shit makes skateboarding look safe[/quote]
Come on now, I'm a die hard lollerblader and we know that's not true. 411 911 came out an eternity ago. I'll give you this though, the real issue of rollerblading is that you can't really bail.

No sport is inherently cool, skateboarding is majority posers, I've never been to a skatepark and seen a rollerblader that didn't rip, but I have definitely seen hundreds of skateboarders at the park who don't.
So from actually watching people do it in real life, I think it's cooler because the people doing it are way gnarlier, and the community isn't as watered down and doesn't rely as heavily on trends as others. Also the sport is inherently so much more dangerous so that alone is pretty rad

skateboarding is way harder than rollerblading tho, skateboarding takes longer to master and no skater lands everything. rollerbladers def hit bigger and gnarlier spots than most skaters (unless ur nyjah), but I personally would rather see sean pablo do an impossible over a bench than a rollerblader doing a 540 off a roof. the influence that skating have had on things like fashion or filming is also pretty insane

Ive done both, rollerblading is way harder than skateboarding, the stance alone is so counterintuitive and unnatural
Surprisingly skiing translates better to skateboarding than to inline lol

You should try it, pretty eye opening. I didn't think it was super gnarly either until I bought skates, now I'm pretty confident its the hardest learning curve of any action sport, maybe not the highest ceiling tho.
I think the biggest thing that I noticed is that if you don't land perfectly in position when skating, theres a shit ton of room for error. Just measured my board, the trucks are like 5 inches wide and decks are like 7-8 inches wide, with like 13-14 inches in between your sets of trucks, so in every dimension you have inches to work with. In blading you can't land on a rail with any error otherwise your wheels catch and you literally eat shit and die. You also can't bail on skates, you also can't land forward or backseat at all, so unless you played ice hockey or street hockey its not easy to learn at all. The balance from skiing has pretty much 0 translation except for grinds which are really hard to even just lock into.

These all seem like great reasons to skateboard instead

i think it’s just personal… rollerblading is fucking easy but i did it from like 8-15 so i have a lot of that muscle memory in me. soul, top acid, mizou, all that shit is basically the same thing when you learn to machia and fish. i could even flair in vert and slide some bigger handrails.
not the case for skateboarding. i started that at 15 (now 27) when i realized rollerblading is for monster drinking zipperheads (exception: franky morales). it took me 2 years to fucking kickflip and bet your ass i’ve never dropped in vert or hit a handrail.
if you’re struggling balancing on rollerblades, stance your feet a bit (left in front of right)… like i said shits easy

I just bought a SICK pair of top of the line $700 hockey inline skates. Got em for $220.
Took my GF to a roller rink and was basically doing curls with her bc shes from Africa and has never skated. I only had the huge wheel speed roller blades for going like a bicycle that are a bitch to maneuver on hills and have no support will be sick to have these for taking the dog. Wheels look reasonable too I'll get a few pairs to switch up.
Any recommendations for keeping sand out of the bearings? I live next to the ocean so its gonna happen and I'll need to clean them.

Just watched the whole video, some clips I thought were kinda funny like the ones were they fall into a river. But some made me question the entire human race.
