Snowboarders copied skaters, then after that skiers seem to copy snowboarders. Who copies skiers? or who will be the ones to copy skiers?

Not really. It was around before skiing and several skiers have taken styles/grinds from rollerbladers.

Surfing I suppose in a very round about way:
Skaters came from Surfing.
Snowboards came from Skating.
Freestyle Skiing came from Skiers wanting to do on skis what they saw Snowboards doing.

And now today skiers such as the nimbus guys are directly influenced to an extent by surfers, ie. incorporating the slash into skiing.

As said in a very round about way.

IMO it goes line this:
-Surfing IS the OG action sport, it was around since ancient times in Polynesia and there are even ancient surf temples.
-skiing, at this point existed in sort of a "separate timeline" away from surfing and what surfing spawned.
-Skating was obviously directly influenced by surfing.
-Snurfing was an influence of surfing, taking a few basic elements from skiing but that's quite negligible.
- Hotdog skiing was created in the same manner of rebelliousness that early modern surfing and early skating posessed, not nessisarily influenced by early skating/early modern surfing but had the same spirit.
-snowboarding came from the evolution of snurfing with heavy influences from hotdog skiing (if you don't believe me I will try and find the video i found years ago to prove this, i think it was in the Simon Dumont doc.) and obviously skating. So snowboarding as we know it started from snowboarders infusing the same rebelliousness and spirit that was already on the slopes with hotdog skiing, and (snowboarding) was directly influenced by surfing and skating.
-Aggressive inline rollerblading was influenced by skate culture.
-Newschool skiing was influenced by the since died out hotdog skiing and snowboarding, but had (in some areas) stronger influences from Aggressive inline. If you don't believe me take Phil Belanger for example, he's said before that with Newschool skiing he and his friends who skied and bladed were just trying to do on snow what they did on their blades.

Ski blades fit in somewhere but let's forget about that bullshit...

BAHAHAHAHAH You're fucking retarded. The baggy clothes you wear skiing, guess what ROLLERBLADERS wore baggy shit in like 99-2004 WAY before any skiers really started dressing and acting "hood"

Let alone there are grinds in skiing MODELED after rollerblade tricks you stupid ignorant fuck. Its people like you that make me want to break a baseball bat over your fucking skull because you are still so jaded with your views and still call it "fruitbooting" just so you know any pro rollerblader is 100x more gnarly than any fucking skier and they get paid absolutely nothing.

Skiboards were the first twin tips, the direct parent of our sport.

Freeride mountian biking competitions like the Red Bull Rampage were started to copy similar competitions in big mountain skiing. Freeride mountain bike films seem to copy backcountry ski films with the hike/helicopter ride to the top and the ride down.

I think that snowboarders copy skiers in a lot of things. Tech rail tricks, butters, big mountain, flipping, and sliding on fucking snow all came from skiers. Also, note that skier fashion is currently on a track not before done by snowboarders, and I'd be willing to bet money that top boarders will be rocking camo, sunhats, and tech ass lookin hoodies/jackets. You'll see, YOU'LL ALL SEE!!!

Negative. Rollerbladers came a few thousand years later.

Mega Ramp Rollerblading if that's even a thing would copy park skiing.

while yes, skiing as a form of transportation was created far before rollerblading. I can agree that newschool skiing definitely was influenced by aggressive inline type rollerblading.

i guess more copying snowboard but still relevant
Can't find that wakeboard edit anymore, kinda urban, the guy was switching from water to sand, then rails or literally just sliding concrete. Twas insane
