  • well no wonder you found it hard, your skis are like 10cm long

  • First 750m or so looked like an easy red =/

  • like a boss :D

    just like me :P

  • LOL at all of these people, a pisted black is not that fucking hard!

  • Schuss on a pair of bigfoots? No thanks!

  • Now take some super-G's and do the same...

  • Hahahahaha blades.

  • lamest black ever

  • ski blades?? what in the hell...and im pretty sure that was the lamest black ever....

  • @justgoforit97 i totally agree that was one rubbish black i am only 11 and do blacks twice as high and stepe as that. you're not exactly superman

  • @mike88046 If you really are 11, I'll respond accordingly.... I bet you your packed lunch that my dad is a better skier than yours, and if you keep commenting on my video, I'll tell my big brother on you, and he will beat you up! P.s. Maybe the blacks you do just look twice as high, because (being 11 and all) you are only half my height??? I live for comebacks, and you will never win.

  • I don't call this a black. At least not to the french standard. Maybe its diff? This would be a red.

  • @ddrosenzweig This was in France. I don't care if you call it blue or red or whatever, but whoever commissioned this piste was more qualified in piste commissioning than you, and he/she said it was black.

  • Judging by the sign at the top I think it says "Les Gets" YETI, Which is a pretty steep black... Doing it in 50 seconds may not be something that i would personally consider doing because normally it is covered in moguls. Each to their own i suppose :)

  • this is the worst video i've ever seen because:

    1. snowblades!!!

    2. that's the smoothest, shallowest, widest black run i ever saw

  • @powderluder yes, thank you!

  • sweeeeeeet

  • aha good run. man that looked good-if only you had a GoPro...

  • you suck, you were using blades you fucking wank

    

  • @berlinboarder1 Snowboards are for fags that make there decisions based on those around them. You should try shit before you knock it. Be a man, only boys follow!

  • @KCWhoa i have been skiing for all my life. i am 19 and an olympic sl racer so dont open your mouth when u dont even know me. man up

  • you suck, you were using blades you fucking wank

  • this is like a darkred slope, it would be a black (in my eyes) if the slope had all these bumps on it

  • Comment removed

  • what resort is that

  • A snowboard is faster :) ps that was 1 minute!!! xD

  • @InfinityGamesOn Snowboards are the slowest of slow, there is no denying that; so shushhh! Also, you will notice in some time to come (probably 10 seconds later than everybody else) that nobody else has said that it's a minute. This may be due to it being 50s from when I actually really start til when I finish. But thanks for the blatant unawareness and misunderstanding, it means that your unspoken comeback is much more amusing to me. Happy Trails

  • that looked like a gentle red to me

  • This was an easy black..... try one in canda lol they have like 4 sets of blacks

  • i thought the title ment a black man ran 1 kilometer in 50 seconds

  • @Antin0ob567 Hahaha, these are the sort of comments that deserve a thumbs up. Well done fellow irony user.

  • @Antin0ob567

    They only run that fast when the cops are after them. Haha.

  • @Antin0ob567

    Great!! ;-)

  • @Antin0ob567 Thank you so much for bringing that to light. Hilarious!

  • Du är kass sopa

  • Your avarage speed was 72km/h

    I went down a 13km hill in slightly over 10min, it wasnt nearly as steap as the hill you where in. I managed to keep an avarage speed of about 75km/h.

    But then again I had skis. (and a shitload of stanima)

  • @PotatisSlottet Yeah, I'm better on skis anyway, and they are much faster. The main issue with blades is stability, plus the bindings on mine weren't the same as skis, and had a habit of coming off when I hit bumps at high speeds. That 13km run wasn't in alp d'huez was it?

  • @willyboy555 I never tried blades, so I wouldnt know much about that, but I se the problem of stability. The 13 km pist was in the Austrian alps, Bad Gastein. A red piste going around the Schlossalm peak down to Bad Hofgastein. You can find a map by searching Bad Gastein on google.

  • @willyboy can't be..... i presume u mean serene...and thats 16km

  • Fake!

    Snow doesn't exist!

  • Surely doing it on skis would be faster. More surface area and all that.

