Skating REALLY? helps with ski'ing?

[Jib-Ninja]

Ok, so i see a few people who ski that do fruitbooting/rollerblading/inline/skating..whatever you want to call it. Does this actually help you with ski'ing. Is it worth buying a pair of skates?

it def. helps with balance and coordination

 

[BootySpunk.]

Yes. Helps with balance so much and is fun and something to do in the off season.

im about to it looks pretty fun

 

[Jib-Ninja]

Well, skateboarding helps with balance too.....but would inline skating be more beneficial?

 

[Detroit_Steeze]

i would think so because its kind of the same type of grinding and riding etc.But not the exact same.

Skiing is the only reason I can ice skate/rollerblade. I just rollerblade for fitness, but it helps keep those skiing muscles fresh and it is the only similar thing I can do to get the same rush.
