which one is better, aggresive inline skating or skateboarding?

I agree that they are both equal.  Both sports are extremely difficult and have unique elements.  Skateboarders can flip their boards around while doing airs and spins.  Rollerbladers can do huge spins to grids and multiple switch ups.  It just depends which sport you prefer.  Personally, I love rollerblading and to me it is better only because it is what I do.  \n\nThe people who answered that rollerblading is just spins or that people will get beat up if they go to a skatepark are totally ignorant.  Rollerblading is still a growing sport and there are WAY more grinds out there than there are spins.  People who aren't familiar with the sport aren't going to be able to tell the difference between tricks just like someone who doesn't know skateboarding might not know the difference between a 5-0 or a 50 50.  \n\nIt's all a matter of perception, but they are both great and encourage individualism and creativity.

Hockey!  blood blood blood!  And the speed and agility on skates is much more fun to watch.\n\nLacrosse is cool too, I guess

well i was once of both, sometimes overlapping... On my old streets I would say the skaterz, but i know alot of posers todays, and we hate them. they aren't real skaters like we were... Which is why we tossed our boards and ran for awhile... as a gangster back then, we had rulez,and respect. The skaterz were cool for they respected us. Today though, not even some of the guys at the youth correctional center i worked at could stand up to what we did or had to endure. Both, groups lose. cause the OGs would come out and bag them for ruining everything all of us built. Ruining the traditions and Names we earned. Oddly, it was the gangsters who became more successful when i put them to real businesses instead of dealing. As a skater i was a loner and had freedom, as a gangster (AS the cops labled us) I had loyalty and respect. I had to earn it. todays skaters would lose.I hate to admit that... I miss the old days. but, remembering kids being shot in front of our house and yet noone helping,,, I'm glad to be where I am at these days. Also, gangsters, aren't as greedy, we gave back when we became successful. I don't know any skater who's done that. Even Tony, when we skated in Irvine and Mission Beach... A long time ago... He hasn't given back. So winning... in both physical and life,,, has to be the gangsters... OF OLDSCHOOL... The real OGs... Not the once who claim, but do things for no reason, a true gangster tries to keep attention from being drawn to them. They do things hard, but we never get seen.

The best part about skateboarding is that there is no right or wrong way to do it.  It is pure freedom.  Anyone can skateboard.  Just get on and go.  If you want to take it to another level, then just like anything else, you have to practice and practice hard.

my favorite trucks are tensor lows. but it depends on what type of skating you do. if you skate transitions or QPs and stuff like that, i'd say fury.for street: tensors, they have that slider piece for better nose and tail slides. and if you skate street you probably want lows. it feels smooth and lets you land easier.

In my personal opnion, I think it depends. Skate and Vert skating are completly different, and both have someone who revolutionized them. \n\nRodney mullen is [well i think] the best skateboarder of all time. He has been skating since he was 8, and now hes 40 sum years old. And he is still a beast!!!! Go to youtube and just search "rodney mullen" and you will get tons of videos showing what he can do. He is sooo amazing, i tried doin some of the stuff he does, and i couldnt even come close. He is just sooo advanced and comfortable on a skateboard its unbelievable. Without mullen, we wouldn't have tricks like heelflip, kickflip, 360 flip, ect.\n\nThen tony hawk,  one of the best vert skaters that ever lived. In the 80's, when skating wasnt "cool" anymore, he still went out with his skateboard and practiced every day. He got a huge deal with birdhouse, which led to him having enough money to create Hawk Skateboards [a branch of birdhouse], His own series of video games [i wanna get the new one so badly!], and of course, when the whole world fell in love with those little finger boards, he had his own ramps and stuff you could buy that said "HAWK" all over him. Do you know how many kids everyday say "I wanna be just like tony hawk!!!" He is probably one of the biggest influences on young people in sports history.&#92;\n\nWithout those two people, skating wouldn't be what it is today.

For most people, skating in that direction feels more natural. I think it had to do with the fact that the majority of people are right-handed. If you're right handed, then it's more natural feeling for you to jump and spin and move in the counter clockwise direction. \n\nOn public sessions, rinks also require skaters to all go in the same direction for safety reasons, so you'll see that as well. \n\nBut at freestyle sessions, you'll see skaters moving in all sorts of directions - clockwise, counter clockwise, diagonally across the rink, in swirling patterns...

I think you mean to say bruises, and to prevent them you need lots of protective gear like a helmut and elbow/knee pads. Happy & Safe Skating!

Tony Hawk is probably the coolest skater alive. He's the one who invented the 900, which is one of the most difficult tricks to pull out. Besides he's what, 35 or so, and still skating...

NO!! Trust me a lot of my friends are punk and I love skate shoes they are really grat shoes because they have a lot of padding. I even ♥ love ♥ crowd surfing and moshing and stuff. It is perfectly normal.

yes its a sport\nbeen skating for far far too long, don't get up as fast i once did from falls now.  skating with people better than you is one of the best ways to get good fast, but personaly i think "kids" are jumping into some complicated tricks too quickly without getting all the basics down.  i was by far my worst critic, but probably skated for several years, everyday, before i felt i was any good at it.  i suck now i think, just don't get out enough, but people that don't skate are still impressed.  but yeah if you can find and skate with people better than you, ask for pointers, don't get "the fear" and you should be fine.

I don't like the ones with hard plastic outsides.  They're just not comfortable, especially if you skate for a long time.  My favorite are inline skates.

skateboarding is kinda of similar but it's easier to turn on a skateboard and people I know have said that skateboarding is easier then snowboarding.\n\nWhen buying a skateboard it really depends on you. I recommend going to a skate shop and trying boards out, see if they're what you are looking for in size,weight,thickness, and width. and definitly don't be afraid to ask questions. that's what clerks are for! If your planning to ride more on ramps get a 8 inch or above board, if your gonna ride more on the street then its 8 or below. For a beginner I'd recommend an 8 untill you get better and find out which is easier for you.\n\nSome say the easiest trick is an ollie, but either way you need to know how to ollie to do most tricks. chech out www.skateboard.about.com it says alot about starting out, stances, and tricks.\n\nGood Luck and Have Fun!!!!! :)