  • @MrMadheadmike True, but then it wouldn't have been so embarrassing for everybody else on the slope when they realised I had smoked them on blades. People. Hate. Blades. I don't even like them, but acting like a prick for a day with complete impunity on blades was far more fun than if I had been on skis.

  • @willyboy555 To be fair, I don't think the other people on that slope were anywhere near as competitive as you are, or you think they are. It's still a fair achievement: I've tried blades and when you pick up speed, they are devilish to control.

  • @MrMadheadmike I agree, the others didn't know they were in a race, and to be honest, the only person I was racing was myself.

  • @MrMadheadmike yere skis are faster due to stability and control. that surface area example isnt true as more surface area the slower it is due o friction, thats why skis are soo much faster than snowbords. But skis are faster than blades as on blades you have hardley and stability and the kick you get when you come form a steep bit onto a smother bit is ridiculas and can easily throw you off.

  • @beneaton95 I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you about surface area being indirectly proportional to speed, because the reason skiing (snowboaring, blading, etc) works to begin with is due to the hydrogen bonding experienced by water. Namely, the water on the bottom of your skiis (or whichever) and that of the snow. So you see, the more area you have, the faster you should go. Take an extreme example of having only the sole of your feet's worth of surface area.

  • @beneaton95 Following on from previous reply: Take an extreme example to illustrate this. If you only had the sole of feet's worth of surface area, there would be too much pressure for any 'sliding' ie movement to occur. Whereas, if you considered yourself on a huge sheet of ski material, you'd travel very indeed. So, by physics and chemistry alone, you should now agree that greater surface area equates to greater speed (given all other variables stay the same).

  • Hahahaha !!! What ur did is just so fucking easy !!! u just go straight and for a black one, this one is really really easy one !

  • It's all about perspective. From my perspective you're a hero (not) and snow blades are shit (fact).

  • @jjh99uk Wow, that's the first witty comment I've had, and I really respect the sarcasm. However, from my perspective, I had fun taking this vid, and you are just another bloke with nothing to do on a saturday (maybe you finished your hourly wank early? I don't know) other than watch an amateur blading vid with a 50% rating. From my perspective, you are even more lame than my lame video. Funny how half of youtubers are blading connoisseurs.

  • In fairness thats quite quick for blades. I love both skiing & snowboarding & there are some 100% correlations between attitutes and ability. The more skiers hate on boarders & visa versa the worst their own abitlity. The more people look at & rate/compare the color of runs the worst they are. I know it now sounds hypocritical but I do dis bladers, I will work on that......enjoy the season all!

  • @willyboy555 Actually didn't get a chance to knock one out until later as I just caught your vid as I was heading out my front door to shred the fresh powder in les Gets. I used to snow blade when I was younger so take my insult with a pinch of salt but having moved on to ski as a semi pro I feel I have the right to insult blades. I board now anyway so I actually have no rights what so ever I guess. I'm glad you had fun. You're here for a good time not a long time.

  • @jjh99uk I wipe my ass every day, so I think that gives me the right to comment on assholes like you by your logic. Semi-pro.... Doubtful, wouldn't a semi pro have tons of vid's showing you skiing?? As it happens, I am a skier, I tried blades for a couple of days because I won a free lesson. For a guy who is apparently in Les Gets, you sure spend a long time on your computer. I'd recommend social interraction as a way to pass the time, you need practise.... Buddy.

  • @willyboy555 Ha, I tried to show my comment was not meant to be malicious and that I was just having a bit of a laugh and you come back with that. Turns out are an arse hole. My bad

  • i've seen blues steeper than that

  • It takes guts to blade that Yeti slope, I have snowboarded it, but still I think it's the easiest black slope of the Portes du Soleil and region, definitively would be a red one in Chamonix.

  • @chupanibre001 I'd have to agree, it wasn't a difficult run at all, a couple of days earlier it was covered in moguls, but Mr. Piste Basher destroyed them.

  • Gay blades

    

  • Come to the Rocky Mountains and you'll see a real Black Run...

