i have this level which is the actual headbanger pipe. i'm afraid it's totally useless though as a training level :P (although quite fun to hoyl)

headbanger pipe isn't really a pie as much as a speed compression... doesn't require pipe skills imo

No, its almost useless to practise on. The hard part is to stabilize in the start of the pipe, then just hopes it goes well.

So wtf is it then? I have made all sorts of tricks but when it comes to two walls or roof/ceiling forcing you to compress freakin' bike then it's sure a pipe dammit. That very lev has had a pipe for five years so you chill teh chobo.

I know pies cuz i always feel my bones shivering as soon as I enter teh

Crazy, what i mean is that you don't need to be a good pipe player to do HB. getting inside is not what i consider a pipe-specific skill, and fuck all you have to do is volt or space for about two seconds and then it's over. playing pipes over and over won't really make a difference... except maybe for confidence or something i dunno. still not a pipe.
