If you had to choose between riding either only rails or only jumps for the rest of your life what would you choose. Thought of this thread while bored in class, interested to see results..

Jumps for me.

Rails, solely for the reason that you can use a rail as a jump, if you make it big enough, but it's impossible to turn a jump into a rail.

Rails. If I get tired of them I'll just jump off the side of a cannon or the jump it's embed in.

jumps. probably cut your ski career shorter than doing only rails but they are 500 times scarier and more fun than rails.

im already getting bored of rails haha skiing them only for the rest of my life would suck i think. jumps are always fun

ooooooh... I feel like rails are more versatile and there are so many jib features, but jumps are my SHIT man...

I choose suicide.

that makes zero sense. With all the different axis's forward and switch plus grab combos? f anything rails are more limited.

jumps.

i thought me meant jumps just in the park. obviously back country and powder skiing take precedence.

I could honestly give up all aspects of park skiing to just hit natural kickers into pow. Park skiing is just a way to have fun when there's no fresh snow, or no snow at all (backyard setup)

but nothing IS worse than overshooting a massive step down and eating shit on the icy landing.

jumps = danger
rails = harmless fun (travelling circus)

yea i guess it depends where your from. but if your a true skier you've been out west and have rode at many different hills/mountains so everyone should know what legit jumps are like.

Definitely Jumps. The stoke factor when I land new tricks on jumps is certainly higher than it is on rails.
