What’s your pleasure? I think I’m more of a jib oriented person… as that falling feeling doesn’t bode well for me. I don’t even like roller coasters because that feeling in my stomach freaks me out! I want to get so much better at jibbing too… like real smooth front sides, spinning on top of boxes, maybe even try some handrails? (NOT next to staircases of course…)

Jumps. Jibbing freaks me out because I don’t like the idea of wrapping my knee around a rail. Plus, I’m terrible at it.

I like drops with soft fluffy pow below.  Or backcountry booters with soft fluffy pow. yay soft fluffy pow.

Park stuff… I guess I like both, as long as the features are kiddy sized. 

I’m a bit more interested in learning to be good at jumps tho, so that I can do fancy tricks off drops before landing in the soft fluffy pow.  Right now I’m pretty sure I just squeal and wave my arms around.

The pipe is fun too.

i love both. i really want to do some backcountry booters though. take me to some kelly.

Not one for jumps.. But I guess I never really tried it..
First time I hit a rail it was in the smaller park, and from then on just stuck to rails and boxes..  I have to try one with a gap next..

I love riding the stunt ditch and throwing dem dar whirly birds.

i’m more of a pipe person….jibbin just doesn’t entice me since i dont have health ins…...my new fav thing is flat land butters though….

If conditions are right, maybe when you and halley come out to CO \

You kinda have to help build it tho.

Of course, building it is half the fun!

Yeah… watching YOU build it, Kode.

I don’t think you’re allowed to hit it if you don’t help build it… backcountry rules.

Psh whatever I stick to the Mark Landvik rule of thumb.  “I just go out in there with a broom find the jumps sweep them off then hit it, that way I don’t have to build anything, saves time and energy.”  He’s a very wise man.

jibs… I grew up riding in Shitsouri and since they didn’t get much snow, they focused more on setting up rails and stuff… I miss jumping, so I’ll definitely do that a lot more this year now that I live in slummit county

jib, because we don’t have snow at all and indoor the layer is 5 cm snow and a concrete floor under it. Doing jibs & rails is all we do in the indoorslopes.

i really do want to learn to jump!

Agreed. I am way more down to do a jump. Bad experiences with jibbing.

Jumps, I think… I was getting into rails until I tried a 3-stage double barrel that I apparently wasn’t ready for… my board got caught in the supports when I came off and did a front somersault, chin-first.  everyone thought I broke my neck, but no… I just couldn’t twist my back for 4 days.  After that, for some reason I got a little less gutsy on the jibs.
