me and my friends are gonna build a halfpipe and we have no idea for good measurments.

Do you guys have any suggestions for sizes? like length,height, things like that?

We want something you can air out of but also launch and stall on it, aswell as grind. nothing that gives you vert stuff.... We have some plans layed out but im not sure if its gonna work good




#1 - this aint the 60's anymore.. u can lose those bell bottoms..

#2 - this aint the 30's anymore.. quit being a Nazi.

you need about 5ft to be able to do doublepeg and feeble stalls on, but u could have a 3footer but it would be hard unless u got some vert on it.

i think 5ft is about a good size, when u get better at it u can always make it a little bigger

i have built a four foot half pipe, a spine and a kicker and landing. my half pipe is i think 12 feet wide and for just skrewing around on it's fine but it is a little skinny. i dont use coping but i also dont use pegs. my pipe is really warped but still rideable but not skateable, haha silly plank pushers. if you need some more help pm me or whatever. and it's going to cost more than you think.


why are all garages just a few feet to small to ride in?

I like 4' minis to play around on but a steep 5' is probably the most fun. Make it a 7.5' tranny or so. It's personal preference but I like them steep.

A 4' with an 8' tranny is good for a hip or something but you have to lean so far over to peg stall it's not that fun.
