I just wanted to see if most people felt more comfortable on rails or jumps. I definatly feel way more comfortable on rails (and that was before i had hit a summer set up). and im so much more afraid of hitting jumps and trying tricks in the air

I'm way better at rails but I'm comfortable on jumps up to around 50ft.

Rails if im not trying a something new, but jumps if i am. 2 much danger to my nuts to feel comfortable on new rail tricks.

Rails because my resort does not have jumps. I really like a good booter into powder though

i feel like rails are more of a break in between jumps sort of thing, but still really fun.
or thats kind of how its set up in my park, one then the other, then one then the other.

so i do an even amount of both, and enjoy both equally
