firstly someone did a 12 in that, i presume it was the kid in question. secondly he had a really smooth style in the air and stomped the shit out of his switch landings for a blader (many of whom revert a ton of switch landings no hate on bladers).

None of you guys understand that hitting this ramp on skates is 100 times harder than an equivalent sized jump on skis. Wake shreds so hard

he was the first one to land a 12 on rollerblades, and personally i think he would be pretty good at skiing

This. I can guarantee all of you saying that he sucks couldn't even make it down the ramp to get to the jump.

Yeah but in fruitbooting those jumps are considered to be a good size. In skiing 20-40ft. jumps are nothing. Put him on skis and I guarantee you he would eat massive shit on what we consider to be a good sized jump. Also not every jump in skiing is a safe step over with roll in ramps that give you perfect speed every time.

Way to compare two completely different sports...

hahaha skiers are so funny.

Keep telling yourself that rollerblading and skiing have nothing in common.

Especially on an obstacle like this.

I guarantee you give him some skies and a little advise he'll progress at an incredible rate.

I'm not going to say all aspects of skiing are easy but if your talking about park skiing it's a whole lot easier then rollerblading.. haha min of 150cm of landing space...? Snow landings...? only a handful of Jibs... (is that the right word?) Do you guys even have to pump with all this downhill stuff? You don't even have to walk back up when your done.

AYY cameron card has a NS account thats pretty epic.

I rollerbladed for 3 or 4 years before I started real park skiing, I went to woodward for 3 years so I feel like I have a good understanding of the two sports and how they compare to eachother. Rollerblading is pretty fucking hard. And gnarly. Falling on snow is nothing compared to wood/concrete. Sliding a rail on skis is wayy easier to learn than the countless different grinds on skates.

That being said, hitting that 20/30 foot mega ramp is the equivalent of a 50-60 foot jump on skis. Anyone who disagrees, I dare them to drop in that ramp on skates. You would shit your pants. I would rather spin an 80 footer at breck before I spun that thing. Rollerblading doesn't have the massive sized jumps and cliffs and rails that skiing does which makes skiing very difficult and scary. Rollerblading is just way more technical and hurts a lot more sometimes haha

I haven't even put on a pair of skates in like 10 years, but if you think landing a jump on skis is harder than landing a jump on rollerblades, you're a damn fool.

I actually think rollerblading and skiing have quite a bit in common, except rollerblading is definitely harder on big jumps. I rollerblade in the summer, it's actually good help for my skiing, you learn how to learn solid landings because you can't afford to backseat yourself on a pair of blades.

Haha, who cares if you don't like "fruitbooting". If you gave that kid skis he would be dropping switch 10s in a year. Why?

- First and foremost, he has the basic skills package. He has great balance, air-awareness, stance etc.

- He has the most needed skill - determination. If you can fall on concrete over and over and still work hard, you can fall on snow over and over until you have it down

- I personally think landing on a set of planks with a surface area that is 180 cm long and 8 cm wide is much more forgiving than landing on two little sets of wheels on a surface than is less forgiving than snow.

How could you think he wouldn't be good. No one said he would be the best park skier in the world overnight, but to say he wouldn't be incredible is just absurd.

I've stopped reading any post, thread, or meme you have posted for about the past year now, and I can't tell you how much BETTER my NS experience is.


anything you write is about as credible and justified as Ann Coulter.

He didn't go inverted once and this was all on a ramp that he lives next to so how can you say he has great air awareness? You'd be a retard if you didn't have that jump down.

Again how can you say he has determination if he hits the same, perfect and low consequence jump every day?

I personally think landing on skis is easier than on blades, but taking off switch is a shit ton harder on skis than on blades and is a completely different motion. Ever see kids catch their noses taking off switch? Its quite common and hilariously dangerous.

Threads about bladers destroying in skiing pop up every year and yet it hasn't happened. They're two completely different sports but because they're kinda sorta similar looking, you kids assume they're the same thing except that skiing is somehow easier.

I will give credit, you are persistent. Unfortunately your logic is lacking since you argue out of anger rather than calm reason. Let's review your responses:

"He didn't go inverted once and this was all on a ramp that he lives next to so how can you say he has great air awareness? You'd be a retard if you didn't have that jump down. "

Answer: Do you use the same rational when Jon Olsson was the first guy to double? "Oh, he built that jump, you'd have to have an IQ less than 70 to not have that jump down". Familiarity with a feature doesn't produce skill. I am saying he has good air awareness because he can do a 10 and land on four little wheels without over-rotating on a lot of them.

"Again how can you say he has determination if he hits the same, perfect and low consequence jump every day? " I can't tell if you are skateboard or not, but have you ever taken a terrible bail on a hard surface similar to concrete? Anyone who has been doing it as long as any amateur or kid just out having fun has taken hard falls. You don't get to be good without them. So yes, he has determination

"I personally think landing on skis is easier than on blades, but taking off switch is a shit ton harder on skis than on blades and is a completely different motion. Ever see kids catch their noses taking off switch? Its quite common and hilariously dangerous. " WHAT?! KIDS WRECK SWITCH?!? NO WAY! Yep. and I sure he will learn just like everyone else.

"Threads about bladers destroying in skiing pop up every year and yet it hasn't happened. They're two completely different sports but because they're kinda sorta similar looking, you kids assume they're the same thing except that skiing is somehow easier." First off, please don't say "you kids", that is embarrassing since you are no more mature than the least on these forums. Secondly, I don't think I said anything about anyone blowing up, but rather than he could probably switch 10 in a year if he worked hard at it - which I still stand by.

So now please go away. :) And to the original point: yeah, get him some skis :)
