I have more stability on inline skates. I fall all the time on quads

[andreaalexander]

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 harder to skate, takes longer to learn, but easy to get up. I hope this comment helped some people :)

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.

Quad skates ! I love the imagination and style for quad skating, it's so diverse! I also love that there are more parts of the skates to explore using when you're at the skate park on ramps!

[HeatherPilarMusic]

Both quads & in-lines are great 😉😉😉😉!! Hence, I got them both 😁😁😁

[pashaboss]

you should have included a poll in the end of the video to count the people who gonna choose each of them

[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? :)

[Alexis-ndkw]

thank you so much for this video- i have chosen inline as i wish to maintain my speed for longer periods of time. i also like that they seem more maneuverable.this video was very informative

[raynobleorchestra]

i’m getting quads soon and i’m pumped.
they look much better than inline skates tbh.
but i’m still getting inline skates this christmas.

10/11/20 6:14pm this was one year ago wow but anyway i just got used rollerblades

[staplls.angliqe]

I used quad skates when I was a lot more younger, I probably lost all my experience but I’m most likely going to try inline skates because I’ve never tried them and they seem more fit for me

[Jessica-cwcc]

I love inlines, they feel familiar to me like skiing and ice skating but I'm debating getting quads because they are easy to disguise/convert to shoes for walking.. Im nervous that quads won't have the same feeling to use

[janetjacobsen]

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.

[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.

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.

[Crows-]

with quads I trip all the time because of where the stopper is

[imabloodydinosaur]

Inlines because my birthday is comming up and I have wanted them for years ever since I showed my father a could use Quads plus I have always wanted Inlines science I was 8 and they LOOK AWESOME AS

[valyouablecreationsstudio]

I can’t even move with roller skates! I am really good with roller blades though!🤷🏾‍♀️😂

[mirwena]

But if you are still in doubt, buy both! Support wheelly community :)

[brittanyestrella]

I have both in-line and quad skates, I love them both lol

[katieekim_]

I have always practiced on roller skates and never have practiced on rollerblades and I’m getting some skates and seeing which to get 😅
