Word origin

The term 'jibbing' has its roots in the early snowboarding culture of the 1980s and 1990s, when riders began to experiment with incorporating urban elements into their winter sports. Originally, the word 'jib' referred to a part of a sailboat, suggesting a sense of maneuvering and agility. Over time, it evolved to describe the act of sliding or grinding on obstacles. The integration of skateboarding tricks into snowboarding led to the widespread adoption of jibbing as an essential skill among snowboarding enthusiasts. As terrain parks became popular, jibbing became a standard feature of freestyle competitions, further solidifying its place in the winter sports lexicon.
