Does roller blading help u at skiing at all (if u cant get to the snow all the time)? They seem a lot a like, but the balance and everything would be different, so i dunno.

Some people say it doenst help skiing at all. I think thats bullshit, sure the skates dont have any swing weight like skis, but the fact is you're putting your body through similar motions giving you better balance for skiing. Like spins, on rollerblades you have to stay balanced , and if you land backseat, you fall on your ass and break your tailbone. and rails feel similar, except rollerblades lock in more.
But all in all it helps

what is about using no skis or such stuff on tramps. And yeah, rollerblading should help. I wish i could do it more often.

yeah any balance sport helps you, but rollerblading the most because its very closely related... especially for railslides... i had been rollerblading for 5 years prior to doing my first rail on skiis and i can say it makes me dominate rails now. the feeling is much more natural and less akward. i can 450 onto rails now mostly cause i can skating, and i even 450ed onto an urban rail/

tramps rock for building muscle reflex and it gives you ultimate confidence in your tricks when you're learning them on snow. And anyone who says blading doesn't help your skiing is a fuckin idiot. balance on blades is so hard, if you can nail cork 5's and ride the pipe good with blades that will improve the technical ability of your skiing a Lot. Start boosting in the pipe with rollerblades then next ski season watch your pipe amplitude and fluidity grow like mad.
Con, blading is possibly the ugliest sport ever, Pro, if you go huge and throw smooth tricks, Anything looks good.

i agree with kasonova, rollerblading is possibly one of the ugliest sports in most cases, but if you try hard it can look pretty good, its just rare for people to pull that off.

I love doing both, and tho rollerblading does help a bit skill wise, I think it's all a confidence thing. Your confidence goes up alot becuz you realize that falling on asphalt hurts alot more than snow. And the scrapes and cuts are not as common in skiing

yea it helps alot, try and find a foam pit or a place with a nice fly box. Just praticeing 3s with diffrent grabs and fives helps with ballane and style. If you can do a nice styley 3 on skates you will kill it on snow.

I must agree. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being most gay, roller blading is an eleven.

Jesus Christ ^^ you two are just idiots following the NS 'rollerblading is gay' trend. Every person saying that in this forum should put on a pair and try it, then film it, and show us how gay they think it is. Since you're all such cocky bitches, prove it to us, every single fucking one of you. We'll see how many can hit a rail 3 feet high first try or how many of you will be begging for mercy from god after doing your first rail thinking you're the shit and end up in the hospital. It's not gay, you can't even call a sport homosexual in the first place, only pussies like yourselves who dont have the balls to try are gay. You stupid faggots!
Grow up for christ sakes, if you have nothing good to say, then dont post, because you're not funny and you're not helping anybody. You're killing this forum. You're all just human waste.

I am following no trends here. I just like to fuck with hypersensitive pussies like yourself. Yes, I am aware that what i say is of no help or relevance, but why do you feel the need to defend a sport. my main goal here is to elicit a response.

ok heres my thinking....rollerblading itself is cool. the names of the tricks bug me but thats just my preference. i want to see a good pro skier but on skates and skate around and put more ski style into blading...less corked out upside-down 1260s. more cork 3s and rodeos adn shit

i have to add that fruitbooting definately helps with balance. you have to be so centered on skates. if you land backseat at all, road rash to the ass. i think it helped with my skiing, haven't skated in 3 years though, and my skiing has improved immensely, so maybe i am just full of shit. i dunno.

one of the things that makes it stupid is when skaters hit a rail and they start doing all of those combos on it. personally i think that it looks pretty gay. they look like they are dancing on the rail.
