its gay because:
-there are no poles, yet no board to make up for it
-the word 'agressive' is used to describe the sport
-no longer in the x games (my one sarcastic remark)
-it is the gay little brother of an already gay 80s activity
-the tricks are gay
-it is skateboardings retarded cousin
-only emo kids rollerblade
-its gay
-more than 4 wheels
-grind plate--what the fuck, are you a fag?
-think of the concept, ITS GAY
which is why rollerblading is gay, excluding many other reasons! ok i love you!!

so what, you're just admitting that you're gay, which would be okay, buuut you rollerblade, and then say it isnt gay, which is GAY, so rollerblading is gay. and i did watch your intro, IT WAS GAY

and i dont mean to make this into a back and forth insult thread but to put it in perspective, alot of people who dont ski think skiing is gay, so maybe we should all just do it instead of hating everything we dont try

oh help you. idk, it will help you with being gay, but i dont think it could hurt, some people say it helps, others say that it doesnt. i think you should just hibernate during the summer, so you can ski all day and do urbans all night and never get tired. ever!

another example of how retarded you are...

first, u were hating on my friends(sw_steeze) vid, where he was too "gangsta" and insulting pretty much everyone who was confronting you and not giving any reasons whatsoever. Now u are hating on rollerblading and calling it gay... grow the fuck up and learn how to respect other people and their interests

I rollerblade.... been doing it for the last 9 years... I don't rol as hard as I used to anymore though. It will take a while to get used to because the platform on which you stand is not as long as obviously it is with skis. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes fun and you can take the ease that accompanies it and go big.

rollerblading wont make you any better than skateboarding, infact i wouldnt be suprised if skateboarding helped more, since it is pretty much the most technical sport there is, and rails are sooo much harder, it can definatly improve your balance and little tiny muscle movements and might do alot more than rollerblading. ive tried rollerblading and the only realy similaity is that your facing forward, everything else seems alot different.

or mountain bike cause thats always cool, or definatly TRAMPOLINE will help you more than anything, or spin on and off everything you see.
it doesnt really matter too much, rollerblade if you want or skateboard if you want, id suggest skateboarding though just from experience. but if you really want to improve get a trampoline.

rollerblading definatly helps you for airs no doubt, the moves are very similar. you have to be much more precise in your landings cuz there is less stablity becayse skies are longer and bigger.

some grind will definatly help you improve your balance on skis, but most of the grind are not very similar to skiing, ie any soul grind.

and most people who are bagging on rollerblading have probably never rollerbladed in their life or just tried it once, not enough to get fully into it.

basically, borrow a pair from someone or soemthing and try it out first before you buy some.

rollerblading is as technical as it gets, and no one can argue against that. and yes you nut yourself alot depending on what you are going for, nutting on huge drop off rails is pretty freaky plus you cant really "walk it off" - you basically drop to flat with your nuts killing you.

so yeah, jameslovesporn, you are gay indeed, and just because you cant rollerblade, doesnt mean you have to bash it. and how could you say all rollerbladers are emo? there are like, 2 of our guys that wear tight clothes, and maybe you should google Frankie Morales, Brian Aragon, Dre Powell, Rachard Johnson, Julian Bah.

wakeboarding is my substitute, it will help with balance and its fun. More fun than fruitbooting. rollerblading is like gay sodomy, you just dont do it.

Hahahaha, such ignorance. Everything done on skis was done on skates at least three years in advance. Nobody said it is super hard to learn like skateboarding. Why is it stupid, did your snowboard friends tell you that? Did you read it in a new core skateboarding magazine?

I bet everyone who even talks shit on hasn't seen a skate video nor picked up a magazine in years. The shit kids do on skates will blow your mind. It is so burly now. But now it is just sooo cool to hate on it. Heard the sheep, perpetuate the hate!

the funny thing is that you say its gay cause its skateboardings brother and think of skiing what r all the tricks we do um ahhh snowboarding ones skiing is snowboardings and snowboardings is skateboardings so your saying skiing is gay and also the tricks are crazy and more than 4 wheels what the hell does that have to do with it and dynastar have the grind plates too so shut the fuck up cause skateboarding is the one where they are on a rail for 5 feet and then off

right on. but the guy above said skiing is snowboarding? none of the tricks on skis came from snowboarding, you guys just like to call things boardslides and 50-50. thats completely wrong. its frontside and backside.

FUCK YOU...you are so retarded! you basically called skiing gay too.
-skateboarding has 1 board and moves like a snowboard
-the word aggresive is used by other people, not usually people in the sport.
-its not in the x games cuz the x games course doesnt challenge them. rollerblading is a fully urban sport now basically. they dont do pussy shit like skateboarders who go 2 feet off the ground launching off a ramp.
-skiing is the gay little brother of an already gay 80s activity. newschool skiing evolved the same way as rollerblading.
-skiing is snowboardings retarded cousin
-emo kids rollerblade? i beg the differ. i ALWAYS see emo skateboarders who have long hair in their eyes and tight jeans. most rollerbladers are ghetto or just have their own style
-mor ethan 4 wheels? yes, but on each skate there is 4...how does 4 wheels or more make it gay? thats just retarded you gotta be like 12 to come up with somethin like that
-gay gay gay thats all i hear from you...you truely are 12 years old

other points
-rolerblades have liek 2 wheels now basically
-skis are coming out with grind plates
-most of the tricks are the same, and yes rollerbladers did them first so therefore skiing copied them
-alot of the grinds are similar and you can do rollerblade grinds on skis, but you cant do skateboard grinds on skis. that shows how similar skateboarding is to skiing? how so? nope not even close. they share NOTHING in common.
-balancing on a skateboard will NOT help you...totally different. your center of gravity is different and your weight is focused in between the legs. in rollerblading and skiing its under your foot.
-rolerblading is just as techy as skateboarding...you flip a twig in different variations but we spin onto rails liek skiing and move our feet in many different positons and do multiple switchups to any position. theres just so many possibilites just like skateboarding

so i have came to the conclusion that none of you have good points to argue your just biased against rolerblading. also my other conclusion is that skateboarding and skiing share NOTHING in common.

I dont know who james is, and Ive rollerbladed for 5 years, and have a rollerblading cult, and help produce rollerblading films that are famous in the rolling world. so if consider my information on rollerblading innacurate, then there must be something wrong with you.

and what makes you think skiing didnt get their grinds/grabs from rollerblading? same exact concept, center of gravity and weight underfoot, similar slides, similar motion/movements. how is that innacurate?

read the post above, enough said.

if i attacked skateboarding liek that constantly you would get worked up too....and think about this, in skiiing you cant just go out on flat and do cool tricks. i see yoru point where that would be funner on a skateboard but why would you spend your time on flat ground? thats weak. but i can see why in skateboarding.

ya know, they may seem similar, and but, snowboarding and skiing are peers, while rollerblading is just gay, and skateboarding is skateboarding. im sorry if i pissed you guys off, just stating my opinion.
