Rollerblade or Snowboard?

People have been posting alot about hating on or loving different rail tricks. While lots of skiers will claim to take from both, everyone leans more towards one sport. Where do you take most of your rail tricks from, rollerblading (royales, fast slides) or snowboarding (butters, nose/tailslides).

I prefer snowboarding style slides.

i think trick wise itself from snowboarding but my gameplan toward rails and figuring out and getting my balance comes from rollerblading. its good to take a lil bit from each sport to help evolve or breakground for skiing

Mainly snowboarding.. or skateboarding if you want to go right to the roots.
Rollerblading tricks like fast slides look sketchy and out of control where as tricks like presses and 5050's are more solid looking in my opinion.

^thankyou PJ, lol. but seriously, i longboard and I think that has really helped my rail balance, just because you're sideways and moving foreward, has to do something.

All of us take our styles from surfing, cause that where skating snowboarding all of it started.

if 90% of us have never surfed, and there is no grinding in surfing, tell me how skiers influenced by surfing when it comes to rails?

im more on the side of snowbarding when it comes to sliding rails on skis, the whole butter aspect, nose presses etc.

Both, I mainly rollerblade throughout the summer because it's so closely related to skiing. I snowboard sometimes when I feel like it.

I find it so funny and ignorant that many of you think 'fruitbooting' and 'snowlerblading' is gay. I mean these sports closely resembles newschool skiing. Without these 2 other sports, newschool skiing would probably NOT evolve out of wearing hot pink spandex suits. Give them credits for giving freeskiing a new future.

rollerblading, I learned that falling off a rail or bailing hurts a lot more on asphalt. Hence giving me more confidence on snow.

I can never seem to grasp why so many people hate on rollerblading. Rollerblading is an ill sport. If you really see what rollerblading is about then you will stop hating. Watch an IMYTA comp or somthing. (I Match Your Trick Association)

but i do think that we get more from snowboarding. There isnt alot of grinds on rollerblades you can do on skis.

^They don't have a good reason, they just feel the need to hate on something. Thus 'It's gay', despite the fact that no sport is inherently connected to an attraction to members of the same sex. It doesn't make any sense. But people just keep hating... sure, they might come up with reasons, like 'it looks retarded' or 'the people who do it are rejects', but not only are those reasons only invented to justify the hate, they don't even make sense. It can look different depending on how you do it, and only some of the people are assholes. Same with skiing. Case in point, the morons who hate on other sports.

To the people that hate on rollerblading/skateboarding or whatever:
Why do you think there is some people that don't like skiing?
Answer: Because there's people like you.

Umm, people on rollerblades started jumping on rail, then skateboard folks decided to do it. Most of skiing tricks is crossover from inlining and skiboarding, not snowboard. Snowboarding is far different from skiing.

sporegasm. nose presses and tail presses are not snowblading or rollerblading. You could also do sort of a crooked on skis - like lipslide on to the rail and do a nosepress, but press on the side of the rail so you stay on. It would look like nosepressing a wallride exept on a normal flatbar.

plus you got guys like gangier doing royale's on boxes and he does freestyle backslide on down rails like he did in the x games first obstacle. and that fast slide to fakie off is really solid as well good style and its sick to incorporate other tricks from diff sports and make it our own after we evolve it or take the trick a step further.but like someone said before saying something is 'gay' or 'looks retarded' is def the wrong way to look at things. nothing is gay. each sport is hard in dif ways. for some people its easier than others but just give eachother respect and respect eachothers sport enough to not call it gay or reatarded b/c it really isnt. and plus let me ask the haters. how can you hate on a sport that you prolly can't even do and your gonna hate on someone that genuwinely enjoys it? GROW UP for real.

...but, I do dis-like what the sport has become, it is like that ugly group of smart kids that sit in the corner of lunch room and just snicker at everybody. They put out this vibe of being better than you and yet you know all they want to do is be you. Rollerblading got off on the wrong foot somewhere and they have been paying for it ever since.

Like I said in the Mack Dawg post...rollerblading has got out of control in terms of all they are is go big or go home. It is seriously lame...

this just in theres no such thing as fast slides. i hate that name for a BF(back foot). i go the same speed when i slide on my back foot as when i slide with both feet. so where does fast slide come from? rollar blading? this just in skiing isnt rollarblading.

its just a name, same reason why its called a japan air or a mute.

and i think u got em messed up, a fast slide is using only ur front foot.

back slide is back foot.

Surfing inspired skateboarding, which inspired the modern day skate park, where modern day rollerblading came from

of the people who have stated that snowboarding is easy and that doing nose/tail presses on rails w/a snowboard is easy, have you guys tryed snowboarding?

i understand if you were saying it is easier than for skiers to do them, but I really don't think it is that easy for a snowboarder to them. I think you guys think snowboarding is easier because you see more people everyday ripping on a snowboarder compared to the # of skiers. Skiing at this point is more difficult because we are still defing our tricks, still figuring out/learning new ones, we are kind of makeing it up as we go and taking from other sports as we do it.
Snowboarding has already pretty much branched out w/their tricks as far as possible, that is why 'they have more style'...because they are concentrating on that aspect.
As soon as skiing is as big as snowboarding and their are many kids ripping in the park, doing nose/tail presses like it's nothing, then other sports are going to start claiming skiing to be 'easy'. Snowboards obviously have an advantage with the whole nose/tail press thing, but snowboarding is not as easy as some of you have been saying, it takes skill and determination, just like skiing!

50-50 slanted to the side (between the 2 rails of a double barrel) tweaked over as far as possible, grab other foot and style it out.

Some people find inlining pretty fun, others dont. If you dont like rollerblading, simply dont do it.
