Wouldn't it be sick to have doubles events? Like doubles slopestyle and and doubles pipe. Doubles in the pipe could be soooooo sick. Just imagine someone doing a handplant or a low spin while say Dumont throws his massive trucker 5 over them. Some crazy stuff could be done in slope also.
Discuss.

Yeah, word. It would have to be perfectly choriagraphed (sp?), but the outcome would be epic.

i think that would be sick also a combined slope pipie run would be tight. go from the slope course right into the pipe

ya I've been thinking that for a while. A similar idea I had was to have a short 2-3 hit pipe in the middle of a slope run

Have each rider drop in on different sides, so as one is hitting the right wall, the other is hitting the left wall, and so on.

i dont think that would be a very good idea. it would make us look more like acrobats or something practicing a certain routine or something for the whole season. its gonna turn into a sport that isnt for fun

this past year for the queens cup they had the girls go down in like a team format kinda deal ...mostly because they were running out of time i think, but still, it was pretty cool seeing like a mini show go through the park.

Yeah, but your idea about someone handplant with Dumonts trucker five over.. well, if dumont gets it wrong the handplanter will get injured beecause of dumonts mistake. thats a risk.

would also be the hardest
if someone does lip tricks and the other guy does air tricks itd be so hard to stay next to each other but itd be a good show

two halfpipes next to each other and the competitiors sort of copy each other...sick idea, and a slopestyle run would be amazing, double backflips- goblin and tom wallisch

Would suck if your teammate fell and you had you best run in your life.

I think a team event would be awesome, like have 1 person do slopestyle and their teammate do pipe, and their scores would be averaged, but thats just my take, however duals slopestyle would be sick, maybe even 2 slopestyle courses parallel, but maybe it would suck

or a comp with no spins over 7....

really I don't think it's a good idea, ya it'd look cool but really the risk factor is ridiculous. If this became a regualr competition there would be some major injuries and even some deaths. All it would take is one mistake and woops somebody landed on you and broke your neck. JOI doubles was fine, super wide jump and landing, and it was just one hit
