as T hall said: 'I would like to see more hype on skiing. I think skiing could be made a lot cooler than it is. Just because of the roller blading aspect a lot of people think it's just like roller blading, but it's the furthest thing from it.'

hes got a point so dont post anymore gay pictures of rollerblading. its the reason there isnt a skiing video-game and a lot of other stuff

^word. you are dumbest fuck i've ever heard. you cannot tell others what they can and cannot post, and why would we want skiing to be considered so mainstream and 'hip' that some video game company can make a buck?

'I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office before a physical this morning. There's nothing wrong with me, but healthy people get physicals just-for-the-hey-of-it every couple of days. When they finally mispronounced my name, I got up and walked down a hall with a nurse. After a while, the doctor came in and inspected my holes. He said that I should lose weight and consider stop smoking. I blew smoke in his face and explained that he is a douche bag. We all had a good laugh and he agreed.' -Skydaddy

its just someone elses passion. we are passionate about skiing, and people respect that, so we should just respect other peoples passions too. i personally think rollerblading is a lot closer to snowlerblanding. note:i am not a fruitbooter
i live skiing

I think racing and the one-piece have more to do with how skiing is 'uncool.'

yea rollarblading can be real cool, unless its a fat gay dude in a thong. 540 acid soul to ledge to 10 foot drop is definately cool. i think we should be exchanging ideas, not hatin on the other.

^ thats not even a trick you fucking idiot. you just combined a whole bunch of rollerblading terms. idiot. rollerblading is the real deal, though. those guys get no respect but they keep doing what there doing, and what they do is far from easy. it takes HECKA balance, strengh, and gigantic balls.

we are influenced by lots of sports. is it fair to say that rollerblading is influenced by other sports too? i think so. influence is good, as long as you dont get carried away

skiing is life

without skiing, i would have no life

first off its not fruitbooting... its rolling you fuckin idiot... second of all i guess you dont like things like candides 810 disaster railslide bc that I CAN GUARENTEE stemmed from rollerblading as well as the 450 as well as 270 lipslides... they are all just derived from 450 bs royales and 270 bs royales... second of all skiing is fucking easy as hell compared to rollerblading if you start skiing after you have been rolling for a few years because you already have the fundamentals its just a matter of transistioning yourself to them... i have been literally skiing twins for 2 seasons and not a lot of days those seasons yet im better then a shit load of people for that time range and i owe that to rollerblading... so eastar5 shut the fuck up bc uve prob seen one too many vert contests of the japanese brothers... do urself a favor and get a real movie of rolling like hashassians and tell me that rolling isnt a good influence for skiing....

Accusing fruitbooting of blackening skiing is like claiming that the Jews killed Jesus. The Jews didn't kill Jesus, they made him.

I wouldn't play a skiing video game even if they had one. People like the poster of this thread spend more time worrying about hype and video games and the shit that comes the commericialization of a truly beautiful sport than they do participating. Go fuck yourself and start snowboarding you fairy fuck.

God damn it! i am sick and tried of this trash talking between differnt sports! In my town i have a huge group of friends who are inliners, skateboarders, skiers, snowbaorders and there is no shit between anyof us! we all respect eacher and we all understand why we do what we do. the love of it. If i can accomplish one thing in my life it is to stop all this hate bewteen us in our respective sports! Respect is the key, you do what you do because you love it, i do what i do for the same reason, get over it and hang out. Fuck!

I'm not a fan of Rollerblading...i don't owe the sport any respect but i don't think its horrible. I would rather not have it influencing skiing, but that wont happen so i'll deal with it and just get my inspuration from other places, like skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding.
The one thing that i don't like about rollerblading is the overall aditude that they have of 'were hard core, balls out shit, i slide rails 30ft off the ground' its like they have to prove them selves to the world or someshit and it makes the people in the sport seem arogant. I feel alot of that coming off in skiing also, and i think that is why people frequently compare the sports, and why tanner hall has to express that, but by him expressing that alot of people will then knock alot of that shit off, i keep skiing real, and not let it fall in the hole that rollerblading is in.

rollerblading is good training in the summers. you learn to keep your balance over your feet like you should. you don't case landings as much because you learn not to land on your tips or tails.

the first time i skiboarded i thought it felt exactly like rollerblading. but when you move to skis, there is little comparison. you bring your style and your rail skills but everything else is different.

the style of rollerblading has alot of knee tucks and shit, and you see that moreso in snowbladers, note how its called snow'blading'. Skiing is its own style, you cant cross up mute on rollerblades or snowblades, well i guess you could with snowblades but it would look uber gay.

Skiing is directly influenced by rollerblading. Liu Kang Grab. Japan Grab, Mute Grab, One footed slides. spins onto rails. Even though some of these tricks might not be cool anymore. They still have a big influence and are still used all the time. Note that these were rollerblading tricks long before skiing went big. Just embrace and quit trying to qualify skiing as an original entity that isn't influenced by anything. I think it's just fine and I don't skate.

i dont ski cause i rollerblade
i dont rollerblade cause i ski
i ski cause i love it
i roll cause i love it
i love sliding rails on both
i think i could bring more tech stuff from rolling into skiing
i think i can bring more style from skiing into rolling
do what you love, cause you love it, not cause you can be 'cool'
dont trash on people for what they love

you might think that skaters think they have something to prove, well we dont, it would be a waste of our time. and we dont want to be in the lime-light, cause we'd hate for rollig to be the next skateboarding/snowboarding (soon to be skiing)

remember a little contest called the X-games, skiers werent allowed cause 'it wasnt cool?' sound familiar, kinda like not too long ago for us, huh?

get over your-selves, youve only watched what the media puts out there: capri-sun ads, and x-games vert. most of you have never seen a real skate video. if all i ever watched was x-games, i could think that skateboarding was hard (like chess) but super boring, but it takes watching a video (like flip's sorry) to see how insane skateboarding is.

in conclusion, just because tony hawk doesnt like rollers, doesnt mean that us rollers can bring stuff we know into our skiing. and noone looks at skiing and rolling as the same, trust me, it takes someone to overly analyze it.