  • Comment removed

  • Haha youre skiing on blades! Wow, not that impressive dude, not meaning to hate but yeahh

  • haha where is that ? in the alps that would be a red run and not a black run :P

  • @NGFtheme funny you should say that, its in the alps, and its steeper than it looks from the camera's perspective.

  • @willyboy555 no, just look at the hills around that hill. Sry but it's not steep :P what place is it ?

  • @NGFtheme you have just proved my point. YES the hills opposite look steep BECAUSE the run I am on is steeper. The run opposite was blue, and besides, your argument is invalid, as the sign at the top clearly states that it's black. Think about it, from the camera's perspective, my run would look flat(ish) if not for the trees etc pointing out otherwise, so the run opposite me looks even steeper. It's Les Gets on the France/Switzerland border.

  • @willyboy555 What's considered black differs. It's hard to get 1 set of criteria, because of fluctuating snow quality that make a run harder, etc.

    I've skied black runs that would qualify as reds anywhere else, and reds that are certainly black by normal standards.

  • @MsSkodge Precisely. I'm not disputing that this run isn't the hardest out there - far from it - but all I set out to do was have fun, and fly past everybody else on the run.... ON BLADES! Mission accomplished, and plus one to you for a (rare) valid comment.

  • why the hell are the skis to your left so small?

  • Filmed with a potatoe :)

  • @AutospotNL haha, filming this was a nightmare, first go i wiped out when my blade came free, second go my camera stopped working because the battery froze, third go i warmed it up first so it wouldnt freeze, but then the lens steamed up!

  • @willyboy555 hahaha I know the feeling, had the trouble last year

  • @AutospotNL he must have looked like the biggest idiot going down the hill with that strapped to his head.

  • wow nice i would have done it slower but nice video reminds me of the happy ski holidays i had through out my life^^ well now i snowboard and it's more of a challenge for me(skiing got to easy)^^

  • The worst part of those steep hills at the bottom of a mountain is the fact that you have to go from 10-30 mph to 0 or you'll hit a building or a person.

  • When Les Gets is ACTUALLY well pisted for once xD

  • haha blades

  • WTF with all the mean comments? I love skiing and matey who did this obviously does too. Good luck to you bro. If it gives you the buzz then happy days. If anyone else is so small minded as to be offensive then they need to check themselfs.

  • i like how all the comments are dissing him, if youre all so good prove it with a vid not pussy little words

  • Fair play, didnt look the steepest black on camera but respect where its due, never tried blades as i prefer to board but that was impressive given the fact you were on blades, ignore the children on here.

  • i would say it was a kilometer or that you were going 45 mph. it was also a really easy black run. HOWEVER because you were on blades i have to admit that was very impressive. ive only skied so i can imagine how hard that is

  • Why cant people understand that POV perspective on camera will not do the angle of the slope any justice?! I am not a skier, but a climber. I often taken photos and videos of horrendously steep summits and edges that I dangle off but when I show them to people they look like the ski equivalent of a nursery slope!

    People need to understand this before they shoot their mouth off making ridiculous comments - I would hazard a guess most of you have never skied in your lives.

  • you guys are idiots. From Point of view it always looks much slower and flatter, I can easily believe this.

  • not black. and you weren't even going 40 mph. not that fast

  • @unlimited00 do the math, 1000 metres in 50 seconds is an average of 45mph, not allowing for acceleration and deceleration, and the sign at the top.... remind me what colour that was? Also if you had ever tried blades (don't) you would realise why it's difficult to go any faster than that.

  • @willyboy555 No, do the maths

  • too slow...

  • black run? LOL.....are you kidding me.....thats blue for sure or maybe a tougher green, but black? LOL....no effing way, sorry dude

  • im a snowboarder, and i could of rid this in about 30 seconds.

  • snowblades = dislike

  • yeah you suck, this is slow, bitch. gayblades is gay anywayz

  • where is this?

  • Black runs were i go consist of ice and rocks, not this stuff

  • anyone who uses snowblades, especially on their last day, needs a kick in the face.

