Inline skaters have more skill than skiers

i think the main problem is that street rollerblading is much gayer than park rollerblading

park rollerblading is really sick. Most american rollerbladers have shitty style too, european rollerbladers have much better style, exception haffey

what your tryin to say is ridiculous. Just cuz an inliner can do 630 on doesnt mean that skiers should be able to. Skaters have nuthin on there feet. we have things the legth of our bodies, often taller. If you wanna continue on this point you could say figure skaters can do 1080s on the ground and skiers cant so figure skaters are better. its stupid and makes no sense
 
yes i hate when people just say if u suk at park u suk at skiing im not good at park but i slay at pow at trees i hate when i get heckled by bitches on the chair lift just because im not good at park
 
wow seriously, I know you're not 14 but you sure act like it, its really fucking stupid saying shit without really proving your point. I'm not just talking about this one thread, usually when you disagree all you have to say is you're gay or you're stupid or what are you 8 yrs old? seriously if you really disagree with something and it bothers you that much that you take your time to post something saying like "you're retarded" because you don't agree with me or because you're not cool, at least prove your point. I'm sick of seeing so many poinless stupid posts from you.

and i think he's just comparing park skiing to inline, if it were skiing over all then i disagree, there's more to skiing that just sliding rails.

 
NO FUCKING SHIT THEY CAN SPIN 630 ON, THEY HAVE LITTLE FUCKING NOTCHES, IT TAKES A LOT MORE FUCKING SKILL TO HOLD A GODDAMN EDGE, OR EVEN SPIN WITH SKIS IN TOTAL CONTROL THAN ROLLERSKATING YOU DUMB FAG

now stop trying to fucking compare apples and orange you useless fuck.
 
I have to completly disagree with you. I ski and skate and skiing rails is a lot easier then inline rails. And you must of not noticed the word "Handrail". With the switch 630 it was on to a handrail which in height would be above most peoples waist which I doubt you would be able to even jump onto let alone do any spin onto. Aslo with rollerblading you have to land in the groove which is about an inch wide so there is not a lot of room for error. Skiing you have the whole ski to land on. I can 270 onto rails both skiing and inline and I can assure you inline is much more difficult. So it looks like you have no idea what you are talking about and to make your self look "tough" to all your little internet buddies you full your comment with insults instead of logical points. And no hating please Hendrik. I'm not judging you just on this comment; I am sure we can still become good friend on NS. Also this has nothing to do with comparing apples and oranges. Its actually skiing and rollerblading. And please no hating on my thread. Nice to hear you oppion.

 
this shit is rediculously funny, yet i find somewhat relevant.

inline skating's dope! i've never really understood why it gets a bad rep...probably originated as hate from skateboarders.

nevertheless, inliner222 you should've specified in the start the similarities to FREESTYLE skiing. i imagine you don't live around good mountains. skiing encompasses so much more than freestyle, and that, young "noob" (pardon my french), is why you are looking so foolish in the first place.

here's a good example, someone should embed these.
=related

i would say give u -karma points for your ignorance, but since its the end of the ski season, and i've gotten so fucking much pow in that you know nothing about apparently, i'll abstain.

so yeah, future my ass. enjoy the upcoming skate season.

 
so, its funny the only part you really commented on was the notches... you also realize you have the whole side of the skate next to the wheels as well, with which you can easily lock on as well...

as for the rail being waist height... um, ok, sweet... the street style down rail at breck is above my waist too...we hit that.

and also you obviously have a very limited understanding or education of/in the english language as you obviously didn't understand my metaphor of comparing apples and oranges - they're not the same, and they can't be compared.

as for being your friend - no.
 
the kids i see at the skatepark have like a big notch that goes the length of the rollerblades and there is one wheel in front and one in back, and i see them 270ing onto big handrails like its nothing, sometimes even 450's shit like that would never be possible from flat on skis. skiing and rollerblading are very very different, if you want to compare a sport similar to skiing compare it to snowboarding.

i played roller hockey for like 5 years and even did some freestyle stuff for awhile before i started skateboarding, and skiing and blading are totally different, with skis you have boards on snow, with rollerblading you have shoes with wheels, the only similarity is that we both face forward.
 
Those bomb drops look really painful.

And why don't bladers care about arm position? Someone earlier said that bladers don't keep their hands at their sides cause it'd "look stupid"... but I don't see how it would look any "stupider" than keep your arms in control on skis.

Maybe blading just developed a different notion of "stylish" that I don't really understand cause I've never tried to do it?

 
idk about skill but skiers got nothing on inline steez. pro inliners are way more steezy than pro skiers. helmets for instance inliners don't really rock em. inliners hit crazy gnarly wall rides, gaps, switch ups on sketchy rails ledges etc. all on hard concrete at high speeds were the consequences of hitting your head would be bad!!! and doing it w/o a helmet makes it way more g and stylie. yeah dude was a dope movie with real cool segments like the calgary and nebraska jibs but it was gayafied by the salad bowls some of the riders chose to wear on their heads, so wack. and in general inliners are in the street, and all the ill fashion trends start in the street at least most of em. this coming from a relatively long time skateboarder. hate away.
 
