When I heard the debate about 1 footed grinds, I pictured 1 footed sideways. I think a down rail could be done 1 footed like left foot forward and right foot up with a 270 out would look so sick. no straight on. it could be done on a down rail maybe not a flat or up..
 
They're not gay, not lame, not uncool, not unprogressive... To me, they just don't look attractive.
 
posted 40 seconds after danyboy, haha

who the f cares,

one footed grinds are pretty hard, and you can't tell me that charles made them look gay either
 
one foot grinds are coooooool.

but only back foot(lift your front foot) 1foot slides.

front footers(lift your back foot) are just gay
 
every one who says is gay are gay. that is part of the progression and if we wouldnt try new tricks skiing would never progress.
 
Wait. So are you gay? Is that an insult, if you called someone else gay, ins't it calling yourself gay, cause you insulted someone else?
 
not necesarrilly but lets remember back to colby wests double nose. does anyone that used to hate them like them now? if so theres evidence!
 
one footed grinds are just a way to further jibbing in skiing. If you dont like em dont do em. Its jsut like skiing without poles, its called diversity and thats why I like skiing: Because nobody should say this is not cool dont do this blablabla I dunno if Im clear but W/e fuck you haters
 
1 footed shit is so hard, if you call it gay you probably just can't do it and are scared that skiing will get out of hand and you will fall behind.
 
i dont care if it is hard it looks like shit. and charles doesnt make them look good either. if anything its just copying rollerblading and not doing our own thing, copying some gay sport is not progression, making our own shit is.
 
Why the fuck would it be "GAY" ???? You dont like it? well jsut fuckin ride with poles I dont like it either hence I ride with poles but I do respect people who dont use em. same with friggin 1 footed grinds damn
 
I can do front foot or back foot forward grinds, front foots are ridiculous hard (best soo for is switch on 270 out), i think this looks cool and for some reason the other 4 guys i ocassionally ride with can do one footers to, i think they're fun, and they test your balance. Wether its progression or not I dont really care cuz I ride for fun. But those people that think they;re gay, they shouldnt say shit till they can one foot a large kinked rail, and most of them probably are a bunch of kids that spend more time on the comp worrying bout progression then actually having fun riding.
 
PS for those that think one footers are gay, try riding with mostly snowboards too, you pull that 50 50 shit all the time they dont care bout reg or unnatty, so you better get innovative, and so far i havent met one boarder that totally didnt completly respect one footers
 
This is what Pep Fujas said in response to someone saying that "apparently you cant place in the X-Games if you dont do a switch 10":

And can you believe we will have to do one footed slides next year since mr. gagnier decided to set such a nice precedent for us. As much as everyone has been trying to phase out rollerblading as an influence, it is now imbedded in our history...boooo to that. Anyhow, I will be in MSP, WAR and POP YER BOTTLES!!! Filming has been going o.k. but the season is already over, at least over here in France. Thanks all!

pep, tanner any skier with a brain for that matter will never do them becuase they are gay ....rollerblading and ganier did em.....simple pep layed it down 1 footers are gay and noone should do them.
 
In the other thread on one footed rails, someone said man has been made to walk on his two legs so one-footed rails were lkike insults to man-kind. i just have something to say to that guy: before men could walk on two legs, he had been walking over 2 millions years on four legs. so it would be normal that evolution gets us to one-foot rails
 
i think the one footed grind is very progessive, people just don't want to admit it because they are can't do them. I myself cannot do them but i think it is a good difficult trick. I think people will change there minds as soon as they try it. As one great guy said: "don't knock it till you rock it."
 
50-50 is not hard only you have the goste for the .it hard land a difficult trick in 50-50 ex:switch 180 50-50 but it possible,look in white shine charles land a switch 270 one foot and its the trick a tried .you catch the 50-50 asnd after you have a lot new idea for the new rail ex;x gring , makio,soul ,soul to board,etc,you need ball for this ,and after a long time you land 5050 you put style inside and that its pretie grete
 
its funny how everyone is all over pep and tanner on this. it almost seems like an east coast / west coast kinda thing... whoever said one footers come from snowblading is wrong, rollerbladers have been doing them for years, and there is nothing wrong with that. why is it ok that we draw influence from snowboarding or skatebaording but not rollerblading, when in fact, rollerblading is more similar to skiing than snowboarding or skateboarding is? think back 10 years ago, people thought skiing backwards was rediculous, sacriligious, whatever you wana call it. now, its the norm in our part of the ski world. you all say you want progression; then let it happen. style comes with time, give fastslides, pudslides, makios, etc time to evolve into what you think they should be.
 
I thought colby west did some really sweet one-footed grinds in wicked, especially on the trap rail at loon. He would go up on one foot then switch up to a regular slide, and it looked really tech and sweet
 
charles gagnier makes them sick. their just another way to grind. if u doon't like them don't do em.
