No, most half pipes are best described as two quarter circles connected by a flat in between and straight vertical extensions at the top. This is mostly for ease of construction, as building smooth consistent parabolas is quite technical, especially compared with the ease of building circles with constant radius. The difference in the smoothness of transition would be negligible, although not zero.

When a parabola opens downward the vertex is the what value?
The vertex is not affected by the direction that the parabola is facing. The vertex is the place where the two sides of the parabola meet. It is in the middle divides the shape in half. If you picture yourself looking at a bowl from the side and then imagining it as two dimensional, it would look like a parabola but for all of the filled in parts of the graph and the fact that the sides of the bowl don't continue on forever. The vertex is the bottom of the bowl, where the sides meet. You measure a vertex as you would a point; with a coordinate.
How old was Tony Hawk when He retired skateboarding?
I think he was 40 or 39 in a Half in 2008
Is the area of a circle a linear or nonlinear of its radius?
Relationship between radius and area of a circle is nonlinear. Area = pi * radius^2, so it is like a quadratic. If you graphed radius on the horizontal, and area on the vertical, it would be a parabola (actually a half of a parabola, since you cannot have a negative radius).
What is the name of a cool skateboarding move?
