Rail jams are fun.

I really like the big air jam format at the x-games, I find it far more fun to watch than something like three runs each

railjam!

you get to watch all the tricks everyone does, and the vibe in general is much better. Rider judged is ideal.

slopestyles and pipe comps just seem like a rehearsed routine, and crashing is a much bigger deal.

Big airs are sick, but still just a huck-off.

I'd love to see another urban rail-type event like the snowboarding one they had at the Xgames.

Rail jams. Not even close.

Hiking a rail with a bunch of people throwing down is fun no matter how you place. Whenever I'm in a rail jam I sometimes forget I'm competing when everyone is so stoked on everyone else's tricks.

If I'm watching live then big air, it's easier to see who's riding and what tricks are going down as well as it usually being at night which creates a cool atmosphere. I find watching slopestyle live difficult, as if you want to know whats going on in relation to scores etc you have to stand at the bottom and can't see what's going on up the top unless you watch the screen.

Rail jam no doubt. Nothing like eating shit and learning new tricks with friends!

Rail jams. They feel a lot more fun. All you focus on is your next trick and if you don't get it you run right back up and try it again. Plus you see everyone else throwing down.

I like to watch slopestyle because I like to see the course and how people use it.

Rail jams, this is my first full season of park and jumps of any real size are still super sketchy for me.

I enjoy slopestyle, good mix of everything in there, not just one side of the sport
