barok 0 Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 http://www.staticproject.com/clips3.html I found this jib on the TWSNOW forum. I think it's funny. More of a stunt than a trick, but who is counting Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Hey, this is even funnier if you run it backwards. Grab the progress bobble with the mouse and wang it leftwards. Then wiggle it backwards and forwards. Link to post Share on other sites

nagoid 4 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 What exactly is a "jib"? Can anyone explain? Thankx Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted May 15, 2002 Author Share Posted May 15, 2002 jib is when you hit any man-made obstacle with your snowboard (or skiis). the obstacles are more often than not, metal rails, but you can also hit funboxes, concrete structures, stairs, or objects formed from ice or snow. you generally grind or slide on the obstacle. i kinda thought it missed the point of (snow)boarding, until I tried it, it's super fun.

Ocean11 0 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 It's also super fun watching videos of unsuccessful jibs. There's an example on that site that barok posted where a guy trips going down a stair rail and smacks his face on the concrete steps. ohmygod! I saw another series, of people trying to ride around a curved rail with some predictable but highly interesting falls at the end. Whiplash tends to wrap the failed jibber around the bottom of the last pole of the rail. oo,ouch! barok, how's the thang with the tables and the skateboard coming along? Still got your teeth? (you wanta keep them in good shape for coming to Japan - dentistry is an altogether different story here) Link to post Share on other sites
