SuperPipe is probably the most awaited competition of the Winter X Games. And the picture of this floodlit over-sized Pipe gets all freestyle fans to dream... Its king-size dimensions give the riders maximum speed and amplitude.

Athletes are judged on amplitude, execution, difficulty, landings and use of the SuperPipe.
