What do you guys find harder?

Personally I think it's way easier to spin and do big jumps, but I'm not really into rails right now.
 
I wasn't into rails when I first started so I was all about big 360s because Johnny Mosley was doing them. Now I love rails. So I guess rails were harder cause I didn't start them till later
 
rail, right now for me because I have gaint heavy feet witch = gaint heavy boots, and there not center mounted, or even close.
 
yeah i used to be able to do rails then i broke my leg doing them and now im too scared. but im a decent spinner regular and switch
 
well today i couldn't jib to save my life so today spinning was easier even though i just topped out at a 180.
 
That's kinda what I'm like but not because of Mosley...

I'm too concerned about doing spins (just got a 3 and almost a 5) and I still gotta learn how to jump switch so I haven't really been into rails because the part of the park with the big jumps doesn't really have any rails I can hit on the way down to the jumps.
 
rails are way easier cuz for like 90% of the season we dont have any jumps! now i stink at jumps.
 
rails are much harder. at least like spinning on to them and being considered "good" at them. much easier to be seen as "good" at spins.
 
as far as being good, rails for me.

I think just sliding a rail is easier than spinning, but that's basic. I can spin well with grabs off jumps, so I guess that is considered kind of good, but I can't do crazy stuff on rails, only like 270's out and shit.

Also, I have been jumping forever, but I only started doing rails this year, so that might be a factor
 
im gonna say rails but then again i dont even try ones if they are high enough to nut myself cuz ive done that a few times this year and it sucks im just trying to avoid that pain a little
 
Spinning is definatly harder for me, the mountains I got to are hard pressed to make good jumps, and for that very narrow window of the year when they can, they get pounded to shit so I can't work on them much...
 
no rails are extremly easier then spinning. all rails are pretty much the thing but spinning is so hard. spiinning on to rails is a different story
 
seems like a lot of people don't get decent enough jumps at their mountain, and you can always do rails so that seems a good explanation for why spins are harder for some people.
 
id say rails are harder for me i mean yeah i can slide most of them and 270 out but thats about it which isnt considered too good i dont think...but i think i can make my spins look much better so rails are harder
 
I dont even fuck with jumps anymore, I used to think spinning was important but if I ever learn to spin past 180 it will be off a rail.
 
I am alright at rails, but last year, i could only 180 on jumps. Now, i can do tonnes of grabs, 360 grab, and sketchy 540 grab....i like jumping better...so i guess being "good" at spinning is easier than being "good" at rails
 
Im pretty good at rails, I can 270 on, switchup both ways, occasionaly I can manage to pretzel, but im not that good at jumping, 3 and 5 grabs, but I can spin to five all 4 ways.
 
im afraid of jumps ever since like 2 years ago where i messed my face up. I found reffuge on rails and find im pretty good at them. Im practicing in the backyard these days to pull a 270 off
 
rails. i feel in control even when i totally fuck up a spin, but when a rail goes wrong, it goes wrong badly.
 
I think what it is, is that rails are so much easier to practice than spins... like you can go and hike a rail for hours and get tons and tons of hits on it... but like it takes so much more effort to hike a decent sized jump so you dont get as many hits. plus when the jumps or the landings suck... or are icey or something you can almost always find a rail thats set up nice... I would say that rails are easier than spinning but spinning onto rails is more difficult than either.
