What do you guys think of grinds where you cross your skis or any other rail variations? (one footers, 50-50s, etc.)

Fuck that, it is inevitable that 'rollerblade style' will influence skiing, either directly or not. People are going to start doing different things because they get bored, which include (gasp) one-footed 'rollerblade' jibs. It's called progression, it happens, we want it to happen, otherwise our sport will get stale and die.

i don't think it looks that tight. it's hard, and i can respect that people are doing it, i just don't think it looks good.

one footers and 50-50s are ok, but those X-grinds and edgegrinds look awfull I think, they shouldn't be done.



Freeskiing is a lifestyle, and true skiers are the ones who live this lifestyle, not the ones who follow it.

I'm down with whatever is new, different, and more difficult than whatever you just did the last time...I don't know if that's the same for everybody else though. I posted a pic of my good buddy doing what he calls a soul (or is it sole, I don't know rollerblading) grind, and the only feedback I got was a bunch of jerkoffs hatin on him because his skis aren't 90 degrees perpendicular to the fuckin rail. Personally, if I saw somebody doin' X grinds or whatever, I'd be impressed that they're doing something more than just a regular grind. Check out the pic 'Rob's rail variation' or something like that in the pics section, and hopefully quit hatin on him.

'it'sinevitable that 'rollerblade style' will influence skiing, either directly or not. People are going to start doing different things because they get bored'

once you can do 270 up to 450 then do it unnatural on rails, then switch, then switch unntty, and same for off.
one your done all those combo; go put a line sould grind playe on your skis, and the majority of people 'might' take you seruosly.
i have no idea how you can get bored and end up teying, X up grinds.... wtf?

Iannick B's been doing mad one footed grinds (fastslides I think they're called?) for a while now and they look pretty dope, don't know if I'm down with this cross action though, I'll have to see it.

kev, in case you haven't noticed, it doesn't matter how many spins you can throw on and off a rail and whether you can do it unnatural or not, it still looks like the same fucking trick. Not saying that it is not respectable, but for variety it just doesn't do much.

i think 5050 is cool...altho its funny when u do a rail 5050 and some kid in the park is like 'u suck, cant you do it sideways?' i had that happen b4. i think torque (slide front foot, grab back) looks sweet on rainbows...royale (opposite of torque) not as much. straigh one footers are ok. nose and tail presses are the shit. i wanna see a switch 5050
