Hey all. Looking to build a halfpipe. I only have room for one this big, it's 4'x8'x26' and I'm trying to see if anyone has any experience on a 26" bike on something like this. Would it be fun? Would it be worth it? Thanks!

It would be better if it was wider i'd say, but it would definatly be awsome! i've ridden half pipes about this big just a big wider and there are always new tricks to learn.

wouldnt you be better building 2 quarter pipes so that u can make it as wide as you want???

maybe if you made it 5' tall it might be better

yeah, I might make it a foot or two taller, but I can't make it any wider than 8 feet. that's kinda my concern.

it kinda depends on what tricks your doing. if ur just practicing airs then u dont need it any wider but taller would be good

i have to say a wider one would be a hell of a lot better, i have a similar one in a town near my house and its about 8 foot wide, its too small, u cant really enjoy it and i spend a lot of the time sliding out the side

make it 1 foot taller, the width is alright. I ride 5 feet quarters all the time at my park on my mtb. they have get pretty close to vert so you can learn to air out as opposed to a 4 foot which would be a bit to mellow.
