Yeh should work $$$ for you in the park, just make sure to de-tune the edges when you get them because I think they are shipped tuned up for the pipe

I've never owned them personally, but I hear they work great in arts and crafts.

Pipe cleaners work great for the park, riders like reed lewis and torin ride them in the park, a couple things  to look out for is that it has a race base meaning you need to take care of it in order to keep you flying down the mountain, second the edges come beveled so you need to detune them or you not going to have a good time on rails hope this helps :)

Pipe cleaners will break if you ski them outside of the park. There is a GPS in them with the coordinates of all the half pipes in the world. They self destruct if you leave the pipe.

They are also really good for cleaning pipes, like when you get a ton of hair and shit down the drain, they work wonders

very true, they are manufactured as a pipe skis so all you do is de-tune the edges so you have a smaller chance of catching on a rail.

Out of curiosity, what other skis must be detuned to maintain efficeincy in the park?

all skis. they come with sharp edges, which makes them more prone to catch on rails. detune them so they dont hook as much, which can make you fall less (if that is your problem) and the edges dont crack and thus pull out as easily
