Pipe & park skiing - fully equipped over all kinds of obstacles
Pipe and park skiing is the term used to describe skiing in artificial fun parks. In addition to halfpipes and jumps, skiers will also find rails, boxes and numerous other obstacles that need to be overcome as spectacularly as possible with lots of tricks.
Pipe & park skiing - mastering tricks and stunts with confidence
Pipe and park skiing is a type of skiing that mainly takes place in fun parks. Athletes have to demonstrate their skills with risky tricks and manoeuvres in halfpipes, on boxes and rails (e.g. banisters). Modelled on skateboarding and inline skating, pipe and park skiing is becoming increasingly popular. Urban skiing, in which similar tricks are performed using the urban infrastructure, can be considered related.
Here at XSPO you will find an extensive selection of different brands and affordable models that are suitable for both beginners and advanced skiers. As hard slides and landings are the rule, especially in park skiing, we stock skis with cushioning sidewalls and framewalls in our online shop. The latter protect the surface of the ski from scratches and dents and thus improve its durability.
Pipe skis or park skis are particularly popular with young athletes who have either already switched from alpine skiing or want to switch from another sport. These are usually skaters, surfers or snowboarders who have learnt to appreciate the speed and dynamics of skiing.
Thanks to its modern shape, comparatively small dimensions and extremely robust design, the pipe and park ski is ideal for hard impacts, incisive slides and extra high flights in the pipe. In addition, a slight bend at the tip and tail on many models ensures smooth movements during butters and take-offs without jamming or getting stuck. You can quickly find out which size, construction and waist radius is right for you using the filter functions in our online shop.
