Inline skaters have more skill than skiers

Well......
I think inline skating is where the future of skiing is going. If you look youtube at the stuff the inline skaters are doing today the tricks are far more complex and technical then any of the ski tricks. and they also look waaaaaay more steezy. Also in the pipe inliners are doing way better stuff then skiiers... they have been doing double flatspins for ages also this guy been doing backflip to 360 to backflip in one jump. then there is the rails.... chris haffy does switch 630's onto handrails and then there is all the compicated grinds which you need to be very skilled to be able to do. Some pro inliners skied for a week and were doin cab 7s and 9s over 60ft+ tables. and when all guys hate on inliners for having no steeze look up chris haffey or brian aragon on youtube. i think overall pro inliners have a lot more skill then pro skiers.

I think inlining has mad potential and could be sick. I'm gonna be doing it this summer.

But it's unforunate that all the pros don't seem to give a shit about steeze.

I agree. And also, pro basketball players are also more steezy and technical. The ability to even shoot freethrows under the pressure of five opposing players is a superior ability to ski in front of a crowd that is cheering for you. 720 dunks? No problem. I've only seen one skier ever try to dunk with skis on, and there was no spinning involved. Most basketball players have a higher vertical jump than almost all skiers can ollie. And they're taller than skiers. Tallness = steeze. Watch out Tanner/Pollard/Jon/Dumont/etc, when Kobe puts on a pair of skis, you're all done for.

comparing blading styleto skiing is rediculous.  So they don't keep their arms pinned to their sides while doing tricks like skiers?  That would look rediculous.  Skateboarders also don't keep their arms at their sides while trying to move as little as possible, but nobody says their "flapping like toucan sam".

They're different that's all.

anyone that thinks skiing is comparable to inline or for that matter, inline is harder/better/more skill involved, is fucking retarded. People, your backyard rail set ups which you are so vigorously trying to learn those pretzel combinations IS NOT SKIING!!!!!! Well, its barely skiing. Ive seen alot of these "where skiing is going threads" and if rails are what u little kids want skiing to become thats sad. I ski at pc and the tricks that can go down with everyone feeding off each are amazing, but when a storm rolls through going to the rock gardens at brighton, of like yesterday, 18 inches of fresh at alta, puts it all in perspective. this may seem unfair to people who live far from pow, mountains, etc, but i dont care! u east coasters may ruin skiing with this rail mentality. skiing=mountains, not terrain parks. for perspective, im originally from the midwest and skiing urbans and shitty park is all i had, except for the once a year ski trip.

alright i'll try and make this a hate free post...

first of all... the only similarity between skiing and rollerblading is that you are strapped into two independently mobile boots. thats where the similarities end. sure you can do some of the same spins and flips and stuff but rail tricks are completely different, mainly because rollerblades have a "grind plate" that allows you to lock into a rail, skis are flat and its way harder to balance on rails on skis.

second, skiing is so much more than hitting park jumps and sliding rails... how about epic pow days and BC lines and cliff drops.

third, i agree that skiing looks way smoother and more stylish, not to mention more technically difficult to learn. like all those balet grind tricks... even those skiers trying to do that sort of shit on skis... it all looks retarded. i'd much rather see a pretzel on skis than any of the stuff in those videos.

fourth, grabs. do i have to say any more? grabs on skis look fucking sick especially blunts, tip grabs, octo grabs, double grabs, etc. and grabs on rollerblades are well... boot grabs.

fifth, how come no one has brought up skateboarding in this thread yet. you want to talk about style and technical tricks skateboarding makes rollerblading look extremely gay. for the simple fact that you are riding a board that isn't attached to your feet in any way and you can do all sorts of crazy flip tricks. skateboarding is on a whole other technical level compared to all other "extreme" sports.

sixth, amplitude. skiers hit waaaaay bigger jumps, go higher in the halfpipe, and you're talking about switch 630s onto rails... did everyone forget about candides cork 810 to rail? lets see a rollerblader try that.

now if you want to rollerblade and think it helps your skiing then by all means have fun. just don't try and come on to ns and argue that its better than skiing. thats complete crap. personally my respect for extreme sports goes in the following ranking:

1. skateboarding
2. skiing
3. snowboarding
4. surfing
5. bmx
6. mountain biking
7. wakeboarding
8. sky diving/ base jumping
9. mountaineering/ rock climbing
10. rollerblading
11. scootering

um yeah, they do tricks sorta like what skiiers do but the do them on the same sort of stuff skateboarders use. i.e, have you seen rock adio? you know the kf melon over the barrier thats like the best trick in the film? bladers have done mistys over that barier. i don't know what you mean.

this is almost as worthless as the 2008 election.
i've seen down syndrome children have more intelligent discussions.
people have their own opinions.
my suggestion: don't say anything is better than anything else or you will get ripped a new one.
everything is cool in its own way, has its own type of steeze, blah bla blah.


oh and the dude that started this is freakin garbage.

now i disagree with the thread creator, but mad props to inline skaters, goin big on concrete and stuff

theres no way u can deny that the 2 sports are on similar, the only differences are

skiing = winter, inline= sumer
skiing - snow  , inline - concrete
skiing- long boards  inline- skates
grabs and railslides are different too


obvious reasons why theyre similar to me.... feet are separated and indepedent of achother, forward and switch riding, spins, railslides, urban....

skiing is skiing, doesn't matter where you do it or what you do it on, there's no need to narrow it down to one discipline like powder/big mountain that's just being closed minded for no reason. Back east I used to ski down grass and leafs when it rained, and hell yea I called it skiing.

Pics or it didnt happen

You really cannot compare inline to skiing, its pretty much impossible to spin as fast as inliners.

to anyone that has raised an argument in this thread i feel sorry for how bored you must be right now.. its obvious that the thread creator is just trying to create controversy (and if you didnt make that connection after seeing his post count then you are stupid), so why are you all arguing with each other??

so please, save yourselves before you make skiers and rollerbladers look like ignorant pieces of shit.


I IMPLORE A MODERATOR TO DELTE THIS THREAD AND PUT AN END TO THE IGNORANCE THAT IS THIS THREAD.

the simple fact is that rollerbladers will never be able to convince non-rollerbladers that inline is cool, stylish, technical, etc. ive been rollerblading and skiing for years and i fail to understand why people need to make such a point to try and prove that inline is so much cooler or harder than other sports. if you like skating then just skate, who cares if people think its cool or not. the styles in both inline and skiing are just different, skiers understand what style is in skiing and rollerbladers understand what style is in rollerblading, there is no need to have one universally accepted style.

its retarded to come onto a skiing site and try to make an argument about how skiing sucks compared to rollerblading. do you really expect people on this site to agree with you? even being a rollerblader myself i find your posts to be extremely ignorant.

always?, maybe to fucktards that are 9 that come on to a ski forum just to be an ass and create a dilemma.

Rollerblading is its own sport separate in every way from skiing. Rollerblading is right in there with figure skating, so next time you come on the internet go post your idiotic ideas somewhere else.

Get out of the park and go SKI!

umm has anybody heard off female ski icon KAYA TURSKI.. believe it or not she was a pro aggressive skater before she went pro on the ski scene.. so dont hate on them.. my opinion is that when skiing and skating can be compared skiing wins in the steeze department but bladers technicallity on rails is amazing... nobody can deny that
