Boxes are easier to make it to the end but much more difficult to do switchups and spins off.

its weird im kinda with you, like most boxs i ride are tilted so its hard to greese, but when you try techy stuff they become a lot easier, and rails are oppostie always easy to mak but harder to do moves

i think boxes are fine when your just learning, but if they're sticky, then your screwed.
but rails have down side, you have to be at 90 everytime and balance is harder.
i think boxes are easier.

i think boxes are easier but that kinda takes the fun out of it. i would rather hit rails then boxes any day.

i find boxes to be way easy. it requires almost no balance, just the ability to get onto it. you actually need to be good to be able to stay on a rail
but thats just my opinion

boxes are hard to come on foward and just come off forward. its hard to just strait grind a box without comin off switch or spinning on it. Rails are just hard to slide the whole way and easier to pretzel because its easier to stop ur rotation on a rail

considering that boxes are usually a foot wide at least and rails a couple inches and for most a foot wide platform in comparison to a platform thats only a couple of inches wide is much easier to balence/stay on im going to have to pick boxes, final anwser.

boxes are easier to learn and slide for sure
but when the box is 40+ feet long and like 6 in wide it can get harder than a rail cause you cant balance. So you have to be on straight from the start
but thats a bad arguement cause boxes are deffinately easier
