No one's going to be believe me but the best rails are at Rabbit Hill. Maybe 2nd best in Canada.

downtown calgary has the best rails! every where u go u find a good one! an actual mountain id say would be nakiska, they ahve the curved rainbow (small), rainbow, that rolling double kink, a long flat an a frame box, a short flat, they have lots of stuff, rabbit has duble GHETTO kink, single kink is decent, curved rainbow is good but the turn is way to sharp, and the trapezoid is bunk, i dunno, i think it just blows, super duper BAD BAD flow too

well when u have 300 feet to build a park in, what do you expect? Flow sucks at rabbit. When they built their table up to 55 feet it was pretty sweet though.

rabbits are definatley not 2nd best in canada man! UR ON CRACK! ive traveled a lot siing and st sauvuer has ill rails, fortress has better rails then rabbit so does nakiska, kimberley, fernie, le relais is ill, obviously WHISTLER, man its close to the bottom, except for that one hill/ pile of dirt in saskatchewan. theres grouse mountain too which has all COC's rails, and Apex near penticton has a million SICK rails including like 6 foot high S!

well first find boots that fit will, but the powerstrap as tight as you can get it, and on the soft inner boot not the plastic shell, if it doesnt fit well twist the tongue so it fits tighter, you can even buy dense foam and insert it, also try not to land backseet and don't put to much forward pressure on your boots, it isnt needed a centered stance is best anyways, if your still getting it try softs, for you i think they would be great because you mostly ride park anyways.

its really hard to explain shin bang, when you get a mild case it sorta feels like odd static on your leg hairs, but after a while it feels like a little 10 year has been pounding on your shins all fucking day long and you are just about to snap...
