How To Make Your Board Ready For Park (Mainly jibs)

So you wanna learn how to tune your ride for jibbin the bachy way I see? Well this is how I roll.

There are several main parts, which include Wax, stance width, stance angles, edges and stance setback.

Wax - Wax is definitely something you should invest in, buy an
iron, buy a years worth of wax, buy a scraper and go for it. Waxing will help you slide better on boxes and rails with out any hang ups. For further info on waxing watch a video here made my boy Jeef - Video How To Wax Your Snowboard

Stance Width - This is definitely a must not only to make it looker a lot nicer, but a lot easier and more stable on boxes and rails, too. I would say for the average person who would like to see a future in jibbing, should definitely consider a 22-25ish inch stance. It's a little weird at first but it helps, A LOT.

Stance Angles - Alright for park duck-footed is almost a must, actually it is a must. Nothing to crazy, I think any where in between from 25 to -25 is a pretty much standard, just make sure your a little duck footed at least.

Hey dude, is it ok if I add more on edges? Like how to bevel them. I busy right now, but if it's cool, I'll add it later.

Definitaly, I never bevel or sharpen my edges. I just ride them and after about 10 times going up shredding there dull as **** on a new board for me, especially since I love running into shit. I don't bevel my edges because, I dont think that I need to (should I???), because when I had sharp edges I was a lot more prone to slipping out on rails and landing on my ass/ face. If anything I detune my board.
