In snowboarding, a halfpipe is a dished area between 1.5 and 3 metres deep, 10 to 20 metres wide, and 50 to 100 metres long, with rounded sides and a flat bottom. They are used by beginner and professional alike as the basis of many tricks.

The areas defined in a halfpipe are: the flat, which is the flat area at the bottom; the verticals, the upright sides of the halfpipe on each side, just below the lip of the pipe; transitions, this is the transitional area going from the flat to the walls; the platform/deck, the area above the vertical that is horizontal, or flat; the entry ramp, this is the starting point.

Coming from anywhere on the deck or entry ramp speed is easily obtained using gravity and momentum to perform some of the most difficult tricks in the world. The sides are easily used for the purpose of jumping, spins, flips, or any combination of tricks a person could imagine or attempt.
