Oh and misty's and rodeos originate from snowboarding.

Rollerblading is basically the most un-original thing ever.

Flat-spins, Wall-ride 180 outs, Nose-Grabs(known as rocket grabs in blading), spin 180 switch on one foot to 180 onto rails or gaps(also known as med-spins in blading) done by rollerbladers in the late 90s. Before Snowboarding started doing those in big air comps. Prove me wrong and I'll show you proof.

Dude your missing the point, Im just saying rollerbladers made the same looking tricks before Freestyle Skiing. You can say skiing is un-original for using skateboarding terms, how stupid do you sound? You just cant admit that bladers have influenced skiing one of way or another since Freestyle Skiing took the some tricks Ski Boarders were doing (like Ex-Pro-Rollerbladers who were Pro Ski-Boarders and shifted into Freestyle Skiing like Nicky Adams in the early 2000's), and did their own thing.

I don't get how this dude is not understanding this. Every action sport takes ideas from skateboarding. Handrails, stairs, vert, just basic concepts like that exist because of people like Mark Gonzalez and Rodney Mullen.

i still dont understand whats so bad about rollerblading. right now, the only thing im hearing is that:

1) its origins come from skateboarding

2) the tricks involved in the sport are very different

3) a rollerblader could not ride a skateboard, and a skateboarder could not ride rollerblades

4) rollerblading is gay

if ive omitted something, please add it in.


so besides #4, which still doesnt seem to be supported by anything, ive come to the conclusion that skateboarders hate on rollerblading just because it isnt skateboarding. serious question, because i really don't know the answer: do skateboarders also hate on BMX riders? because i think BMX fits the criteria of #1-3 in the above list, and skateboarders would have just ass much of a reason to hate it as rollerblading.

BMX is alright, but there's tons of little kids at skateparks that just ride around in circles on their bikes and it's not fun to get ran over by some dweeb not paying attention. And when Bmxers grind they take chunks out of the ledge/rail unlike skateboard trucks which actually make the surface better to skate.

#3 is off by a little bit. From what ive gathered in this argument, it is the consensus that inlining is a lot easier to pick up and get good at. Skateboarding takes more time and effort practicing. Because you cant just "jump" on a skateboard, you need to learn to ollie. And it doesnt take one day.

So fucking what shit isn't a competition. Hell skating comes from surfing. This skater v. blader beef is the same exact thing as skiers v. boarders, ridiculous, the shit doesn't matter. Just have your fun however you want, free to have your own style in what ever you do. It's all the same mindset no matter the medium.

I DON'T FUCKING SKI, jesus christ.

Let me start by saying wallride 180's, skateboarding, nose grabs, skateboarding.

The argument is not whether or not sports have taken lingo or trick names from skateboarding. That is not what is frustrating, I love watching skiing and I respect the fuck out of it, however, I do not ski. I love snowboarding and I snowboard and they use skateboarding terms much like skiing and ROLLER SKATING in fact much more than skiing and ROLLER SKATING.

THAT IS FINE.

I do not care about people using the same language as skateboarding it makes sense.

WHat pisses is me off is you're saying that all of these tricks and their corresponding name originates from roller skating. ROLLER SKATING. That is what you fucking do, it is not difficult, that is why every fucking 4 year old in america knows how to roller skate.

Not saying I am not impressed by a guy like Montre Livingston he does cool shit. But how hard is it? Let's be honest here, snowboarding, bmx'ing, skiing, and skateboarding are all light years more difficult than roller skating.

And to be honest I could give a fuck less I usually don't hate on fruit booters especially when they're decent. I just really do not fucking like you OP. You seem like such a tool bag. My god.

That's total bull, you don't get montre livingston good in a day. Sure you may be able to slid a rail in your first day, but I assure you dropping stairsets, tech grinds, and most importantly STYLE takes some serious time to get, just like all freestyle sports.

Also I've seen people learn to ollie in one day, then kickflip; it depends on the person.

obviously I don't intend to call you out specifically, as you were just summarizing, but that whole mindset. Kids just need to learn to respect.

