from skiboardsonline.com site...
I stumbled upon this article in wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newschool_skiing
"Another rivalry is the ever-present battle between skiiers and snowbladers, skiboarders, or just bladers. Bladers are skiers who use unusually short skis (shorter than 100 cm), and who enjoy blading on bunny slopes and other groomed terrain. Blades hold no advantages over skis, and are looked down as upon by both skiers and snowboarders as lesser, somewhat like a tricycle is looked down on by BMX freestylers and mountain bikers."
I have a Wikipedia account, and I'm going to try to update this text to be non-biased.

Alright I updated the article to something more reasonable. We'll see how long that lasts.
