If you had to choose between riding either only rails or only jumps for the rest of your life what would you choose. Thought of this thread while bored in class, interested to see results..

Jumps for me.

Jumps even though I'm 5x better at rails. Nothing like the feeling of flight

in this fantasy world, can i be invincible? if so, then jumps for sure. Nothing like hucking yourself off a giant table.

otherwise, i'd take rails. you can learn so many new tricks without fucking yourself up, and if rails includes urban than rails for sure.

just saying this because i have had 5 injuries on jumps (including shinbang (and yes its an injury)), and only 1 on rails (sprained wrist).

rails. i rarely ride jumps and pretty much only do cork 3s, cork 5s and 180s. i could live without that or do them off natural features so rails by far.

Rails, you can ski rails year round a lot easier than jumps year round. plus I love the feeling of getting a perfect scissor on a rail

I can't think of a time when falling on a rail was fun.

but i feel u, bruises take twice as long to heal, and i'm more likely to go in the lodge after a hard fall rather than bounce back like the old days.
