    Blades > all

    Skiied for 3 years before trying blades and don't ever want to go back. I even converted 6 skiiers from the group to blades and they absolutley love them, can't see them going back either.

    Blades are bloody great fun, but I tend to only spend a day or so on them each trip as I do get a bit knackered after flying about on them all day with all the extra turning. A bit of both ski's and blades for me as I also love the speed that I get out of the ski's which I'd get nowhere near on the blades before they become unstable.
