i started aggressive skating last summer. if anything my skiing skills transferred quite well to blading, making it really quick to learn simple tricks. Also, dropping it to a bowl feels just like a perfect tranny find on skis!
i've only been skiing twice this year, but both times i tried to imagine i was on inline skates, and it actually kept me out of the backseat and perfectly centered on landings!
I cant wait to try some rails on skates. but i might have to make my own, because my local skate park is filled with sick bowls, but very few rails, and all of the rails there are super intense down rails.
get some skates man. they are super fun.
but really nothing is better for your skiing that actually skiing haha.
