Talk:Half-pipe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is a part of WikiProject Extreme Sports, the goal of which is to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Extreme Sports on Wikipedia. Collaboration of the month: None! -- Vote for next month's!

[edit] Title

The title of this article is spelled incorrectly. Half-pipe is the correct spelling, which currently redirects to this. See the Webster's Dictionary entry here: [1].

The main article should be "Half-pipe" and this page should be the redirect. I am willing to make the changes to this and the articles that link here myself but will wait a while to see if there are any sources supporting the unhyphenated "halfpipe" spelling (sources on par with Webster's, that is).

[edit] Bias

There is a significant pro-Australian bias in this article. From a brief read, it seems like the only halfpipes in existence reside in NSW, Australia.

Agreed. I want to delete the section, I'm not sure halfpipes in Australia is very encyclopedia worthy... Orbframe 08:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Because I'm an Aussie, and have no experience in Extreme sports, I'm not the person to correct this. I'm just trying to give you guys the heads up -- Saberwyn - 02:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definitions

The article is missing the definition of fs/bs transition. I think it's one of the most common questions among beginning boarders and should be mentioned here.
