Rollerblading Vs Skateboarding ?

[ermaclob]

No not Backmount Vs Sidemount

What do you guys think is better (if not the pros and cons) rollerblading (Fruitbooting) vs skateboarding (Wanks on Planks) ?

I only have 11 dives, does my opinion count? (skateboard, and not the long kind. The fun kind.)

Speed skating rollerblading is a real sport, requiring massive strength, big aerobic power, and sharp coordination.
Skate boarding requires coordination, and an anti-social grundge-type personality, it's a lesser sport.

im gonna vote fruitbooting just cause it is a hilarious name lol

Fruitbooting for sure. Skateboarders can just step off if they get in trouble, fruitbooters have to deal with the situation or endure road rash (or worse).

I'm going to have to point out that neither are pursuits to be indulged in once you start to shave.

To me...and you were going for opinions , it is a big plus in picking a new sport, for this new sport to help cross train you for the other sports you already do, or for new ones you plan on adding....
In perspective, a speed skater like Eric Heiden, was able to cross over to Pro Cycling at a Tour De France level in like one year....This due to an enormous anaerobic and aerobic base from speed skating...from here, he could add Scuba diving and Freediving, and from week 2 on, be better in underwater propulsion than 99.9 percent of instructors or divers ....if he had been a urban trick skater instead of a speed skater, his skate training would allow him to cross over to cycling at the level of a person that comutes to work on a beach cruiser...and if they added diving, they would have no advantage over any instructors, though some advantage over a large number of sedentary divers.
Skateboarding, and you are close to the sedentary divers, and even the homeless guys on stolen beater bikes could smoke you on a bike
