I'm planning on putting a big ass quarter pipe at the end of a dirtjump line. It's a pretty big line with some good speed plus a downhill approach....so I'm thinking like 12ft high....all wood, 2x4 surface. Kind of like that one that existed for a while at whistler.
Now I've never ridden a quarter that big on a bicycle....just half pipes about that size on a skateboard. So my question is this. Do I need vert on it?
I'm thinking no. Mostly because that allows more room for transition and it's really not that hard to suck up a bike, and you're already going to be pretty light by the time you get to the top. But like I said....I've never ridden one like that.
What say yous? Joe: I'm looking in your direction here
