If the yasatoki brothers SKIED

If newschool skiing broke exactly five years earlier, there would have been TOTAL solidarity with rollerbladers. As it happens, newskool skiing broke long after skateboarding's resurgence and blading's commercial suicide. In 1993, skateboarding was unfashionable as rollerblading is now. So, any skiier that hates on inline skating is doing so based on things that are entirely circumstantial and not in any way related to good taste or having a mind of his own.

(I don't blade or skate btw, I just walk (to my car)).

I admire rollerbladers because they do what feels good even though theres asshole joeys all over the slopes bashing on them.

because I like poop.

if they skied, they would deffinately be in msp's hitlist

Funny for sure, everyone acts so damned cool on the subject, "Rollerblading's fucking gay." "That crap is easier than skateboarding."

Well, yes, yes it is. Nobody claims it more difficult. But it is also fun. Some people even have the nerve to go so far as to say that rollerbladding tricks are nothing like ski tricks. Hmmmmmmm, ok. When I am on skis and roll into a jump fakie, I am actually in the same body position as I would be when I skate fakie into a jump. Strange. And when I set my trick, it is the same motions as you would do on skates. Hmmmm, very strange. Actually come to think of it, nearly everything you do in the air or on transitions was done on skates YEARS earlier. But I'm sure all of our tricks came from all the other sports, skating had zero influence. Sure.

I remember way back when...at the first High North ever. We were watching a skate film with JP and JF analyzing all their airs since the shit is the same. We were watching a fool named Jon Bergeron throw these insanely huge switch rodeos off a launch. Just thinking, damn, this is where skiing is going. Now before half of you flip out about your own influences to ski and push yourself, just realize that skating played a much much bigger part than you might realize. Snowboarding stemed from skateboarding and of course surfing, and it is the reason we had all the stuff to play on in at the mountains in the first place, but when it came to us figuring out our rotations and flips, skating was already doing it, clean, smooth and big. Already stated on here somewhere, and I don't know what rollerblading, if any, that you see, for the most part, much of the vert scene has gotten gymnastic and that isn't so cool, but straight up skating is crazy. Death defying stunts. When some fool comes flying in and does a cab seven reverse mute over 16 steps, rolling away like it was nothing, I think that is cool. Don't be a hater.

I skateboard quite frequently and I have total respect for rolling (as in big 180s and tech grinds not doing E). The relationship between skateboarding and rolling is very similar to that of skiing and snowboarding in terms of "______ is fucking ghey!". Kids that suck at skateboarding hate on rolling as a means of justifying why they suck at skateboarding and kids that hate on skateboarding do it for varied reasons to which I really don't know. Simply put: People that are 'good' at either skating or rolling or skiing or snowboarding have respect for what the other group is doing and know how petty it really is. Some rollers I hate for the reason that they are asses to skateboarders/jerks, and then I hate some skiers for the same reason except with snowboard hating.

^nice contribution ass... and yes if you gave them a few seasons (like 2) to learn to ski... they would dominate... with their spin ability and air awareness... especially on urban...that would be cake because instead of having to be on that one sweet spot of the skate... skis have 6 feet to be on your nose or tail or actually centered... they would probably be rocking short ass skis though... like 150s for a 6 foot person... and didn't the phils skate at all? not positive but i thought they did

Does it annoy anybody that the first trick landed in Not Another Ski Movie WAS SEVEN AND A HALF FUCKING MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE???????????????? i paid for a ski movie... not a tour of a lightbulb factory
