Roller Skaters Try Inline Skates (AKA Rollerblades)

In today's episode of Planet Roller Skate, Pigeon and I take our new inline skates for a spin in Southern California. We talk about some of the differences we notice and what we like and don't like when it comes to quads vs inlines, roller skates vs rollerblades. Which one do you prefer?

I have such serious pavement envy. I wish I lived somewhere that has huge smooth paths like that.

[audreyh.]

These videos make me want to buy pastel clothes, move to California, and just roller skate

Nobody:

Not a soul:

Pigeon: what’s an easy

Aww the lady asking if y’all wanted her to take a picture of all of you.. bless her 💗

As a rollerblader, the first time I tried “normal” skates, I was soo confused. Its kinda hard to retrain your brain 6+ years of rollerblading and figure skating

[sabrinadavis]

I have a video idea. How about a video on basic tools that should be in your skate bag or that all roller skaters should have. I love your videos Indie

I've been a blader since I was 9. I recently tried on a pair of roller skates last month and boy....WHAT A CHALLENGE! I almost ate shit a few times and just wasn't feeling it. I'll stick to my inlines for decades to come ❤

I’ve skated in both . When you girls where coming down the ramp, reminded me of when me and my siblins used to go down the incline streets in Mexico zigzagging our way down. Never knew how I didn’t get hurt 😂

Me, a rollerblader, "How do you turn in roller skates?!?!?! Witchcraft."

[rickymullins]

Remember if you’re going from quads to rollerblade, you have to trust your wheels to hold when you lean to turn. Do not keep the blade straight up and down when turning. It can be a scary feeling at first to lean your skates with your body to turn.

As an inline skater, you guys were STRESSING ME OUT lol. You didn't have on helmets despite never really doing this, you didn't know how to stop, and you got insanely close to an edge at some point. I aged like 40 years XD

[paranoiaocean]

I’m a figure skater and tried rollerblading for the first time and I tried used my non existent toe picks to stop (I was barely moving and I wanted to stand still and fell on my face)

[photondebuger]

When she said "i dont know how to stop on these" i was just like use the brake then i see oh wait...they dont have brakes lol wut

[thisisntlindsey]

**them talking about how weird the blades are and how small they are and that they’re stiff** Me: *laughs in figure skating*

[danb]

I’m impressed that you did this with no heel stops and no helmets 😅

[Lena-xzxw]

I think it's actually easier to draw a curve on inline skates.

[isabelmohan]

I started learning to skate in roller blades, so when I tried learning how to roller skate it was really hard.

This video could not have come at better time because I am an inline skater that is currently learning to roller skate! So far I feel roller skates are very hard to maneuver in and hurt my feet but I am hoping my feet just need to get used to it. With blades, the insole keeps my feet super comfy while in skates, everything is just hard all over. It's crazy how different they are. I want to be good at roller skating, tho! I noticed a lot of people choose one over the other and that's not going to be me. They are both fun! So if you're trying to figure out which one you should choose- I say why choose!? It's okay to enjoy more than one set of wheels. Thanks for another fun video <3

As someone who uses rollerblades it would’ve been easier to go down the ramp normally while holding on to the rail lol

[constellationnova]

What's funny is that I started on Rollerblades, and so they're what I know and am used to. This year I'm hopefully getting a pair of Moxi Beach Bunnies as a graduation gift, so your difficulties with the rollerblades will be the mirror version of my struggles on skates!
