it is the worst looking sport ever. and every snowblader ive ever seen or riden up the lift with or somethin is a huge fag. snowblading is just very very very gay.
personally i think it just makes skiing look cooler in comparison. i have nothing agaisnt snowbladers. Unless they talk shit to me, then ill gauge their eyes out with a toothpick.
looking at them, and being amazed at how they don't fall face first when the try and go into powder... and def how when the go off jumps they can roll down the hugest windows...
I dont think we should hate on them. Tons of great skiers now, started on them or rode them for a while. I used em, but I gave them up cause I just didnt want to anymore. But great riders like Pollard, Mike Nick, and others have used them. Does that make them gay too?
^ actually, i think skiing down on your boots is cooler than snowblading... park monkey Ben at my mountain regularly grinds boxes with just ski boots, and it's gnar.
prolly cuz most of them are fucktards that can actually handle ski so they buy blades and think theyr the shit with their hands hanging at their sides and goin really slow
because they're different than we are and we're supposed to hate stuff that's different than us. Why do you think we hate blacks, snowboarders, or politicans?
cuz they go too slow -all the ones that i have talked to said "they just didnt like skiing" translation: "it was scary and fast and hard. so i do this instead."
i dont think its the fact that people hate so much snowblades. its just normally the people who do it are simply the peole who arnt good enough to ski with any style. or they are hockey player who think it looks cool. and the majority of the time they arnt aware of it is desrecpeted by anyone who has any mountain awareness. In there minds its the cool alternative to skiing. but as you all kinow they are full of shit, and they limit there selves to jumps and groomed runs.
snowblading? ... "stylier"... thats funny. you can't even possibly be smooth on blades. landings are so much harder, and it looks just plain stupid when you try to keep your balance on rails. Even skiing in general looks terrible because its almost like you're stiff as a board trying to carve.
Not to mention blades are the most dangerous things on the slopes. I've seen so many people break legs and tear ACLs on those pieces of shit.
