hey and you know what we should just start roller blading in the winter cause guess what, thats what its turning into with that sort of stuff, but when it comes to making a new grind try and do things that only skiers can do and that cant be done in any other sport, like rollerblading.

I like it. Whenever I do it though it always catches an edge. But I like one foot grinds, those are hard, and fun.

none of the shit discussed here is gay its innovative, and unless you are all pros and can do them really well then you really don't have much to say

wait im confused, are you talkin about the charlie chaplin where he has one ski face one way and one the other, or when he drags the inside boot of his back foot, they are both steezed to hell, but i like the second one better.

i reckon it looks sick - that one he did over the rainbow at tignes looked wicked - totally low and steezed. its fuckin hard to do tho, and i bet it fucks the edge on your back ski.

and single foot grinds look shit, no matter how tec tey might be.

Think about it though. Snowboard tricks are all names of skateboard tricks too...

Its kinda fitting if you do the same with skis.

Either way, I dont want skiing confused with rollerblading. Skiboarding on the otherhand...

yeah ROLLERBLADING is dope...we should just switch back to snowblades and do as many switch ups as possible followed by these dragging "grinds*" adn the do 1 foot "grinds*"....gosh skiing is getting cooler by the second.


* Saying grind is really gay i hate you all.
