The snowboarding halfpipe is a U-shaped structure made of snow, designed for snowboarders to perform tricks and maneuvers. It typically features high walls on either side, allowing riders to gain momentum and height as they travel back and forth. The halfpipe is a popular feature in snowboarding competitions, showcasing athletes' skills and creativity. Riders enter the halfpipe from the top and use their speed to launch off the walls, executing aerial tricks such as spins and flips. The design of the halfpipe allows for smooth transitions and helps snowboarders maintain their speed while performing complex moves.
