[@andreaalexander2912]

If you are a beginner to rollerskating , try heelys or the extended wheel parts that you can put on your shoe. in the beginning they will help you with your balance and stability (That’s how I learned). Then Choose which skates. On inline skates it is easier to skate but if you ever fall, it is hard to get up without help. On quad skates It’s waaaaaaay harder to skate, takes longer to learn, but easy to get up. I hope this comment helped some people :)

[@naiyn685]

[@NFS-shade]

@@naiyn685 hey, same here. What a coincidence. What did you pick?

[@chriskater]

I have quads. Little by little I have gained more stability and confidence. Quads have this unbeatable 80's vibe to them that In-lines will never have. I feel that In-lines are way more easy to use, as the foot has a longer platform of wheels at the front and rear, which provides more balance. Quads on the other hand are more difficult to master, but once you do, the feeling is unique. Aesthetically quads look much better on your feet; in-lines look like you have skis on your feet.

[@dequariusforester8081]

Mm makes sense. Totally respectable. Problem for me is the only reason I do sports is to go to the extreme so I chose aggressive inline skating, which basically levels out. I skate, surf, and bmx, so the thrill of having something challenging and dangerous is all I look for out of the things is do, which really made me choose the aggressive inlines. I never use my board or bike as a form of transport, only to do tricks and hit the park up. So far, the inlines are crazy fun.

[@ataleoftwomeows8086]

@@dequariusforester8081 yh that's why I wanna get inline sober quads like sure quads are pretty but nothing beats going crazy fast and feeling that rush.

[@devdawg22]

I mean...quads are more 70s vibe and blades have a 90s vibe. Though the idea of inline skates is very old...the actual Rollerblade was marked in 1981 and saw a big upswing g in the late eighties into the 90s ...sooooo I guess I can factually disagree that blades can never have an 80s vibe

[@Ely-yi6sb]

Nah, easy to use? Show us how many slalom tricks you can do for example, and as for looking inlines for figure skating like snow white are way prettier than quads.

[@diaryofnricom163]

Thanks for this. I always felt very unbalanced on quad skates. I am a 54 year old man and I started quad roller skates last year but never got comfortable even after putting about 8 sessions of an hour each. Today, I tried rollerblades for the first time and within 10 minutes, I was in a much better position than quad skates. Never skated in my childhood and find it very challenging to do it at this age.

[@Carrorolen]

So do people often just choose one or the other, or is it common to have a pair of inlines AND a pair of quads - for different occasions? :)

Both. For different moods tbh.

[@dracomalfoylover3127]

My advice is, if you want skates that will be easier for outdoor skating pose to skating in let's say a smooth grounded gym area, I'd really suggest inline skates! In my experience, inline skates are quite stable and easy to learn. Inline skate can be used on sidewalks and bumpy roads while quads you'll probably lose your balance and trip. I will say though, if you are looking for something more aesthetic then quads might be your pick.

[@AmandaTitus85]

I’ve heard that people start of with inline skates and later get quads. I don’t roller skate much and I’m just getting into them as well as skateboarding so I’m not really sure :)

[@Texas-girll]

Inlines are easier to learn. But in my opinion quads are so much fun. And the variety of wheels changes to the feel soooo much.

[@dequariusforester8081]

Texas Hmm. Well when you start doing aggressive inline skating the difficulty shoots beyond quads. But that’s just with aggressive inline skating 😂 I’ve been doing it for 2 years now and I love it

[@dustbitten]

I like to go fast and the stopper in the front of roller skates always trips me up. When you run in rollerblades your body weight is shifted forward and it’s almost like running on the tips of your toes so the transition just doesn’t work for me. I wish I knew how to use them better just to dance but roller skates feel way too clunky and awkward for me.

[@jays8433]

1997-2000 I used cobra roller skates and loved them. The jam sessions, the gliding, the shuffling with crews. Just awesome. Very 80s THEN! I went inline for high speed for a couple years and lost everything when I tried to go back to regular skates. But nothing was cooler than the people who really knew how to use regular skates at the domes.

