i like brokens, i think theyre kewl.
another thing you could try would be like a home-base slide on a box, like feet first and then sliding on your side.
im gonna get the crap flamed outta me by all the people who just want to keep to the rail/lip/nose/tailslides but i think it would rock

there is alot you dont know.....just a little info, tanner has never(well done like 2) switchups....know why???? because they are closely related to rollerblading....so if tanner thinks switch ups are close to rollerblading what makes you think he is gunna like people doing 1 footed slides and "broken grinds" two tricks bitten purely from rollerblading.....and read skeeze....PEP has a whole page rant on how gay ganier is for his 1 footed escapades......sorry buddy but you have proved yourself to be retarded on so many levels.

sorry but i dont think pep's rant was necessary at all. gagnier is dope and had the idea to try something new in the biggest contest of the year. i dont give a fuck i like skiing and doing as much as i possibly can on skis. why would i not do something because a couple pros said its "not cool". you just wait i think the things being done on skis in 5 years (let alone just next year) are going to be nuts. think of switch ups no one was doing them until a few years ago and at first i def thought they were lame but as kids learn these tricks and master it, the STYLE comes. if someone does a one footer and makes it look ill, ill def give them props.

and "brokens" if thats what were calling them are def pretty fun 270 out thats where its at.

your defenatly the retarded one buddy... seriously if you look at this: a normal grind IS "bitten" from rollerblading and its called a frontside so are u gonna stop doing those? start a thread about how gay it is, do it.

brokens are dope when done right. theres a guy on here who did one to fs 270 out and it looked soo good. backfoot slides, yeah, i personally dont think gagniers at X looked very good, but there are some peeople that make them look amazing. also, think of just different ways to stand on a rail to give you different styule. everyone rocks the hunched over steeze right now, but like, i love relaxed, just chilling on the rail stuff (ala Heed) and sometimes when i slide a rail ill sit down so it looks like im tailpressing, i think it looks good too.

i tried to think of a better way to say this... but it just looks gay. Its not my opinion its a proven fact. why would u ever want to make your slide look less smooth by dragging your edges?

but the flex you have in skis and rollerblade seperates it

like you can detune and all but you would never really get down like a royal on skates or a farv. on skates

ok park skiing is gay...sure its fun to dabble on a few rails and big jumps but there are so many horrible people(everyone that likes things like broken grinds, 1 footers, switchups and tjs 1440) that skiing the park has become just plain gay....now that comment i made before was to general sorry....i love skiing well i love snowboarding too and snowskating etc...its just thanks to people like ganier and his loyal followers everything cool that people like mik D PEP and tanner spent so long trying to make good and cool as to make skiing not look like rollerblading on snow has just been ruined.

because skating is actually cool buddy....inline is not......thats why it wasnt included in summer X 2005 because its just plain homosexual....i dont want to be affiliated with inline because i, along with the rest of the actionsports world, hate it....go rollerblade all you want buddy your just ruining skiing for the rest of us that dont want to be seen as snow-rollerbladers....

well since the X-games is basically the modern bible, you should love one foot slides since Gagnier won X slope last year with one in his run.

Every one of your posts has become increasingly hippocritical and ridiculous. Tanner doesn't do switchups because rollerbladers can do them? tanner better stop spinning onto or off of rails then, and i guess just stop grinding them as well.

If you're so concerned that skiing is "gay" why don't you quit? I love skiing with all my heart, but you take it too seriously. As much as i love skiing, i know that it doesn't really matter compared to the real issues in the world. Don't let yourself forget that skiing isn't anything holy, it's basically just sliding down a hill on sticks.

they also do switchups. My whole point was that Knotbox said that tanner didn't do switchups because rollerbladers did them, which is ridiculous because rollerbladers do pretty much ever trick we do, other than presses.

you can't have fun skiing unless you do what tanner and pep tell you to do.

also, if you don't ski like tanner or dress like tanner you aren't having fun either. you might think you are, but you are not. tanner said so.

I really think you should relax a bit.

Everyone is talking about how the problem with skiing is NS and all the hate, yet the pro skiers propogate the worst of it.

I mean really, do you want everyone to conform to exactly what pep and tanner do? This would make all skiers simply copycat robots.

Like why not just let people do whatever, and you can have styles you like, and styles you don't like. At least things will be different, and we truly can put the FREE back in Freestyle....

You're just simply being the man trying to get us all down.
