half-pipe
U-shaped skating ramp
A half-pipe is a U-shaped ramp or channel used in skateboarding, snowboarding, and similar sports.
Riders travel back and forth across the curved walls, using momentum to launch into aerial tricks at the top edges.
The name describes its shape—like a pipe cut lengthwise in half: She landed a 720 in the half-pipe.
