So I decided to compete in Pipe at usasa nationals this year (winging it). I don't have a local halfpipe because I live in PA. I can do 5s and flairs but not much more than that.

Does anyone know some easy tricks or good tricks to try? or any other pipe advice?


Thanks

That run was arguably the most creative stunning runs of Olympic history

try down the pipe and alley-oop, nose butters, tail butters, switch spins, unnatural.spins It's not that hard to think of tricks if you can only spin to 540

I can spin past 5, just that as much as I've done so far. I'm considering flat 5s, flat 3s, corks? switch things?
i just dont know how you learn those bigger tricks and am looking for advice.

The pipe is open pretty much every day in the afternoon before the day of the comp besides the specific training sessions for your group so you should have a bunch of time to ski it. The pipe is usually shaped perfectly so it should be good.
