possible, and not miss any days on the hill because of injury. Boxes are really fun though, and I get enjoyment from them because there are so many different tricks and variations of tricks that you can try to master, let alone mastering them with style! It gives lots of opportunity for progression. The feeling of stoke when you learn something new on a snowboard is pretty much the most fun that there is to be had. I think Crackers should post his "Why I don't ride rails anymore" vid, here!...its crazy & not for the faint-hearted! i havent tried rails yet but they are interesting me more and more.....im pretty confident and fine on boxes, just getting that confidence up for the rails is the problem at the moment...i keep thinking about all the potential of caning myself lol mind you at the same time, i don't spend much time in the park either, i prefer cruising around the whole mountain Why ride rails? Hmmm, i don't really see it as any different to hitting jumps. why ride jumps or rails? Cos it's fun to scare yourself a little bit and the feeling of locking in to a trick and stomping it or sailing through the air knowing you're in great shape is a feeling to be cherished and pursued. Also you can't do frontside or backside tricks on most boxes (not that there aren't a shedload of cool tricks that you can do on them!) What are rails?
