It helps a lot. The transition from skiing into rollerblading is a lot harder than the transition from rollerblading to skiing. When I first began skiing I thought everything was easy. Shit, landing on a 6 foot platform versue a 1 foot one was heaven. After skiing for a season, and going back to rollerblading, I couldn't land shit. Skiing felt like cheating... and still does.

Ive been skating since i was like 7, thats why i switched from snowboarding to skiing 2 seasons ago. Urban feels so much more natural. Its still a lot different, but i bet it would help with you balance and other fundamentals.

Skates are hella $$. I dont think i wanna spend that much on them but still looks sick. I think it's gonna make a comeback.

rollin kicks ass, i think it helps with skiing. it is harder to land but easyer to do tricks so it works out pretty good for practice.
you should join the aggessive inline cult, if you like blading.

Rollerwarehouse.com has great deals on stuff for blading. I don't skate half as much as I used to but it's still fun, I do need to invest in some good pads though now that I'm past the quarter century mark. Watch out peoples that concrete is hard shit.

Just go to rollerwarehouse and poke around, I got trs downtowns which are Rollerblade brand. They aren't the hottest new company but they are tried and true, they'll get the job done and mine cost like 150. I guess you could hunt down a used pair somewhere, actually look here in ski equipment I think I saw some quitters in there selling their blades.

I'm a firm believer that if your not that good you don't need good shit, I used to hate seeing kids who could barely skate with brand new expensive top end shit.

It will make your legs wicked strong though, when I was younger and bladed everyday my legs never EVER got tired when I was skiing. Now I'm a little older.

do skates run the same size as shoes or ski boots? And if they do, does anyone on here have a decent pair in 9.5 or 10. My friends that snowboard skate alot, and i am trying to learn it, I can see how it would help with rails.