Wearing or not wearing a helmet doesn't make something any more or less steezy IMO. When it goes wrong though, the ones who do wear helmets will be glad when they're around to try again some other time.
 
Skiing is not only park. Your forgetting the rest of skiing. I think shredding down a steep exposed face with rocks showing and dropping cliffs takes much more skill then spinning to win onto handrails with little wheels on your feet.




 
I really dont have too much to say in this argument... I am not a huge fan of skating... its just not my thing, however I do respect what they do and there is no question that they are all talented at what they do. The only think that I feel I need to add is that there is a recurring theme here regarding the the switch 630 that some skater did to rail and all I have to say to that is: Candide. in Wha'ppenin he does a HUGE switch 630 disaster on like a 50ish foot gap. He also did the cork 810 to rail before that... one more time OFF AXIS 810 to rail over a 60 foot gap. And then theres Corey Vanular doing a Flat 810 to rail and rodeos to rail in Long Story Short. So dont go knocking skiing for lack of technicality in that respect. And keep in mind all of those were done with huge amounts of style and had grabs. I havent seen the vid of the skating 630 to rail but based on what I have seen thus far I doubt that they did it with that kind of style.
 
i'll pay for a helicoptor to drop a couple of your favorite professional inline skaters on top of a mountain (with their little fruit boots)

you can pay for the heli-evac

 
why are we hating? just an opinion guys,

i agree with the main message of this thread, which is that skiing is getting much more tech, inline skating and skiing are a lot alike, newschool inline has been around a lot longer so it has had time to go through the same kinda stages that our sport has gone through, like getting super tech. this guy is just comparing the sports. i love skiing, but other sports that take sooo much skill and balls like inline get my respect too.
 
i think inline skating is cool but its just like on your feet. its like jumping in your shoes. and its way easier to lock on to rails. on skis, skis are long and are haverier than skates. so its like jumping around in your shoes. skiing is harder i think because skis are long and havery. are you got ski boots too.
 
you should totally think your argument before you type it out. that is like saying track running is like nascar.

they both run around an oval turning left. except nascar has cars, it's on asphalt, there are more laps, there are pit stops, the top "athletes" are predominantly white instead of black and they wear helmets. and no hating please
 
ok.. in the end, inline skating may have influenced us a bit.. but we influenced them more. and i dont give a shit about how technical a trick is. if it doesnt look good, it sucks

STYLE IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

even if skateboarding doesnt have style either, i dont give a shit cuz its way doper than inline.
 
yeah it influenced park skiing a little ,but it didn't totally influence every part of park skiing. It influenced rail slides for sure, but not really jumps. There a different things going on with jumps on blades and skis. There is a whole different aspect of skiing that has absolutely nothing to do with inlining at all. You can't just generalize skiing to that one part. So no inliners do not have more skill.
 
YOU STARTED HATING FIRST YOU FUCKHEAD.

AND SKIING AND SKATING ARE TOTALY DIFFERENT OTHER THAN CERTAIN HARDLY SIMILAR CONCEPTS.

and by the way i am a skater as well. and i still say fuck you.
 
wow your a dumbass. thats like comparing curling to eating food. THERE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. and i dont know know about you, but inline skates are like skate skiis, FOR RETARDS AND EMO JAPANESE IN JEANS.
 
You're the Ryan Sheckler of rollerskating, you're making the sport look bad

since i have dial-up, i don't feel like looking for the video, but search rollerskater crashes on you tube. this kid gets ran over by a car after coming off of a rail.

from now on, if anybofdy mentions rollreblading, that's what i think of.
 
those switch 10 had no style at all, no grab, not even a tuck, just straight up penciled. there pro skiers that can do switch 12s with high nose and a legit styly grab (hatviet). you have to realize that when bladers do grab it takes no skill and just looks wierd in most acations. Also when they land there hands are often draging all over the place and they just revert right after hitting the ground on most landings. some of the stuff is sick and it does take skill but not nearly as much as skiing. and with rails skiers have a 2.5 foot extention coming out the side of each foot to lots of the ballet shit isnt even possible. we also have flips on and and corks and crazy shit out like on the cannon or in realtime park shoots. + half of the rollerblading community is emo and theres only a few steezy peeps like frankie morales
 
being good at rollerblading is like being good on snow blades... no one cares because its soo fucking easy. they can spin fast because they weigh next to nothing and they have huge things in the middle to lock onto grinds. rollerblading is simple, and while somewhat like skiing in the sense that both your feet are free to move around, skiing is much more difficult and innovative, and its actually a sport, in the mountains instead of on some street corner.
