I hear so many people say we need to keep skiing away from rollerblading or inline or whatever you call it. What do you think Urban rails are? Thats pretty much rollerblading because it sure as hell isnt skiing. Sliding rails took me about 2 minutes to learn and it's just stupid, theres no point.

I know this might offend a lot of you, but look at the big picture, if you're not turning and you're not on snow, you arn't really skiing. Hitting a rail in your backyard does not count as skiing, sorry. If you want to jib trees or rocks as a part of a creative line or whatever I'm all for it, but standing around the park sliding metal rails with your hands by your sides trying to look as cool as possible is just stupid

i kinda agree with ice because ya know were both from little cottonwood canyon *alta/snowbird* and if you rode here everyday you would see rails and think there kinda dumb, but i have no problem going in the park when theres nothing else to do, rails are super fun when you get into it, but from the outside its kinda dumb, if that makes any sense

I would rather do "real" skiing than rails, but I can't. I live in atlanta, so all I have is rails. All I can do is put a tarp out, put water and soap on it, and slide a rail I made. For those of us that don't live in places that are blessed with good snowfall and terrain, we have to use what we have. And to challenge ourselves, we have to use rails.



Imagine the ns outcry if u(lateralis) were banned. There would be countless threads and petitions to bring u back, it would be like when treadway got banned from whistler. Someone would probably make and sell 'Free Lateralis' stickers and shit. -j

I agree with ice is scary to a certain degree.. yes there are a breed of skiers that copy gorilla steeze way too much and if they skied outta the park they wouldnt be able to link 2 turns together..this is true. But since when is progression bad?? Sliding on a rail isnt skiing? Good call, most of the time people dont ski on thin pieces of metal, but doing a sick 270 or 450 off and landing onto snow..im pretty sure thats skiing and its moving in the right direction. Don't be so judmental



and who the fuck says "let's go jibbin!" ??

In my opinion f you have skis on, then you are skiing. Also, sliding rails is way funner than skiing groomers

when eastAR5 said that thing about just hitting jumps and being a gay aerialist, I thought of eastAR5's uploaded picture of him filming himself in the mirror and pictured his pinner ass calling Matt Chojnacki (quadruple twisting quad backflip) Gay. hahahahahaha
Chojnacki would ignore and snub you but if you got through, he would break you over his knee.

rails are cool
airs are cool
powder skiing is cool
bumps are cool
breaking world records in aerials is cool
racing is cool
eastAR5 is a little fairy jibber who is in love with his own steeze and only his own steeze

sorry for having an opinion, and all you little kids who can't even spell can stop pming me with the "fuckigncocckserefagasspieceofshit you cant ski blagvlahblah" I dont read them so don't waste your time. I just think jibbing is boring and pointless, if you wanna sit around and slide a metal rail hike up and do it all over again all day while your hunched over like a monkey copying some pro in a jibmovie you watched last night, be my guest. I'm just saying I think it's boring, yeah I'm sure I could make it more challenging by trying to 270 on 270 off, exc but whats the point of that? It wont make me any better at skiing so why bother? At least when I'm hitting jumps in the park I'm working on air sense and control stuff that can help you charging a tech line with airs in it.

you really disapoint me with this thread Ice-is-scary

its all skiing- thats whats so sick about skiing, there are so many different genres. i personally love skiing powder and tree lines and drops, but if the snow is shitty i head to the park, because its also extremely fun, and guess what i also spend hours hitting urbans rails. and i set up rails in my backyard and hit them, and thats still skiing.

skiing is about fun, not arguing over what is "REALLY SKIING" or not

prolly like 120, me and bob white (linesnowblades) hit it once and the same time and went so big out blades fell off!!!!!!! We were like shit our blades just fell off, thats not supposed to happen!!!! What a day.

Granted, I retract my "not really skiing arguement" I just thinks it's pointless, maybe its just not fun for me, and it works your skis.

THINK OF IT THIS WAY!!!
jibbing is cool becuase you don't need a mountain to do it. you can do it almost anywhere...basically it just let's us ski more so in my book it's shibby