[@janetjacobsen5850]

Thanks for this video- it's very helpful. I'm leaning towards quads for the stability and because I don't want to pick up much speed.

[@JETJOOBOY]

Quads are NOT necessarily more stable.. It depends on the wheelbase . Short base can feel very tippy and whizzy.. I had the "privilege" by accident of having the use of a size 5 & 8 boot of identical build... (UK sizes don't ask) and the difference was night and day...

[@brendielahooha]

hey! beginner quad skater here. ive been quad skating for the past few weeks, almost every friday i go to the skating rink and skate. personally, quads are much better, for it really only took me 5 fridays to learn how to skate forward, turn, and how to fall. im currently using my friend’s inline skates and theyre not that hard for me to skate in actually! im ordering my own pair of quad skates this friday ^^ i suggest quad skates to begin with before inline skates, because in my experience, itll be easier to learn inline skates. its all to preferences really. just get what floats your boat ❤️ i dont really plan on learning inline skates, im just really bored and skate in my friend’s skate since she left them here lol. i hope this helps!

[@AskZch]

your comment is so confusing that I got a headache. You are saying stuff like. "i suggest quad skates to begin because in my experience itll be easier to learn inline skates" if you said THAN inline skates that sentence would make sense. I skated on both, when the inlines were "new", tho I didn't skate for decades, I don't recall much difference it's easy to get used to either...

I prefer quad skates. I have no control on inlines and it's really hard to get around corners. That said, I think inlines would be better than quads outdoors for those who can use them.

Yes you can, search for artistic inline skates like snow white

[@katiesautter]

Hello! I’m a beginner trying to decide between the two types and could use an opinion- I want to go distance on an (often) smooth ped/bikeway, (Greenbelt in Boise Idaho). There are a few areas where the asphalt is very rough (though still flat) and a few areas where tree roots have turned up the path several inches (raised enough to want to avoid them on my road bike). There are even a few areas with concrete, with the typical indents between concrete slabs. I assume no matter which skate type, I’ll probably still have to avoid the big bumps? Also to note: I don’t have amazing balance. I’d appreciate your opinions on what might be best! Thanks!

[@summerherring2935]

inline all the way...only thing that wouldnt suit you is the balance factor but with practice you can straighten that out as well

[@JETJOOBOY]

This is my question.. To put it in bicycle terms would be the question . - and the answer to THAT is always ."a Compromise"! BUT I have nothing to compare against . I have only ever run short base "quads" (hehe inline were not even thought UP back then.. I am ancient)

[@JETJOOBOY]

OFF ROAD! It is a thing that can really change the perception of the sport . I am glad to see more and more Wheelchairs adapted for adventure journey

[@Illestrapper]

i would say inline, the skates are far more maneuverable, though technique is important it is more forgiving than roller skates, the brake in the back for beginners inspires more confidence, with proper technique the speeds obtainable with roller blades are significantly higher than roller skates, easier to accelerate on roller blades, less weight which is optimal for those who are less in shape but also more optimal for those trying to hit peak performance, larger wheels make small rocks and bumps less dangerous (outdoor of course), etc... I am an avid skater (4 wheel inline, 3 wheel inline, ice skating and roller skates) and will say that for indoors i would suggest roller skates as they are incredibly fun and have a retro vibe but overall for high performance or for beginner use inline is definitely the way to go.

[@atara500]

just in general if you want to use them for travel and going long distances and speed too, inlines are definitely better. i would probably go with inlines

[@robertlozano5284]

On rollerblades which is better 3 or 4 wheels

[@carolineperron9104]

Hi! I am a figure skater and have decided to take on roller skating. I know that the quads are more playful so would those reassemble figure skating more? Thanks !

