Half-pipe
A half-pipe is a structure used in gravity
extreme sports such as
snowboarding,
skateboarding,
skiing, freestyle
BMX and
inline skating. The structure is usually wood, although sometimes the surface is made of another material. In appearance, it resembles a cross section of a swimming-pool, and in its most basic form, it consists of two concave ramps (or
quarterpipes), topped by copings and decks, facing each other across a transition. Originally half-pipes were simply half sections of a large pipe. Since the 1980s, half-pipes have had extended flat ground (the flat bottom) between the quarterpipes and the original style half-pipes have become deprecated. The flat ground gives the athlete time to regain balance after landing and more time to prepare for the next trick.

Half-pipe
L'half-pipe (espressione di
lingua inglese che significa letteralmente "mezzo tubo") è una rampa a sezione semicircolare o paraboidale inclinata, sulla quale si scende (o con snowboard o, nel caso dei parchi divertimento acquatici, con gommoni) in moto armonico (smorzato dall'attrito) fino a perdere quota.
