Everyone has their favorites, whether it be a certain type of rail, step-up, hip, half pipe etc.

My personal favorite are poppy 20-25 foot jumps, enough air to get techy but not big enough to wreck yourself to bad. Oh and boxrails, doesn't matter if its df, dfd, etc. fun to just mess around on those.

What about you guys? Favorite features and why?

Flat down box are classic but always so fun to hit. I love step ups, there'sn't so many in parks but I like the soft landing.

step ups, butter boxes, corrogated pipes, shotgun rails, jumps where you can air to the sides of the landing, barrels you can tap, and mellow c boxes that are pressable

up flat rails are sweet and tubes are easy to make yourself feel good just because they're so easy to throw shit on.

Big (50-70ft), floaty stepovers with a nice smooth pop and decently steep take off. AKA pretty much all Breck jumps :)

Also fat tube rails are tons of fun and almost always slide like butter.

flat down, or just mellow down rails. also shotgun boxes are fun, anything that you can get on the side of.

also just a flat box that you can spin and spin on.

Not necessarily, if you think about it all you need is for the pitch to level out before the lip nautrally, and then the landing can be above or equal to the height of the lip fairly easily

I'd say step ups are the easiest to make. Unlike normal jumps you can make them at the bottom of a hill on the flat. just have the takeoff sitting on the flat and then a big pyramid in front of it.
