Jibbing is all about freestyle, Jibbing means a snowboarding slang to the ride rails, tables, trees, etc. The thing about jibbing is what is used for jibbing, mainly for jibbing you use all natural elements like tree stumps or rocks and things like that. You also can use rails and boxes, jibbing is all about balance. I mean snowboarding is all about balance but when you get past turning and learning and want to move on to the cool things, then is requires so much more balance. Like doing a board slide on a 1 inch wide pole on a down hill slant. It seems so cool but guess what! It’s way harder then it looks cause you have to keep so much balance on your way down. Because if you don’t have that balance you will either slide off or completly fall (not fun). But when you learning those type of things you will fall its not like you gonna get it on you first try!
Another word you may use for jibbing is grinding, but they are not the same exact thing see grinding is when your board hits medal and makes a sound like a 2 medals “grinding” together.
So grinding is more commenly said when involving rails instead of natural elements. Jibbing can be dangerous at times if you have never hit that element before, like say you want to a 3 of a stump, you might want to take it a little more easy like straight airing it until you know how to land it, or not even hitting the element at first so you can see the landing and then coming back up and doing the 3.
*Backside* And *frontside*
The difference from Backside and Frontside is that, in frontside you have more stabilty because you are using your front foot.
When you are doing back side you are hitting the element switch (or with your back foot foward instead of your front foot.)
Peace, love, and snowboarding!

Learning to snowboard. Learning to snowboard is not the easiest thing you will ever do in your life!
Why I bring up the Vew-do board is the Vew-do board actually can really help you in snowboarding (mainly for freestyle) See for snowboarding you need alot of balance and if you don’t have balance you are sure to fall. So if you have a Vew-do board to work on your balance then it is way easier to snowboard. Imagine if you had to ride a Snurfer! Then you would be much happy about having really good balance. As you can see by the video.. You can do tricks on the Vew-do board. It is hard but its really fun to do. I’m not trying to sell them. All I’m saying is that they can help you skills with snowboarding but also can trampolines and just being dedicated.
