nzlegend 1 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I am perplexed by this new word that has creeped into the lexicon of snowriders "jibbing". You see until recently I knew of 2 definitions of jibbing. One being the nautical term in regards to sailing and the other a slang word for masturbation. Snow covered Mountains are not particularly conducive to either of these activities (unless you a kinky and like doing it cold), so what exactly is jibbing. Would a jibber please elaborate and enlighten. Thanks p.s. a quick google search didnt really help that much so thats why I ask. Link to post Share on other sites

sweetaz 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 ok...so it's just a rail slide?? Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Some people think that it is just rail sliding and hitting things that arent snow. I disagree adn use the term to mean rails, jumps or hucking of anything. Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I disagree with you jared, jumping is jumping, jibbing is jibbing. I could use a thousand references showing people "jibbing" on rails, boxes, lips, and other structures, and people "jumping" from jumps. And I think I'd be hard pressed to find a shot of someone jibbing off a cheese wedge, but I have a feeling that doesn't change your mind. Why is it that you think jibbing = jumping? And hucking ? ? That's a completely different body motion - when you huck, you are throwing yourself off of something. It get's complicated because you can jump/huck to a jib, or go from a jib to a jump/huck. But they are still different. Link to post Share on other sites