No grateful dead has it right. It's much harder to skateboard than roller skate. And take any professional skateboarder and the shit they do is harder than what montre livingston does. His shit is sick and he is pro for a reason, but skateboarding is much harder. Fucking deal with it.

i'm sorry but i'm gonna have to say that skateboarding and rollerblading are equally difficult.

yeah, rollerblading seems easier because it's like skiing or ice-skating so it's easy to pick up, but doing even the most basic grind on rollerblades is REALLY difficult.


there is also one HUGE difference between rollerblading and skateboarding. skateboarding is more oriented towards big drops and surface tricks, whereas rollerblading incorporates tons of different grind variations, switch ups, and spins. they're somewhat similar, but yet so different. honestly, i think rollerblading is more risky because rollerbladers combine drops and rails. you fuck up on rollerblades, you're landing on wheels... you fuck up on a skateboard, you're landing on your feet. rollerbladers take 15 foot drops to flat FROM RAILS.

i'm not saying rollerbladers are more talented, i respect both groups, i'm just saying that the actual skateboard keeps skaters from certain features that rollerbladers are able to hit. it's not the skaters fault, it doesn't make one sport better, they're different sports and they're both sick... that's all.

that's bull shit. both pros are performing at their peeks, judging how "hard" either is is retarded.

I'm getting the sense I'm being trolled though, or you're just an ass hole.

Probably like 70/30 me being an asshole and me trolling.

Like look I have respect for anyone who is professional at anything.

I am not saying roller blading isn't hard. I'm sure once you get to levels like pro's shit is way harder and scarier than a lot of things, but skate boarding is much more difficult especially at a professional level.

Now I am genuinely not being a troll or an asshole just honest take it as you'd like. But I can honestly say skateboarding is harder than most "extreme" sports (I hate that term)

Actually BMX'ing may be fucking harder. That shit is pretty intense and I have respect for those guys, Skiing is hard, snowboarding is hard, roller blading is hard at a professional level but even then out of all of those sports it's at the bottom end by quite a large margin.

I don't hate, I think their edits are dope. They do shit on blades I could never do, But I do shit on a skateboard that they could never do.

I liked skateboarding until like grade 10.

Its just so rough on the knees, style isn't anywhere near skiing, the airtime is minimal for the most part, the tricks are hard as fuck and don't look amazingly different from each other.

Skiing and snowbaording are just so much better.

As for roller blading, i can't do that

Lets agree to disagree, maybe in terms of progression skating has progressed to a harder level with the crazy flip tricks etc I can't keep up with it but in terms of effort put in at what ever level the idea of one being "harder" than the other doesn't make sense to me.


I think you may have it, just don't want to admit it/lose that sense of superiority but you said it well, "They do shit on blades I could never do, But I do shit on a skateboard that they could never do."

Respect brotha I don't care what sport it is, as long as people understand what it's like to stomp tricks and get chicks (dicks if you're a girl) then that's what matters.

Exactly.

It takes YEARS to actually develop a good solid style in blading.

Peep my boy Tim Franken doing Switch 450(called fakie 450 in blading) BOTH ways left and right side(called switch and natural in blading) onto the downrail in the last round of this comp. That dude has 10+ years on blades, you can tell by how steezed out he does the same trick both ways.

Am I the only one that thinks the spinning in roller blading looks awkward as fuck? It's something about the way they twist or something, idk, but it just looks so much more fluid and normal when there's something bigger tha your feet on you.

jesus, you rollerskate kids are such fucking try hards. I say that most ski trick names were passed down from snowboarding and skateboarding and all you fucks jump out and try to defend rollerblading and make it sound like you invented action sports.

now I realize why nobody likes blading.

for a sight that tries to emphasize individual style and doing something for fun, newschoolers sounds pretty fucking stupid hating on rollerbladers.

grow the fuck up. you only hate on rollerbladers because its the popular opinion and skateboarding magazines told you to. there is literally no other reason to hate on someone doing what they love when it doesn't affect you.

Misty flips have been done in gymnastics before rollerblading, why couldn't skiers get the idea of misty flips and other flips from gymnastics? I respect rollerbladers, there are some extremely talented rollerbladers. It's just annoying how you seem to think that just because someone did it in rollerblading first means that that's where skiers got the idea from.

every single person in this thread who is arguing about which sport is better is an arrogant dumb ass. you all sound more illogical every time you post and are completely incapable of putting together a decent argument besides name calling. none of you have expressed even the most basic debating skills, starting with the fact that none of you are choosing a side that can be argued for in the first place. this is about as logical as trying to decide if baseball is better than football. no matter how gay something looks, not matter what the "father sport" is, and no matter how many people are good at it, does not change the fact that A LOT of people have fun doing it. saying one thing is more difficult than the other is bullshit because difficulty is determined by how hard you try, not the vehicle you are riding. please, before anyone else tries to post in favor of one or the other, think to yourself, "does this really make sense? is there any support behind the things i am saying? am i trying to turn an opinion into a fact?"
