In snowboarding the term jib is used both as a noun and a verb, depending upon what the person is talking about. Also known as "Bonk" or "Tap", it is usually used when discussing freeride, or freestyle snowboarding.

When used as a noun, it referrs to any physical object, platform, wall, or obstacle, etc., that is used to jump up on, or over, whether man-made or natural. Most anything qualifies as a jib, with this loose of a term, trees, curbs, rocks, will qualify, it doesn't matter. If the snowboarder can use it, it is a jib.

With the above definition in mind, when a boarder uses a jib to perform a trick, or maneuver, he is said to be jibbing, or perhaps a person could ask "Do you know how to jib?".

The snowboard that is used to perform the tricks while jibbing is often referred to as a jibstick.
