Butter boxes are fun to fuck around on but I'm gonna have to say rails are better and easier.

at my hill once in awhile there's just an unorganized butter box throwdown, theres a crowd of kids and everyone just goes through doing whatever they want. I held hands with a friend who was facing me going switch, then he laid on his back, i push him behind me through my legs- basically switching position so he goes in first but comes off last.

Definitely rails. Boxes can be pretty sketch sometimes especially when park crew doesn't scrape ice off the top of them.

These comments have me laughing at myself. I got to a place where I'm scared of rails and only hit boxes, and here you all are saying rails are easier and boxes are sketch! Which is also funny because I much prefer halfpipe (the superpipe at Copper in fact) to jumps, and I know a lot of people who are afraid of the pipe. I'm weird I guess

Flat bars are fucking stupid. I hate them. They should be illegal. They're like boxes in that you have no control, except they're smaller so you fall off easier.

False. They're wide enough for 50's and surface swaps, but skinny enough where you still have edge control. Best of both worlds.

Tube rails with a radius of about 5 inches are the best thing ever.
