I just ride whatever's the best at the time and what I feel like. Could be pow, could be rails, could be jumps.

I dont really like park rails much anymore,they get boring, but I love street rails.
Good jumps are sweet, but there are too many that suck.
A good pipe is my favorite.

40% rails, 60% jumps. i like rails, because i am fairly good on them and they still are challenging, with 270s on and off, switchups and whatnot, and then trying everything unnaty, but jumps are more fun, but harder to hike
