Halfpipe

(Before It's News)

Super scary pit of doom up close. Broken glass, burning hot pavement. Got my courage up to jump off the edge a few inches up. Made it. 2nd time a little bolder – narrow edge ride, drop in with a jump. Turning back up the hill on far side I realize I can do a footplant and go down into the hole instead of up out. Then another trick on the far side. Holy shit! It’s a half pipe!

If I was better at these tricks, it would help, but I can do them well enough for the intention to be recognizable.

I wonder if this sport will become common. Maybe in twenty years the concept of a uni half pipe with straight sides will be obvious.
