dude i skate, i think it is quite difficult, but fuck biking bails are also just as hard man, and the shit some of them can pull, skateboarding is hard becuase there is a technical sense to it and requires you to have better coordination, but biking is still very difficult, and i imagine rollerblading is

Skateboarding is probably harder than rollerblading, just a little, but look at how hard rollerbladers push their sport compared to skateboarders, Im not talking about the pro level but like the amateur level, like any skatepark or skatespot. Usually at a park its the rollerbladers that are doing the most technical, bigger tricks. At this one skatepark at any one time you will see the best skateboarder doing grabs off the launch, grinding small handrails, maybe doin a boardslide on the big one, some tech flippy tricks and a few grinds on the mini. Many of the rollebladers will be seen doin fakie flatspins over the launch, spins into crazy grinds and switch-ups on the big handrail, fakie 450s into some crazy grind over a gap and really fast/smooth tech grinds involving many awckward positions and switch ups, spinning into and out of the grinds. Bmxers there usually dominate the park in number but their best shit is usually a tailwhip. This happens all over, pretty much wherever you go, unless you get the odd pro comin to session. A few weeks ago at another park some rollerblader dropped a 17ft halfpipe onto concrete, the rest of them were doing insane tricks involving a lot of air, gaps, spins and everything else, just stepping it up and doing some stuff that anyone would likely be impressed to see. The skateboarders were doin fakie boardslides 180 off on a thigh high rail. I dont know if its somethin like skateboarders and bikers are scared to take it to the next level or what, but rollerbladers always seem to do the biggest, techiest and most impressive stuff. Im not being biassed towards any of the above sports but thats just how it is usually at any given park/skate spot.

i was shooting at a skate-park this weekend and since i can´t ski much this season i figured maybe i should pick up skating. it´s pretty much the same thing as skiing(except for yeh it´s snowboarding) the halfpipe and helps a lot with the coordination i guess.
i have never been rollerblading but i´ve played hockey and i can say that a 360 on ice-skates is easy so it must be pretty easy on rollerblades too. but on a skateboard or bike, that seem to be another thing.
i kinda don´t think rollerblading looks to cool. it´s like running arund grabbing your shoes, but that´s just me. but it seems a lot easier so i dont know what to choose. guess i´ll just try it all.

rollerbladers pull off fooking insane stuff.... i think that there was a post with all of those negative miko to backflip or whatever you call it. its sorta like skiing and snowlerblading: its alot easier to spin n stuff.
like in the video they were doing insane shit that skaters could only dream of

rollerbladers can do so many different kinds of grinds and switchups, and they can go huge out of pipes and off tables and stuff. theyre so technical, and its almost never sketchy.
skateboarders can do some amazing stuff, and it takes a lot of practice to do the stuff they do.
BMXers and moto-x ppl can do some amazing stuff to throw something as big as a bike around in mid air.

rollerblading is easier to learn, but consequently, you can push it farther since its easier to get the basics down. anyone who thinks it looks dumb should get their hands on a sk8 vid made in the last few years, its so incredably insane, they take it to like the level of an art form

okay, here is the thing.
Skateboarding is so hard because you have to be well coordinated to do ollie hand to make all the tricks.
rollerblading is hard cause the tricks are insane.
and bmx is prolly the harder cause the tricks are totally nuts and that you need coordination too.

Well, here goes another one:
Skating= hard (ollies=hard)
Bicycle Moto Cross= hard (but differnet than skating becuase the airs are much bigger. Dropping a set of stairs isn't as hard on a bike compared to a skate. I think.
Fruitbooting= gay. jk bros. I'm quessing that it's the easist, but it'll be easilier to do REALLY sick things (like BMX compared to skating I think)
I don't do any of the above sports, but I do 'freeride' mountain bike, so that's like BMX.
Skate= small air
rollerblade= medium air
BMX=big air
mtn=bigger air

Good point ski2824. Its not hard to go out and skate around, or even drop in and do a backstall or a simple grind. But when you are going mach 10, launch a 5ft gap, spin 300some degrees, land backwards on the coping of a mini and slide it all smooth like for 20some feet...that takes some skill.

Yeah, but can they air fom a road to a ditch? 15-20ft+? When it come to sheer possible size, I belive that BMXers can do bigger street stuff. Halfpipe, its all the same.
