What is the JIBYARD to me?

I get asked a lot of questions about what the Jibyard is, and I wanted to tell you all what it is to me.

I loved spending everyday of my life jibbing and chilling with riders from all over the place, and watching them progress so much in just one day. The Jibyard is an indoor ski and snowboard terrain park, but to me it us so more than that....The Jibyard is my dream.

I have always wanted to have a place that represents what I love most about not just riding but life as well. Life is all about learning a progressing every day. Its about being open to all possibilities. The Jibyard is a place the is built and completely dedicated to that cause. Like the Jibbers who session here every day, the Jibyard itself will never stop developing new concepts and toys for all of you to come and play on. We stared out with 4, and we already have 12 different rail options.

My brain is busting with so many concepts and ideas, and as a lot of you know, I can go on for hours about them if you don't stop me. I love what I do, and the Jibyard is my heaven. I built it because it is what I love, and I am so stoked that you all love it. It means a lot every time a jibber leaves and says it was the best time they have ever had. I cant wait for the jump to go in. I just finished the designs and it is going to be perfect. We will hold a big air contest to celebrate.

Every company who is affiliated with the Jibyard does it out of respect for what we stand for. We dont accept money from any of them. There support comes from a sincere mutual respect. The Jibyard does not believe in affiliating with companies who are in it for themselves. We are in it to leave a positive mark on the NS spirit.

I promise you all that I will never let the vibe the resides here die. Everyone here is stoked on helping each other and cheering each other on. I dont tolerate better riders hating on the less experienced ones. We all sucked at one point, and we all need to remember that.

I have had a lot of emails and calls asking if we are going to build other Jibyards. I want nothing more than to offer a Jibyard for all of you, but the Jibyard name means a lot to me. If I can figure out a way of doing multiple Jibyards without it losing its soul, I will do it. The Jibyard will never become some big deluded setup were the people who run it don't give a shit about you.

The Jibyard is not just an indoor terrain park.....It is my dream, and I am not fucking around.

Thank you all so much for your support of the Jibyard, and Mike and I promise to keep it "yours" forever.

Sorry for the big long story, but I just wanted you all to know how I feel and express my thankfulness to you all.

The Ogden UT Jibyard is so ill, you all need to come and check it out!!!!

It sounds like the comp/ TV Show on July 28th is going to go off! I urge you all to come show your support for this place on the 28th and help this place keep core for all skiers for many years to come.

See you there!!

The Jibyard is ill. I am so stoked on that place because I can go there and ride for hours and not get bored at all, it is so much fun and it WILL improve your riding. I guarantee anyone who goes will learn new tricks every time. If you watch the kids who ride there a lot, its amazing to see how much they improve and how quickly they do it.

With the new rails and boxes being built all the time, the constant improvements, the rider input that they put into the place, the jump thats being built, and the weekend packages and whatnot that are coming, this place is the ultimate training ground.

I also think a Jibyard in the midwest would be sick, although its almost scary to think how good kids would be if they had something like this there....

Congrats Brad & Mike

Considering how quickly kids learn around here on ice and stuff, I can only imagine how quickly they would learn on a super low risk interchangeable set up like the Jibyard.

Is the Jibyard a good place for people to learn rails the first time...I really want to go but I'd have to split gas with someone and my buddies don;t do rails, but maybe I could talk them into learning...

I blew my knee in January and didn't get to ski all season. I got 270 on, front and blind switchups with various spins off in a day. also nose tappy things onto rails and half switchups to various nollies off, which I learned there.

it's such a fun sessioning vibe.

you really do learn how to jib reeaallly fast. i could ride rails but they always scared me but now i got lots of confidence. everyone is wayy chill to. its the most amazing place to learn. you can learn on the mellow fun box then take it to the long down box then to the street style rails. its the best place to progress hands down