[@JETJOOBOY]

Weirdly .. I would say yes.. Although to LOOK at.. Inline seem more like Ice Skates.. it really is about the "Wheelbase" (sorry) but the point of 'unbalance' is the point at which you can groove

[@doobadootapes]

I'm also a figureskater but have had to find a way to practice outside of the rink due to the virus. I got the inline skates/blades because it definitely resembles the ice way better. The wheels are in a thin line and you are able to do most of the exercizes and tricks that you can do on the ice. I previously owned quads and can do barely anything on them haha.

[@Ely-yi6sb]

Like a comment above said, weirdly enough inline are way more similar with ice skating than with quad, I remember the first time that I went ice skating and it was the same as rollerblading (Actually easier because the ice is so smooth compared to concrete), the same way to turn on ice you can use on inline, if you have money buy an artistic inline like snow white.

I'm still really new to skating and currently own a pair of 4x90mm wheel inline-skates from K2. Can you help me out selecting the right inline tri skate for me? I'm just looking for suggestions and opinions if you can. I definitely want either 110 or 125 mm Q1: Is the trinity frame from powerslide recommended for beginners or does it actually make it more difficult, and is it worth the difference? Q2: What model tri skate could you recommend me? (I'm looking for a pair that have good support on the feet and ankles I'm a big guy and like I said not the best skater so I need good support and well packed in feet) Q3: Hardboot or softboot other than the breathing of the material what is the big difference? (I think this also relates a bit to the question above, currently I have a softboot skate but tri skates I am higher off the ground.) Q4: Is the difference in fitness skates vs urban skates big enough that I should stay away from one or the other? (They look fairly the same from browsing here at home but they might have differences in support, frames or something that I can't see or don't know about?)

[@skateprorolling6574]

Hi there :) About the 110/125mm recommendation. I should recommend the 125mm only for very advanced riders. It's very big and could feel a bit odd for beginners! The Trinity frame is making the skate more easy to change some things in the future, I would definitely recommend taking a trinity frame / setup :) I would recommend one of the Powerslides, it's a quality very high brand and they are making great skates :) If you are looking for a good supported boot, you should go for a hard shell, since it is giving you the right support, as you are looking for! The difference in the Urban and Fitness skates, it's the goal of skating you have so this is different from skater to skater. Feel free to send us an email with all your questions and thoughts!

Hi Andrew, it depends on what you want to do. You can use them both for crowded areas. If you choose for example the roller skates, you can choose softer cushings, then you would have better maneuverable skate. And if you choose Inline Skates you can go for the 3 wheel skates, which will give you more speed.

[@lowkeyaustin8161]

Best comparison is The quads are basically a car, while in-line are more like motorcycle meaning more agile, and easier to cut corners

[@toby9999]

I can't corner at all on inlines. Quads are way easier on corners. I've never figured out how a straight row of wheels can turn. Inlines are like being on train tracks.

[@puntodelectura]

@@toby9999 It's obvious, you grab lampposts! Well, that's what I did, 'cause I could turn for shit either. Or brake. I'm surprised I'm alive at this point.

[@naomi-pop2115]

I refer quads but I have tried inline and I found that quads are easier for me it depends of how you feel with them tbh

[@korecores]

okay im scared, i feel like the roller blades go really fast and they have a smooth skating thing to them. of course im going to fall sometimes, and i know that, but i want to stick with one. either quads or inline. inlines look cool, which i like, and i also like the retro feeling to quads. i cannot decide on which i want. i know quads are also very fast, if you're careful enough you wont fall. and i do not want kneecaps or any equipment. i used to go to skateland alot. i went skating last year, it was fun with my friend and my brother. i'm most into skates because i have more confidence on those. i have alot of confidence on bikes, but it gets tiring after a bit. skates dont feel tiring after using them for a bit, although your just moving your legs and thats it. it's like skateboarding, both moving your legs and not really anything else. im just here for advice on which is better.

[@Olivia-kz6mq]

Roller skates for sure I have roller skates they are really fun

[@toby9999]

It's a matter of opinion. I think rollers skates look retro and cool while inlines look clunky and clumsy.

