What are your thoughts? I think they may just ruin skiing

then keep doing your boring stagnant grinds, and leave the progression to the rest of us.

ruin skiing? i think you're overreacting a little bit. i like em for the most part though. cept that one where one tip is pointed one way, and the other is point the other, but that's not a rollerblading grind anyway, even they think its gay. So i'm not worried about it.

Ruin skiing?

So you mean that if someone does a rollerblade grind on skis, then all snow on the ground will miraculously evaporate, chairlift cables worldwide will simultaneously snap, and the feeling of skiing will become a nauseating experience for anyone who tries it?

Maybe you should start a movement to create a vast army of soldiers who will take up sentry position at every known rail in existence, and they can interview anyone intending to hit those rails in advance about which grind they will be performing to ensure that it meets your approval, thus averting such a disastrous outcome.

Really, please do it because I love skiing and would hate to see it get ruined.

I don't think it will ruin skiing, i do think it looks like shit when someone does one. Depends on everbody's personal opinions.

I would have to disagree. I rollerbladed for about 4 years when I was younger. It really helped with skiing park, especially rails and riding backwards. Spinning on skis, and riding terrain is completely different though. As far as rollerblading grinds on skis goes, I think its really sick. Id like to see you do a unity on your skis. I couldnt Id die. Stop worrying about little things like this that arent important. Focus on yourself for once and stop bringing down othere peoples attempt to progress our sport. You sound like the old men at my mtn who give me dirty looks, because I like to ski runs backwards and wear baggier clothes. Personally I think your post is a waste of my time, and Im done responding.

I love doing them. My skier friends don't like them but the snowboarders think they are cool, along with my rollerblade friends. I personaly think they are pretty schnazzy.
(which is a sweatstance, a little kid asked me to do my shnazzy trick so I named the trick the schnazzy, hope it catches on)

exactly. that like say doing switchups or spinning onto rails will ruin skiing. people like gagnier are doing new things and progressing the sport. how is that a bad thing?

Gagnier is fucking amazing, the shit he does is so crazy. He has to have some sort of influence from rollerblading.

i dont really like rollerblade grinds on skis, because i dont really like the rollerbladers ive met. they seem to be tools, who always get in the way at skateparks and stuff, but im not a hater. ppl can do them if the want. they look hard tho and im afraid of twisting my knees.

it looks stupid because it isnt aesthetically pleasing. the most accepted concept of style  is something difficult that is done to look like its easy....... faggot
