So i've been doing some backyard rails with normal skis but i recently got a pair of snowblades. I was wondering if it would be better to practice 270s and 450s with snow blades?

you mean specifically practicing spinning in and out? i dont see any benefit to that really

last time i bladed though i felt like rails were generally a tiny bit harder. that was a while ago though and mightve been totally mental

I don't know if it will help with your sweet training, It will help us know who to kick squaw in the nutz.

Do soap shoes help with skateboarding?

Then, no.

snowblades are useless. they will help you with nothing. Be a man and stick to real skis

snowblades are fun, go do some backflips instead

Easier to spin. Harder to land

idk, in the summer i wanted to practice rails because i couldnt do them for shit the year before, but we didnt have a drop in so we found some old snowbaldes sitting in my friends garage, strapped em on and ran at the rail, jumped on and slid. if anything it definitely helped my balance on rails but i don't really think they help you for spins because the swing weight is completely different. and yea i definitely looked like an idiot im pretty sure my friend has a video on his phone

it makes landings and balance on rails a bit easier imo. i often switch between the two. i feel like its good to be good with whatever you put under your feet

Joking aside (because blades are queer as shit) it would teach you to land pretty centred as there's very little leeway for landing back/frontseat.

Make sure nobody sees you doing it or you'll get bullied and never get laid.
