Skiblade420Snowboarder types who bag on skiers:
1. They snowboard once a year and do a falling leaf down the whole mountain. They bag on skiing to justify how shit they are.
2. Edgelords that are actually good at snowboarding. They have weird egos and consider themselves a “badass rebel”.
3. Snowboarders who don’t think skiing is stupid, but think the jokes that involve skiing are funny. Pretty cool people to ride / hang with.
CaseySnowboards are toys, skis are tools.
gravelwhat
it’s all toys bro
Young_pattyYeah, but just like fruit booting, if you’re actually sick at it no one will really hate. A lot of my friends snowboard but they still think it’s neat when I do something cool on skis. Kinda goes to show that shredding is kind of a universal concept.
CaseyWhich is why the only way to snowboard in the backcountry is to saw your snowboard in half and make two skis. Facepalm
BLandzImo park skiing looks better than snowbaording if its done right tbh
armchair_skierI think the ability to go straight from the lift, ripping laps fast af top to bottom, through moguls, crud, groomers, ice, parks, jumps, side hits, etc is something you just can’t do as well on a snowboard.
But ripping proper pow on a snowboard feels so fucking good. It literally feels like surfing on air. And you just float so much better.
Also when skiers yard sale and all their gear explodes off their body, it looks cool as fuck.
gravelmann you superior feelin asshole

PulledStorkGotta cut the fruit boot terms out man. It’s pretty much an old term to call blading gay. There’s been such a history of homophobic terms thrown around with blading by skatepark culture that made it difficult for the sport to grow. Agree with your larger comment tho shredding is shredding.
Skiblade420I don’t think so. Skateboarding blew up way more / has more history than roller blading.
Skiing has been around way longer than snowboard and has a big following / tons of pros who absolutely huck their meat.
when you go to the skatepark it’s rare to see a rollerblader. When you’re on the mountain it’s expected to see a bunch of skiers

skiP.E.I.Roller skating, which rollerblading evolved from has been around a lot longer than skateboarding. The first skateboards had metal roller skate wheels.

Skiblade420Roller skating is not roller blading.
skating was inspired / came from surfing.
armchair_skierThe only move snowboarders have over skiers is a tweaked out method grab, straight air.

Skiblade420I know this is a joke but honestly, the only reason people bag on skiing is coming from insecurity somewhere in their life.
