sindreplassenskateboarding is way cooler though
Farmville420tbh not really
sindreplassenit really is though but no hate to rollerbladers, that shit is fucking insane. rip dima
Farmville420No sport is inherently cool, skateboarding is majority posers, I've never been to a skatepark and seen a rollerblader that didn't rip, but I have definitely seen hundreds of skateboarders at the park who don't.
So from actually watching people do it in real life, I think it's cooler because the people doing it are way gnarlier, and the community isn't as watered down and doesn't rely as heavily on trends as others. Also the sport is inherently so much more dangerous so that alone is pretty rad
sindreplassenskateboarding is way harder than rollerblading tho, skateboarding takes longer to master and no skater lands everything. rollerbladers def hit bigger and gnarlier spots than most skaters (unless ur nyjah), but I personally would rather see sean pablo do an impossible over a bench than a rollerblader doing a 540 off a roof. the influence that skating have had on things like fashion or filming is also pretty insane
Farmville420Ive done both, rollerblading is way harder than skateboarding, the stance alone is so counterintuitive and unnatural
Surprisingly skiing translates better to skateboarding than to inline lol

sindreplasseni have never tried rollerblading but a friend of mine said it was a lot easier than skating
Farmville420You should try it, pretty eye opening. I didn't think it was super gnarly either until I bought skates, now I'm pretty confident its the hardest learning curve of any action sport, maybe not the highest ceiling tho.
I think the biggest thing that I noticed is that if you don't land perfectly in position when skating, theres a shit ton of room for error. Just measured my board, the trucks are like 5 inches wide and decks are like 7-8 inches wide, with like 13-14 inches in between your sets of trucks, so in every dimension you have inches to work with. In blading you can't land on a rail with any error otherwise your wheels catch and you literally eat shit and die. You also can't bail on skates, you also can't land forward or backseat at all, so unless you played ice hockey or street hockey its not easy to learn at all. The balance from skiing has pretty much 0 translation except for grinds which are really hard to even just lock into.
