Superpipe

A superpipe is a large halfpipe structure used in extreme sports such as snowboarding, freestyle skiing, skateboarding, scooters, freestyle BMX and vert skating.

For winter sports, the term superpipe is used to describe a halfpipe built of snow which has walls 22 ft (6.7 m) high from the flat bottom on both sides.

[1][2] The term superpipe has evolved over the years as the size of halfpipes has grown.

Originally, 18 ft (5.5 m) halfpipes were known as superpipes, but during the early 2000s, major competition organizers listened to rider feedback and began constructing 22' halfpipes for competitions.

Because of the high expense of constructing and maintaining them, there are not that many halfpipes in the world, and very few true superpipes.
