You may remember that picture of a land rover driving down an enormous dirt pipe I posted a while ago.  Well, red bull held a comp there, and you can watch the videos here.

I'm going to have a bitch about it.  Firstly, those videos are shocking.  You can't see anyone's full run.  The longest clip is what, 5 seconds?  Ridiculous.

Secondly, since when did a halfpipe consist of hips and wallrides?  I saw one rider do an air in the footage.  The whole thing seems to have missed the point of itself.  Yeah yeah it's an amazing feat, and yeah Red Bull are legends for doing it, but it seems to have been turned into a slightly bizarre dirt jump contest, rather than "the worlds first dirt halfpipe comp" as it was billed. 

Anyone with me?

Very true. Defo need runs and people doing back-to-back airs. But to be fair, in terms of the fun factor for riding dirt hips = sex wee
