"I Could So Jib That"

Okay, so when I'm walking around town, around my school, wherever, I'm constantly looking for things that could be jibbed.
Every handrail, or surface or feature i see, i can see myself jibbing it, or at least figuring out how i would do it. Whenever i go somewhere new, this is always my routine; what could i jib around here.

Anyone else do the same thing?

Ha, yeah I am the same way. I kind of suck right now though so I would probably just get my ass kicked by the rails that I check out.

I look at them and think about jibbing them. And then if theyre low enough, i pretend i have skis on my feet and jump on them and stuff.

All the time. I scout out stuff and then the snow melts. Then by the time next season comes i forget it's a vicious cycle.

haha. me too. my school was completely redone the last 2 years, and when i first see it, i didn't think about the new quincy jones (yes, he went to my school) performing arts center, or the $120 million renovation... the first thing i said was "ryan (brother), check out that fucking handrail.

haha, unfortunately it doesn't snow much in the city (seattle)

Haha for sure, especially when im driving around town. After the drunken fiasco known as the Claim premiere, one of my good friends was trying to walk me home, apparently whenever I saw anything jibbable I'd run up to it, jib it and yell "jibbed" while doing the Claim fist pump, good times.

I see pillow lines everywhere. There would be a dope double-stager out of the projector room in my geology class if it snowed four feet inside.

I do that also, while i ride the train, but then one day i had a crazy idea to get an abandoned railroad track and jib it /claim (no one steal the idea) i talked to my friends about it and they said that if they could find one, they would hook me up too lol

I do that all the time.  There's some sick rails outside my school, but if you fall of it's a 8-9 foot drop and Fresno never gets any snow.  When I go mountain biking I imagine jumping off all these big drops I see.  It's more of that for me.  I look at tons of urban stuff too.

There's a down flat down at my school where the last down is on an angle to the right. Looks pretty sick, but no in run.

I do this every single day of the year. All the time. Even when its hot out here in DC. I try to remember the spot so that i can hit it on those two snow days we get a year.
