Alright,i get into discussions with people about what they like better, rails or jumps. See i like jumps just because there is more tricks u can pull in the air than on a rail.
Plus if any of you know were Black mountain is in NH . You know that we don't Hvae a park, yeah i know it sucks, but i'm designing a park for them and i want hear what you have to say.

jumps are more fun for sure. but they are scaryier and hurt more when u fall.....i like rails too cuz i never fall and there easy. pipe is cool but crashing also hurts and sucks alot in there. deep and steep pow is for sure the best

yay skiing

rails all the way... though everything is fun. rails are so good... nothing ever feels like sliding a forty foot flat bar... ever. of course the same goes for spinning off a 50ft booter... but I happen to have more rails at my mountain then sweet jumps... so rails it is.

jumps probably cause it feels a lot better to be up in the air then sliding along a staircase rail or something.

Jumps, everyones better at rails cuz they are easier, and require less balls. Unless there are bigger jumps to rails, but there are WAY more tricks you can do in the air and you get the whole feeling of flying and weightless ness that helps.

There is no feeling that compares to being totally locked onto a rail and greasing it perfectly. But also landing a new trick for the first time feels really good too. Overall, I would have to say rails give me the most enjoyment.

uhhhm you can do more tricks on a rail than you can on a jump... maybe YOU cant do as many but other people can... there are so many possibilities on rails... cork 810 anyone?
