For all you rail rats out there..

simple question: round or flat?

FINALLY getting snow up here in vt, tryin to decide what to set up today (pvc tubes vs rails vs picnic table)

just wondering do you prefer round rails (tubes in this case) or flat bars (not the super wide ones that are pretty much boxes)

for the record: fuck boxes, they are for noobs, snowboarders, and pussies

personally i prefer round, easier to grip
 
boxes are great for recovering after an injury and getting used to the motion or rotation of tricks, finding your edge on pretzels and you can be pretty creative with some tricks on them..
 
honestly i like flat bars the best, good for practicing swups and 2s on/off. round rails are fine but super narrow ones are harder for me to trick than flat bars. literally fuck boxes, they are not that chill.
 
damn a lot of hate on boxes here. boxes are great you can literally do anything on them. but when it comes to rails nothing says scissor like a nice single round rail
 
fat barrels like these...

i also like those reeeally skinny round ones because they're typically really smooth and make a cool sound.
 
ROUND! I actually had to learn rail on round rails because that's all my hill had, but they made a bar rail this year, and it's incredibly easier
 
I like them both. I really with my hill would put up on of the lift pole tube things that are really wide, they look so damn fun.
 
any round rail from 4 to 12 inch diameter is perfect for gripping and spinning off. shotgun rails are fun too
 
Our mountain has both types and both are great. But I prefer square or flat bar. It forgives pop lazyness on the switch up and 2 ins
 
snow making tubes or like lift tubes... or any big diameter tube. they are so fun. and you can do a ton of stuff with them
 
I wouldn't completely write off boxes, are you guys saying you don't enjoy a nice big whaletale box?