[@mardacs16]

Will inlines be a bit easier to learn if you know how to ice skate? I’m just wondering cause the only difference really is that the inlines have wheels.

[@ttcjo]

It will be very similar (for me at least it was very easy to switch between the two), but the stopping is a little different, you get the hang of it easily though.

[@atara500]

with inlines, its a very similar experience to skating. be warned tho, tricks on inlines are WAY harder, for me as an ice skater, i could hardly transfer any of my figure skating tricks onto inlines. the similarity is more on like the way you skate and speed and movement and stuff. not really tricks tho

[@Ely-yi6sb]

Yes, and the opposite also applies, I'm a slalom skater and when I try some tricks on ice it's even easier than on concrete

Guess I need to get a pair of each ! :)

[@aida7212]

Haha thought the same😄

[@Whoskiraaaa]

I dont know which one is easier

[@atara500]

inlines tend to be easier to learn for beginners. other than that it really just depends which you prefer

[@Whoskiraaaa]

@@atara500 ok thanks

[@CharmingNewSociety]

I wish it were more common for blades to be built like quads. I prefer inline wheels, but I hate the sock and hard shell. I like how quad skates are generally like a sneaker with wheels attached.

[@kinqvu4963]

try hockey skates, i prefer them over recreational skates. and also inline skates are stiffer because of the small contact area which is thin and only one line.

[@CharmingNewSociety]

@@kinqvu4963 Yeah, I've looked into them. I wish it were easier to find minimalist looking ones though. They're all so "sporty" looking, with the stripes and big logos and stuff. What I like about the ones they're wearing in the video is they're so simple and elegant looking, like nice shoes that just so happen to have inline wheels. I really hate that sports gear look.

[@selen1054]

You should try pic skates

[@darlingjoely]

I have inline skates but I don’t do roller skating/blading anymore, I do ice skating

[@xarzroth2298]

How long does it take for you to get used to it? I'm thinking to get one it looks pretty cool.

[@darlingjoely]

znemyrkce II inline skates are easy for me bc I do ice skating. Quads are more advanced. It depends how much you rollerskate, I just started using my skates about 5 days ago after not using them for years and I got used to it quite fast

[@xarzroth2298]

@@darlingjoely nais. i know what im gonna buy next week. Thanks!

[@BBWBabeLisa]

I'm a pro qaud skate I recommend them they are really fun I could skate really fast alone on my first Time and all qaud skaters can unite to make a qaud skater

[@aibhaj]

i can barely move with rollerskates, but I'm good at rollerblading

[@Taystee]

I really love how quads look- But agghrhehhah I think the inlines would be easier to learn? What skates are easier for heavier people btw? Edit I’m getting both 😎

[@evelynmiletinova7112]

I'm not an expert, but depending on the type of skate either can be good for heavier people. Hard shell inlines, like urban skates, offer good support for heavy people. But quads in general are good for heavier people because of the even weight dostribution

[@evelynmiletinova7112]

Also inlines are much easier in my experience

[@ST-hc3tq]

*start with quads to get the basics down and plus u can't rlly do shit on Inlines with quads there are hundreds of tricks and dance moves you can learn*

[@gchats]

I want to do both xD

[@SkatePro]

That's even better 🤩

When you got a 2 in 1 but have never used either

[@foxie09]

inlines foreverr!

Do you like horse drawn carriages, or cars?

I'm better on inline but quads are so cute

[@AlehandrosArhangelos]

Roller skates are not steadier or easier to control, they are practically impossible to even do tricks with them for this reason. They are pretty and vintage looking, while rollerblades look more athletic.

[@toby9999]

Most figure and dance skaters use roller skates (as opposed to inlines) because they're easier to do "tricks" on. Inlines excel at speed, out in open spaces outdoors and going in a straight line. The longer the wheelbase, the less manoeuverable they become.

[@viktorijakatavic1261]

I want both🤣

[@nevincaulfield]

Inline!

So inline skates wins
