i disagree. i could hit down rails and dfd boxes easy before i decided to hit a dfd. It was just a huge mental barrier for me. too much time spent in the "best oh shit picture" thread i guess.

that doesnt have anything to do it. dont let the "oh im from the east coast, that means its ok to not be that good in the air" excuse stop you from trying stuff on jumps

Yeah this, alot of videos I see of parks on the east coast are better than the parks I consider good around here, and way better than the park I have to ride 50 percent of the time I ski

i'm way better at rails, but i also hit rails all year, where as i have hit jumps on the east coast maybe 4 or 5 times this season. Idk, both are fun in their own respect

how are we even having this argument? "jumps are way better" "rails are so much harder". do you have a fucking complex? thread is about feeling like you as a skier are better at one or the other. you don't have to make a debate out of it!

just dropping into this thread to say that jumps fucking blow, and just like snowboarding, park jumps will be obsolete in three years, replaced by only urban and back country bootahs.

I think im about even in my sucking, of both rails and jumps, i can grab 5s and spin 270 out both ways on a rail, and im just learning 270s on for me its all fun jibbing is carefree but jumps are more of a rush.

I'm alright at rails, 2s off both ways, and i've been kinda doing 2s on. But my park only has a small jump that changes from 5-15 feet during the season. I tried flipping it today and hurt my neck haha.
