Hi all,
Im having real trouble getting over my fear of catching an edge on boxes. I have a bad experience with a bibby which left me a bit cautious.
After i had my board serviced with snow and rock, it has left me with no cofidence in it aswell as the edges just seem that little sharper. Is it just in my head or would detuning my boards edges result in it being catch free?

Now you got me second guessing, how much luck to skill ratio required!
Also I think bibby's are more scary than boxes...the sound they make don't help either.
Saying all that, they are not the thing to learn boardslides on since they are much easier to fall off. Get confident on boxes and you'll be fine on anything.
The sound is pretty cool though.

they only really make a noise when your not on a flat base.
the giant pipe at Tam still remains one of my favorite featues around. I could ride that all day long
Personally I hate them. I've never ridden one and looked good, always a look of absolute fear on my face follwed by sheer relief when I get off. I learnt to nose slide them and it was the single most painful experience of snowboarding ever.
Big, black, corrugated pipe.
I think like said above I will be some pads and man up.

i've got a couple of those from a rail up L2A last summer

Ah right, I smashed myself on the one at the bash, ha ha

My first ever attempt at riding a corri pipe ended with me face planting then going ar5e over tit
See that makes me think on the smaller smooth yellow pipes.
i would actually say the small yellow ones are more difficult to boardslide that the big black ones. There so much faster!

That looks like some kind of purpose built torture instrument to smack your teeth out...
