"Mind thinks, body moves," total body automation. I'm not buying it. Your following the lead skier's every move when you are the cameraman doesn't speak very well for the "mind thinks" part. Matter of fact, it speaks to a profound lack of Mindfulness. bw |

The only thing you're doing that most people don't is waving your arms around a little while you're at it; how does that make it "skiing"? It is called "rollerblade skiing" because it is a technique/skill primary used for going downhill and is "skiing" oriented sliding But it's not. There's no more "sliding" going on there than any typical skater will demonstrate while carving turns to control their speed. Probably less, in fact, because you're going quite slow. rather than "rollerblade" is "skating" oriented, and the principle and techniques of the body movements are as same as skiing. Yes, body movements for coasting downhill on in-line skates do have a great deal in common with skiing. But again, most of the masses of skaters who employ the same techniques (arm-waving excepted, of course) just call it "skating". bw |

There's no more "sliding" going on there than any typical skater will demonstrate while carving turns to control their speed. Not really, most in-line skaters cannot even parallel turn on wheels, let alone carving. And you cannot really use carving to control speed on the bike paths/streets, there's no room for it.

It takes skills to go down a slope slowly on wheels. rather than "rollerblade" is "skating" oriented, and the principle and techniques of the body movements are as same as skiing.

Of course, they only know how to "skate"; that is, due to the design of skates, most of masses "walk" their skates. And "rollerblade skiing" "slides" with both skates on the ground. Different technique and different way to skate, a new name is needed to make a distinction. You don't skate, do you? IS bw |

IS bw See...with your rollerblading you offer a much more descriptive and cohesive story to back up your claim of skill on skates. I suggest you are a better skater than you are skier. |
