There's a pic in freeskier this month of a guy doing a one ski slide on a round rail and then just has the other ski up in the air over the other one. If you get off balance though your chances of reproducing will go to nil.

It would be so cool if you could come in switch to a box switch, zero on to it and do a nose press the whole way only on ur tips, completely blind the whole time.

yea but style can only progress so far.  Watch some footy on NS.  Its all the same shit.  270 on, switch up, 270 out.  plus or minus some rotations.  Skiing needs to progress and these new grinds push us in an innovative direction.  New tricks can still look stylish.  Why don't you hope skiing doesn't loose style and hate on bad style rather then hate on new tricks.

rollerblade grinds are never gonna catch on, they just simply dont work for skiing,  like yeah you can cross your skis on a box but shit that just looks retarded.  it hardly takes any more skill than doing the box normal. its kinda like when you see people hit a 30 footer and do a straight air with a totally rad tweaked mute grab or something cause its a tiny bit  "harder" so it must be better,  and ride away like they are all hardcore.  thats the type of stuff you do when your goofing off and TRYING to be gay, like on gaper day.
shit like presses, taps, crooks, and butters on and off is whats gonna progress on rails,  so far its just been about spinning like crazy, and we have just started to progress with the stuff i mentioned.  
and with they way ski designs are changing its gonna make it alot eaiser to do.

that grind isnt even that cool on rollerblades, on skis it would be even worse.  honestly if i saw some skier lift up their ski and grab it like that i would just laugh.  its just so out of place on skis, its one of those things where you can tell you are just trying to do something with no concern for how it actually looks.  like doing as many grabs as tweaked as you can on a straight air, or spinning a 9 on a 5 foot jump thinking your a badass. that type of stuff doesnt work for skiing.  skiing is about being technical, but more than anything, being smooth, cause i think we can all agree that without style, skiing looks pretty horrible. and thats whats so cool about skiing, style is more important in skiing than pretty much any other sport.

What are you talking about, torques are all anyone ever does anymore... and let's not get into this whole debate of why rollerblade grinds shouldn't transfer over to skiing. It's getting old. We get it, all you purists (who possibly skateboard) don't want to see it; gee, I wonder why. However, there are some of us who are getting bored with the current repertoire of trick vocabulary. To each their own.

whats funny is that theres a good chance that everyone hating on new ways to grind probably doesnt use poles.
