$5 vs $500 Snowboard Jib Training

In this video I'm comparing two snowboard jib training setups on either end of the price scale. A converted old skate deck and the Snowboard Addiction jib training board and bar.

As long as you have an old skateboard deck you only need to buy duct tape and a 2L plastic bottle. It's easier if you can use an old pair of shoes, tape them firmly to the skate deck in your preferred position. Adding duct tape around the bottle held to increase resistance and stop it from sliding.

The Snowboard Addiction jib board is designed with the bar to recreate the feel of a snowboard and it definitely succeeds at that. All I can say is if you like to go in the park and you have the money consider buying this product. The board has a great flex, the bindings are comfortable and the addition of the white block on the rail offers some variety.

Snowboard Addiction is based out of Whistler and I have the met the guys and they are all great. I don't want this to be seem as my calling out their product, it is fantastic. Closer to the truth is that I, personally, don't have $500 to spend on a jib practice setup and I am not a huge fan of the park. I also live in Whistler and being a bigger mountain it's a great place for all mountain and technical riding which is what I really enjoy doing. But if you, dear reader, are going in the park regularly this will definitely make you a better rider

If you can't afford this, don't fret too much. There are ways that you can recreate a similar experience and even get a tasty beverage out of it.

As you may be able to tell I am not sponsored by Snowboard Addiction or Coca-Cola.
