Air game vs rail game

[Shabangarang]

id say im pretty rounded out my rail game an jump game are about the same

 

[Chompo.]

I can do 6 of all 8 but can only spin 5.....

 

[DIX~]

God damn you are a royal idiot

 

[-ROY-]

i pretty much only ski rails and random jib shit. jumps scur me

 

[PJS.]

i disagree. i could hit down rails and dfd boxes easy before i decided to hit a dfd. It was just a huge mental barrier for me. too much time spent in the "best oh shit picture" thread i guess.

 

[guargum]

i live on the east coast which may explain it, but i can't do stuff off of jumps/in the air. as of now, i really only do rails

 

[EmperorKuzco]

that doesnt have anything to do it. dont let the "oh im from the east coast, that means its ok to not be that good in the air" excuse stop you from trying stuff on jumps

 

[-Marc-]

Yeah this, alot of videos I see of parks on the east coast are better than the parks I consider good around here, and way better than the park I have to ride 50 percent of the time I ski

 

[willyg0808]

i can spin way more off a rail than i can off a jump.

 

[aquinn]

i'm way better at rails, but i also hit rails all year, where as i have hit jumps on the east coast maybe 4 or 5 times this season. Idk, both are fun in their own respect

 

[1tenthmoney]

how are we even having this argument? "jumps are way better" "rails are so much harder". do you have a fucking complex? thread is about feeling like you as a skier are better at one or the other. you don't have to make a debate out of it!

this.

 

[ThaLetterM.]

just dropping into this thread to say that jumps fucking blow, and just like snowboarding, park jumps will be obsolete in three years, replaced by only urban and back country bootahs.

you realize candide was a mogul skier before a park skier right?

 

[kingskier]

yeh my rail game is definitely better than air game. but i live in england and dry slope jumps suck!

 

[SKIU4EA]

I get more of a rush stomping air tricks than rails

 

[.squirrely.]

i think im about equal but im way less scared of rails than jumps

 

[Elmo.]

this.... i could k fed 4 out both ways and super brittany before i could ever 5. or 3 with a grab... east coast hell yea

 

[zues]

I find it interesting to hear what people are saying. i cannot spin off a rail at all but i can spin a 540 on a decent booter

 

[jibbinc.]

i have rail game.

but noooooooothing for jumps

360, 540, odd 720 all ungrabbed

frontflips switch 1s and switch 3s

i can do cork and shit on the tramp pretty well, just something about having skis on my feet

 

[Blurst]

This photo tells me enough

 

[Crehm]

I think im about even in my sucking, of both rails and jumps, i can grab 5s and spin 270 out both ways on a rail, and im just learning 270s on for me its all fun jibbing is carefree but jumps are more of a rush.

 

[alex.bgk.]

quit being a dick

 

[.Midwest]

Wanna trade?

 

[3-6-steeze]

I'm alright at rails, 2s off both ways, and i've been kinda doing 2s on. But my park only has a small jump that changes from 5-15 feet during the season. I tried flipping it today and hurt my neck haha.
