There are many styles and types of snowboarding in existence today, this will help to define freestyle snowboarding for those who are confused.

In freestyle snowboarding, natural and man-made objects are used as a base to perform tricks. There are "boxes" made from polyethylene plastics that the rider can slide on with minimal damage to the bottom of his or her snowboard. Rails, jumps, trees, or whatever features are available, or any immobile object can be incorporated into freestyle snowboarding.

The object of the sport is to use all available features to perform aerial and jib stunts. Jib refers to the stunts performed by doing a press, or slide on a feature not covered in snow. Generally this describes the tricks done using man-made objects, trees, and other natural features without any covering of snow. Equipment used by freestyle snowboarders differs from other equipment in the fact that the board is twin tipped, the board edges are filed down, and boards are shorter.
