New ways to slide rails?

I dont really understand where you are getting the idea that every sport should be isolated from each other and that influences from other sports are for some reason not allowed...
 
i dont think its wrong for a sport to be influenced by another a little bit.  grinds in every sport  copy skateboarding cause skateboarding started grinds,  but every sport has their own version of it.   when people see a rollerblade grind, and do the exact same thing on skis, thats not a ski trick, its a rollerblade trick for rollerblades, its not original AT ALL, and just looks like yourreally desperate to do something else but arent creative enough to think of something on your own, and pretty much every single one of them other than mabye a broken looks like complete shit.  really like doing some tweaked grab or crossing your skis on a rail etc. on a rail is just a joke.

we have boards, skiing is a board sport, use them!! stop pretending we dont.  if you want to do rollerblade grinds, honestly buy some snowblades,  it would work so much better on them.
 
I strongly disagree. think about snowboarding's relation to skateboarding. you think that nose presses, tail presses, boardslides, 50-50s, etc. are all completely different sport to sport? simply not true. take away the trucks from a skateboard and the grinds all look the same sport to sport. (there are exceptions of course). skiing can be the same. i think certain "rollerblade" grinds can look sick on skis. brokens, dub brokens, and farfs all look super sick on skis. i agree that some shit looks goofy like one foot with a grab, but shit, even that might progress if given time. oh, and sorry about the weird quoting, it wont let me quote everything you say for some reason haha
 
they arent completely different sport to sport obviously, every sport using boards is gonna have a bunch of similarities, but between them all they all have their own unique style and way to do them.

stuff like brokens can look cool, mostly cause it keeps that "skiing style"  rollerblading definatly has its own style, and skiing has its own style and thats why alot of rollerblade tricks look so out of place and goofy, cause it doesnt look like skiing.  its ok to copy other sports a little, you kinda have to, but when people start just completely copying other sports it gets kinda dumb.
 
the one laurent favre does in skimatic on the fd box where he slides on the side of his hip on the flat and then pops onto his skis on the down...so sick
