why do there seem to be less and less rails, and more and more boxes in parks now of days.

as long as there is decent selection of both just leave it alone

^ yup...i find it harder doing a 270 on a box AND off a box rather than a rail... rails make it stickier to land the 270 on and have less surface area to get ur skis to do a 270 off or any type of spin

its nice to hit a box every so often to mix things up, but otherwise i gues boxes would be easier to practice on before hitting rails