  • Comment removed

  • @screamingbloodyjake Wow, I guess your right, I... I really needed to hear that from somebody....... Having said that, NO. You can bitch and moan all you like, and recycle every put down you have ever heard, but it still wont change the fact that this video is staying up, along with my ever increasing spirits! Cheers for taking the time to comment, it just makes me feel all warm inside. Happy holidays you "gay little faggot".

  • @willyboy555 I liked the vid dude, I'm going to val d'isere in an hour and a half, I should sleep but I'm buzzing, watching ski videos to quench my excitement :P.

    Looked great man, often runs look slow on cam, but that didn't!

    Can't wait to get out there, ignore the cunts bad mouthing.

    Happy holidays dude!

  • @willyboy555 ugh, what

    I apologise, my uneducated brother posted that, i'll take the comment down now, I've just found out about this -.-

    In other news, nice vid!

  • meeehh i'd give tht a blue ro diamond tht is slightly steep

  • i go down that faster and better and im 14....

  • Fruit Booter

  • Where is this? Looks like a pretty flat black... Nice skiing by the way :)

  • @skibox57 No, Lil Kim is

  • You're on Snowblades - Therefore you are rendered irrelevant!! Get proper skis you chump!!

  • lol, you suck

  • you have lss little ski syndrome ride real skis -_-

  • wow, how long did it take you to get that good at blading haha.

  • i go faster than this, and im 5ft nothing and 16 :/ your pretty shit

  • @Jamesbarker2006 clearly you have LMS (little man syndrome), and if you are as fast as you say you are, you are welcome to prove it.

  • nice run

  • Well that was just about the flattest and easiest "black run" I have ever seen

  • @Corklord listen cocklord; can i call you cocklord? ok good... look at the black sign at the top, inverted commas are not needed, and maybe because im holding the camera it doesnt look as steep, but i average 40mph, and the only reason i didnt go faster was because at the time i was wearing blades, which are much more unstable at high speeds than ski's. im going again this year, so ill pick an even steeper black, and go even faster, just for you amigo.

  • @willyboy555 It was probly designated a black run, but they err on the side of caution when identifying runs. If it's a "blue and a half" they'll make it a black. So even tho this was pretty steep, it wasn't a tough black by any standard. Everyone arguing that it's not a black is retarded, read the sign, it obviously is, but there also should be no argument coming back to them that it's super steep or anything, we can see from the video it's not a difficult run at all.

  • @MrJD1291 Well in europe we have green (beginner) blue (beginner) red (advanced) and black (advanced+), so if anything it was a tricky red. I agree, it wasnt a tough black, but it was tough going downhill on blades at those speeds. this was purely to see how fast blades are in comparison to ski's - not very - and i chose this run because it was steep enough to get some good speed, but not so steep that it would kill me and destroy my camera if I fell off. Cheers for clearing things up.

  • @willyboy555 its not the speed at which you go down the slope that counts ;)

  • @feli151 if you are going for speed and nothing else then it does. If i wanted to post a lame video of me skiing how its supposed to be done on blades, i dont think a single person would want to watch it. speed = fun.

  • @willyboy555 heh, inverted commas. Isn't UK's education system awesome? :)

  • @skibox57 yes, as the black sign at the top clearly demonstrates.... its a bit easier than most, but it was de-mogulled a couple of days earlier, before that it was pretty challenging.

  • ahahaha. funny

  • Looks like an easy blue rather than black.. nice place though

  • @Zenwork yes, an easy blue, its all just a trick, i put the camera on fast forward, and spent hours bending the chair lift poles to make the slope look steeper, and painted the blue sign at the top black..... it cost me £3million to do it, but i think it was worth it. Dick.

  • lol you drive like me :D

  • Snow blades are so fucking gay

  • @JustCantDraw not as gay as you sucking your uncles dick whilst trawling through endless hours of 'gay' skiing videos. Are u a conisseur of all methods of snow transport. How about this, stop being a pathetic little dick cheese and go out and have some fun rather than sit at a computer screen slandering people for their epic videos. Enough said.

  • @willyboy555 Gotta trawl through hours of gay videos like this because it's not winter yet... skiing sucks in all.

  • @JustCantDraw How stupid can you be to be actively searching for skiing videos when you think it sucks? Are you educated at all? And by the way, cheers for admitting that you do trawl through hours of gay videos, it was a really good come-back.

