Rollerskates vs. Rollerblades

What’s the difference between rollerskates (quad skates) and inline skates (rollerblades)? Which one is easier? Which one is best for your skating?

I've been inline skating for about 25 years now, and still, everytime i put on rollerskates it looks like i dont skate anything at all :/

Friends often ask me which is best, truth is both are best, and skating both makes you better at the other.

Thanks for making rollerblade content! I am learning to rollerblade. There is so much more rollerskating content online so I find your videos super helpful 😊

I can do both, I like to use blades outside, but I use skates at the rink for adult skate nights and stuff like that.

Im very surprised about some of the differences, like the jumping one i thought would be easier on roller skates but i didn’t realise they were heavier. I’m looking into getting some roller blades to try out so this is very insightful

As someone that's tried both, I definitely prefer rollerblades! That being said, I like going dangerously fast to get places instead of doing tricks, so maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Roller blading was so easy for me as a kid but I could never get the hang of skates

I think rollerblading allows us to explore further out. Rollerskating is more restricted to rink. My kids likes rollerskating more. I love rollerblading more.

Very good comparison. ❤

Can you tell me how to fix the inside of my rollerblade because the inside thing keeps rolling like a ball and it’s making me uncomfortable to skate how do you fix that?
Like the rubber thing
It’s like a piece of clothes
It’s not sticky anymore and it’s rolled up to my feet

I have rollerskates but I'd like to try rollerblades, any advice on how to chose the right blades for me?
For example how do I choose between 3 and 4 wheels?

Can you do a video on beginner friendly, lower budget skates and blades? I’m planning on starting this spring and want to get good ones.

I keep seeing your vids and shorts pop up and it makes me wanna get back into rollarblading but I dont wanna over commit incase it doesnt work out, any skates youd reccomend thats on the cheaper side I can beat up a bit to see if I wanna invest in real proper skates?

What wiukd hapoen if one tried to wear rollerblades on one foot and rollerskates on the other?

[goodguyaus]

Dumb thought but I wonder if anyone's ever made rollerskate wheels so narrow that they fit under your sole, and ipso facto, made rollerblade wheelbase shorter than the tip of your toes and the back of the heel.

Which is better for street skating - going over little rocks and uneven pavement?

Blades for outdoors and quads for indoors

[NeonAtary]

I used to have rollerblades as a kid. I want to try and buy one again as an adult. This video is really helpful 🫶

[hiralbhaveshrathod]

Where are your rollerblades from ? Super cool !!!

[jemilambi]

For skating backwards, what is the best?

[Rustyu]

Was also a big adjustment for me going from regular roller blades to inline hockey skates, mainly the wheels being so narrow and not “full profile”
