What is "Freestyle Snowboarding"?

–Freestyle snowboarding consists of riding on many man made obstacles. The types of obstacles can vary from boxes, rails, jibs, and jumps. These obstacles vary in shapes and sizes, depending on the difficulty level of the trail one is riding on. Freestyle riding is when one preforms a trick on the obstacles. Tricks can consist of "jib" or "arieal." For those who do not know what the term "jib" means, it is simply sliding, grinding or pressing on the rail, box, or tree with the bottom of their snowboard.

–When riding freestyle, there is special riding equipment that is recomended.One would be best fit with a soft boot, and a twin tipped snowboard. Most freestyle riders prefer a short board compared to a long one. Short snowboards allow the board to spin faster. Also, a freestyle rider would want filed down edges, and a board with a softer flex.
