so im really pumped for my new skates coming tomorrow. the Benny Harmanus Deshi CH1s. there will probably be someone on here saying thy suck or theyre hella good, whatever, i dont really care about your opinion. these skates will suit me fine. anyways, i wantd to post this video of Colin Kelso. he is my favorite skater who just so happens to ride Deshis. i wanted to see if other skiers could respect this guys undeniable talent and style. (HE EVEN THROWS IN A LITTLE AFTERBANG!)


ive been here long enough to know "this is a skiing website" so yeah, knock me down a karma point if you feel obliged to.

theres nothing wrong with that at all, its a totally different sport. Theres a million grinds in rollerblading but that doesn't mean its better in any sense really, it just means that there is more options for what you can do on a given obstacle.

similarly, you can't hit 60 foot booters on skates, but that doesn't mean skiing is better.

its all apples and oranges, thats why its retarded how people hate on other "action" sports

That guy makes it look like figure skating, which is not cool at all.

i dont know...i feel like the variety of grinds that are now coming into light in skiing are somewhat limited.  i dont think that you could do most of those new grinds (which im more than willing to admit that you personally have introduced myself, as well as quite a few others im sure, to) would be very difficult to do on urban rails.  this is where rail skiing should be progressing, on urban, and most of these tricks (sorry i really dont know names) can really not be dont on any kind of technical handrail, at least thus far.

but rollerblading is obviously a different story.  seeing someone switch 270 onto a handrail into some kind of soultopsidealleyoopwhatever combo (again, no idea what the names are) is obviously extremely tough to do, let alone with any style.  rollerbladers have certainly accomplished this, but like i said, to the layperson, like myself, the majority of these tricks are really hard to distinguish from one another.

maybe i need to learn to be more observant...i dont know.  i dont mean to offend anyone.

ummmmmm he actually has done these tricks from what i have seen in his pics and vids........ porn stars (yes, this is a trick) down boxes and royale attempts, both on skis, kinda crazy, i just cant see it progressing from that, but def entertaining to see. Edges need to be removed in order to be able to do these tricks w/o spinning off of them i would think. BTW, take it from me, asians are angry, hahahaha i'm half korean and i'm always slightly on edge.

gunsfuckingrrrrrr..... i wasn't one bit insulted/offended by the comment, you were fine in what you said. At least i thought so. also, agreed on the urban sense, pornstars down rails will prob never happen since there is no soul area to lock on. There is no locking on in any sense when it comes to skis btw. but when that one gagnier guy did all those broken grinds down some urban at mach 20 i had a new respect for that grind. what i do want to start trying is a switch 50/50 (alley-oop makio) on skis at like mach 20 speeds, i think that would look killer. oh well, this is turning into quite a discussion

hes got some mad skill, and pretty good style, but i hate the gay looking clothes as said above, and the funny hats. i prefer more urban/thuggish style like ramelle knight and that montre guy. yes, a big part of it is they are black :P