  • Wow, that was impressive, nice one man, this year, im working at Belle Plagne in France? Can't wait! I wish I could ski like you.

  • Well ill be one of the first to say well done!, all these immature idiots are criticising you for no reason at all, just searching for videos to leave all their negativity on, probably from their worthless lives stuck on their computer screen, Fuc*ing hate people like that, but to you sir i say Good job! :) 

  • blades are gay

    

  • Looks good I am hoping to ski Selva in March 2012

  • Don't get yourself so wound up man, it must be irritating that your skis are like childrens skis, don't worry the seasons nearly over n daddy might let you have some big boys skis and if your really really really good he might let you have some poles. You ski like your missing a chromosome or 2.

  • I'm not arguing with u man, there is no argument....

    U look Luke a gay fag skiing the easiest black on the worst skis I've ever seen. Full stop

    See no argument

  • @matlegg I look like a 'gay fag'? as opposed to a straight fag, or a faggot heterosexual? and i suppose you being the big man will have skied down the hardest black in the world on the best ski's imaginable? get a grip, a black is a black, and as long as my ski's go faster than anyone else on the mountain i dont give a shit what they look like. and THAT'S something even a supposed king such as yourself cant argue with.

  • get a real pair of ski's

  • I know so slow, reckon he's painted that sign black as well

  • @matlegg dude u spend way too much time on my videos. want an autograph or something? Probably not, you would be too scared to leave the safety of your computer screen to go to the door and collect it in the post. sorry, but you wont win an argument with me, you're just not smart enough.

  • Pussy

  • the slope is pussy ur blades r pussy n ur fucking stupid hat is pussy as well. FUCK OFF

  • @matlegg firstly, thanks for dazzling me with your brilliant english, i wasnt aware it was possible to use pussy 3 times in one sentence. secondly, ill tell you what is 'pussy'; fat, spoiled, spotty-faced little kids like you who have nothing to do but browse youtube for videos all day long, and are so bored of their pathetic life that they have to validate themselves with some smart-arse little comment, not realising how much of a dick it makes them look. THAT, is pussy. bravo.....

  • @matlegg herp derp.

    go back to snowboarding you vaginal slang.

  • @TH3xM3DIC snowboarding sucks ass, its slow, boring and makes even the coolest person look like a dick.

  • @matlegg i agree dude! blades are for pussies who dont know anything about steez

  • How are blades on moguls though? Slightly Suicidal? and off piste ;)

  • they are not too bad, moguls you just take a bit slower, and off piste you just have to lean back a bit further on them so the front of the blade doesnt jam in and you faceplant. they make for some interesting skiing put it that way.

  • Fair enough then mate! Were you using a video camera or your phone?

    And get some proper skis next time ;)

  • video camera, albeit not a very good one. haha, yeah everyone says that, but blades are infectious, once you try them they take hold of you....

  • No offence mate but it hardly looks like its a thousand meters long... and to be honest it looks to me like its playing in fast forward.

  • @SwiftDx Well i didnt measure the thing, but its the estimate i was given. and i agree, it does look like a fast forward play, but thats because its extremely hard to hold a camera and keep balance at those speeds, so the camera wobbles a lot. you can tell its not FF because the sound is normal on it. it took me two tries, the first i fell at the bottom.

  • that was fucking sick

  • That black run looks really scary I wouldnt turn on that run cuz im not that good I would just keep falling down on that type of run im more of the blue and red. Is the chair lift really scary cuz i go on a ski trip in december and I have to use a chair lift and Ive never used one in my life. The only lift I used was a pole one and one which looks like an elavatour.

  • This video really doesn't do it justice.

    That run is alot steeper than it looks on there.

  • yeah thanks mate, i thought that when i looked at it after, you can tell how fast it is by the chair lift poles goin past but it looks like a blue on here. les gets is a great resort, how mant times u been?

  • Just once mate, a couple of years back.

    Yeah it is great.

    Looking to get away next Feb, but probably going somewhere else.

  • turning just wastes too much energy. thats why i go straight down. tell me what you think.
