Since last year Nike is the main sponsor of the snowpark in Montafon, Austria. Now they build insane features (or even a whole park) at the end of each season. The pipe is nuts!

Swordsandpens, you probadly didn't find anything because all the press material is German-language. Here's a link if you want to brush up on your Deutsch: http://snowboardermbm.mpora.de/events/contests/preview-snake-hammers-im-nike-snowpark-montafon.html

We built the same curvy halfpipe last season as part of the Nike Chosen Sessions, this season's is a little bit longer. Maybe you saw this video last year? http://vimeo.com/39490773

Did you ever go to Talisman and ride their upper pipe back 'in the day'? Their upper pipe had a kink like that in it, and up until 2000 (I think?) they wouldn't let skiers in the main pipe, only the kinked upper pipe. Shit was hilarious, fun, and sketchy all wrapped up in a neat little package.

Reminds me of that final pipe in Shaun White Snowboarding where you had to get a higher score than Shaun. I believe that one curved around like this.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Awesome. Regardless of how good it is I'm always down to see people push the boundaries.

Especially in areas that are almost completely standard. Half pipes have seen little tweaking over the years. the transitions and height have changed but they've been pretty damn consistent.

This is pretty damn cool, some skateboarding shit. You have to try new things once in a while to get anywhere. Nobody has the money or the time to build a snake run halfpipe to find out if it's cool or a bust, glad it's been done.


FUCK YEAH

because snowboarders come up with it first and then have the initiative/money to make it happen.

this is actually so cool though. I hope this catches on, I want to see more of this stuff. this +the travis rice backcountry slopestyle whatever the fuck he called it are the sickest ideas in a long while.
