I just started skiing this year but ive been blading for a little longer. B4 this season the only thing i could do a blades on rails was just a frontside and an occasional top soul. when i started skiing the first day i could hit rails and in a little while do sw 270's on and 270's abd 450's out. Today was my first day back on blades and i thought i would absolutely suck. But i did some sw 270's onto my rail right away. And i just did a sw 270 pretzel. Skiing is deff a helper to blading and vise versa.

they definatly help some. Both improve foot-eye coordination and air sense alot. I started skating and skiing 10 years ago and every year i am able to learn new stuff on skis and skates the first couple weeks of each season

No way man, it would take you like at least 2-3 years of skating to learn all of those tricks and do them consistently on a board.  Skating prob seems easy to you cause its so much like skiing without all the swingweight and skis and poles to get in the way.

i would blade, but i have a dirt driveway and the roads are kinda crappy, can blades handle that kinda thing?
and i hate that wearing a helmet makes you look like a dbag on skates, but breaking you skull sucks

Skiing actually hindered my rollerblading. I've been rolling for about 9 years now and I noticed that not only did skiing screw up my tricks, but since I ride on remz, it's fucked up my riding style. I'm so used to being able to land backseat and catch myself that when i try that rolling I eat shit.
