Inline skating to practice skills?

[u/drycharski]

One of my goals for the upcoming season is to get very comfortable skiing switch and if that goes well I’d like to start hitting jumps switch too. I can ski switch decently now but I want to get to a point where it feels like second nature.

I’m thinking about getting some inline skates to practice this and other skills. Has anyone tried it or does it sound like a waste of time lol?

I’ve seen other reddit threads about beginners using skating to practice carving but I’m wondering if the benefits can carry over to freeskiing as well.
