-In rollerblades your strapped in to it, skateboarding you have nothing to lift the board up. Just practice, it takes more skill to ollie, than to jump.

The only thing i\'m gonna face is that this just proves u have no idea. I used to skateboard man. If u bothered to read my past posts i went from skateboarding into inline..
Ollie’s IMO are easier to learn then a decent inline jump. Mainly because you can easily bail on a skateboard, far more easier then bailing on skates. The balance is totally different on skateboards then inline, most people have trouble just moving in inline skates. [dumbarse mode on] I could just get on a board and be moving within the hour.
[/dumbarse mod off] Try bailing in inline skates in vert or street. You ever tried running of wheels strapped to your feet
Inline and skateboarding are TOTALLY different, take it from someone who used to do both. Inline has many more different types of flips, spins and grinds. Even the grinds can be more difficult because of the simple fact your FEET have to change their positions. Every part of your foot is a grind, then change the position of your back foot and there\'s a totally new one. in rather then the board. Skateboarding has the board tricks side that inline doesn\'t have. They have around the equal amount of grabs. It\'s harder to bail on inline; it\'s harder to spin on skateboards. Each have there own good and bad side.
Go on a trampoline, with your shoes on, and do the biggest spin. Now take a skateboard and take off the trucks, and see what you can do. Because your not strapped in to spin, so you dont have to worry about the board/blades

If i was to go on a trampoline with shoes on, I’d be closer to skateboarding then inline.. Go on the trampoline with inlines on, then you\'re getting closer to inline
Like i said, 1080 is a norm in inline. That\'s like a 540 in skateboarding, nearly every pro can do it.
this really makes me laugh, take 2 shoes, how many different flips and turns can you do with it? Not a whole lot, take a piece of wood and see how many you can do with it. Almost infinite. If you look at a trick glossary a skateboarding will take up 3 times as much space. On roller blades its all just variants of one trick (an indy / simple grind)
You make no sense what so ever, A example of a street trick..
Try fakie to 360, to soul grind hehe then jumping to another handrail to a front side, jumping off with a 180 to fakie with a grab in there etc. Doesn\'t happen in skateboarding, just like board tricks don\'t happen in inline. The sports are totally different.
A example of vert trick would be dropping in fakie (backwards) then doing a brainless (backflip 540) etc. This stuff doesn\'t get done in skateboarding.
I\'m not saying skateboarding or inline are better or worse then each other, i\'ve just got the experience in both to know better, and not be a friggin sheep following what gay ass mags or other morons say.. That\'s just kiddy s@#t.
