i just started agressive inline a few days ago and couldn't figure out why i could land switch. when i'd do 180's i'd always loop out and land on my face. after a while i figured i'd try an unnatural 180, and BAM, i could do them perfect. i'm actually pretty stoked on the fact that on blades to land switch i'll have to spin unnatural because i think as soon as winter comes i'll be able to do shit unnatural on skis alot easier. has anyone else who blades had this issue and did it help your skiing?

Here, i need to explain myself. Comparing rollerblading to skateboading on rails is like comparing snowskating to skiing on rails. You are not going to do an urban 7 kink or whatever on a snowskate. Its even more blown out of proportion when you compare rollerblading to skateboarding. On rollerblades you have grooves to lock into rails and you can constantly adjust on rails, you can even adjust speed (as can be seen on the 34 kink rail). I have respect for rollerblading too, but to say rollerbladers are better than skateboarders because they do longer rails is way off. The level of skateboarding from a technical standpoint is much higher than that of rollerblading (which may be attributed to the amound of people who skateboard compared to those who rollerblade, which results in a much deeper talent pool.)

Im not harshing on rollerblading at all, as i said earlier i have total respect for it.

Oh, and marc johnson 50-50ed the S rail on a skateboard that travis redd just barley missed in high five, but im sure rollerbladers could tripple royal tapdance down that first try.

ok to that people comparing skateboarding and blading. You have to olie on a skate think about it. You dont just jump up and sit on a rail, you have to make a board jump.

I dont hate bladers i just dont like the style, and i dont like people saying skateboarding is pussy.

^u can. I kinda agree with Ace of Spades. yeah the blades do have the grooves and u can lock onto the rail and u wont slip all ova the place. but if u think about it, the board has a lot more surface area then the grooves do
