Agressive Inline Skating

Does anyone inline skate during the off season? I just picked up a pair of skates and it looks really beneficial to practice rail tricks on skates in the summer then go to skis in the winter

Fuck the haters bro. Been blading aggressive for 2 years now consistently and can personally attest to it helping out my skiing. Definitely invest in some pads when you are first learning, but I urge anyone to give it a shot. There is still a very core, Vishnu-type of population (mostly in their late 20s - 30s) that are still blading. We out here in CT filming daily @tallboyzbladeteam

i blade more than i ski nowadays even in the winter in salt lake. shit is dummy fun, im a total tech nerd too so if you ever want to chat about gear or setups or whatever anybody hit me up.

as far as rail tricks, honestly gripping a rail on skates is pretty different from skiing. even without putting your boot down and an anti rocker setup its a pretty different feeling. but learning to grind ledges on skates makes grinding on skis feel like riding a tricycle. so much more is possible its crazy. i feel seriously limited when im skiing the park now, i spend more time filming park or chaunching groomers than i do riding park.

see if theres a local blade group on facebook and join its so worth it. chances are there is at least one former pro who still skates near you if you live in a big city. everyone who blades nowadays is like 30 and has kids its awesome. tl dr go to a skatepark and fuckin throw down asap

This is what I like about bladers / when they haven’t touched skates in over 1000 days and still get hyped about how they used to blade.

Still kinda bummed that the majority of people taking about skating it is in the past tense.

Honestly I don’t know what you skiers are doing walking on concrete any months of the year other than winter when you could be rolling....

Skates on my feet and I feel like I’m looking at steep descent of fresh foot of powder everywhere I go

Keep skates on me at all times brah

Oh and one last thing - royale is the best feeling grind of all grinds in any sport hands down!!!
Have gone skating many times for a chill sesh and only do frontside and backside royales

I once saw a dank blade edit that included a urban kink that I wouldn’t even dream of hitting on skis, dick squeeze tricks that would make even Andy parry tremble, and a triple backflip

try out skating too man. I inlined for a couple years and it was fun but I lost interest quick. recently I picked up skating and I've been absolutely loving it. shredding bowls, rails, and doing flouts all just feel super natural from skiing

The complexity of grinds on blades completely ruined grinding on skis for me. Who cares about a double swap when you could do a double switchup? Both are super fun but honestly blading is cooler to me with the infinite grind possibilities. I picked it up a few months ago and I‘ve been super fascinated by it, love doing it as much as I can.

Hell yeah, I actually agree 100% homie. I think the infinite possibilites of blading between the different grinds, topsides, AO/truspin tricks, and all the new wave shit on the blading side makes it just as an exciting time for people like ourselves to get in. What setup y'all rockin? I'm riding a black pair of USD Nick Lomax Aeons. Switching from antirocker to flat was where I saw a HUGE jump in my ability level and which felt more natural (like skiing).

TLDR - blade or die. Or dont...whatever

You can do an Acid but not a Pornstar??? That's way more tricky in foot placement and angle.

pornstar is super easy as soon as you figure out how to put your shoulders into it. turn towards the ledge like a front unity, that lets you put your back foot on the corner of the ledge and really lock it. I see people doing pornstars by just dragging their toe behind them and it looks like shit

what size foot u wear? even if you have big ass feet i would STRONGLY recommend throwing 60s on the insides of your oysis. rocker really changes the way you look at a park. so much more is possible

The middle wheels on my Oysis touch the ground fine even when unweighted bc of how the outside ones have worn down. Plus I’m doing something called the “magic rocker” which is when you run flat profile inside bullet outside. Allows you to be on only the middle wheels when on edge. TL;DR I’m fine and the rocker feels great.

considering doing big wheel antirocker tho considering how much I like grinderblading.

60 antirocker setups honestly sound awful for rolling around. Maybe I just suck at pumping but even my Oysi setup feels not fast enough sometimes. I’m fixing to get Slimlines now and run them antirocker with big wheels.

Will probably just try using my Featherlite 2s for a couple sessions and see if I like them now that I can actually pump transitions.

Well this is a nostalgia trip, having been a blader from like 1995 it's rad to see new people getting into it and getting creative on set ups.
Blading definitely made me a way better skier as you have to land bolts every time, no tails to support you if you get wonky!

1mm of rocker so you can turn easier. Probably still ok on jumps if you have flat profile wheels, which basically all 58 and 56mm wheels are

Yes, so that it's rockered like an ice skate and you can turn more easily even if you're running four wheels with flat profiles

I refuse to accept your opinion because those dudes got style for miles, I doubt your local friends can make it look that easy (not to hate on them but they ain't Alex Broskow). Although you're actually a blader and I'm not so I will respect your opinion. Overrated or not it's still my favorite blade video just for the aesthetics, the Kelso brothers filming is unbelievably well done.

I haven't watched much blading but I know there's endless street videos that blow fishguys way out of the water in terms of technicality and huge tricks, especially shit from Chris Farmer- the local Minnesota hero. I actually saw him out hitting a handrail while driving around this winter in Duluth! Didn't have time to stop and say hello unfortunately... but the dude is an absolute mad man for keeping the street game alive in the brutal Minnesota winters.

I'd like to pick up blading but I'm not crazy enough to take slams on concrete. I'll stick to slacklining and mountain biking for summer hobbies in the meantime. Keep it up with the blading, shit looks fun once you got the basics down.

Been blading close to 25 years. Took up skiing this year for the first time because I moved to Vermont. The first day I got on skis I couldn't believe how it felt exactly like blading. The motions are almost identical. I find it funny how so many skiers skateboard and how many bladers snowboard.
