Many potential online or roller skaters wonder if inline skating (sometimes called rollerblading) or quad skating is easier to master.

Surprisingly, many people - young and old - move much faster on inline skates than on traditional quad roller skates. Is this true and why?


This passage is going to talk about the followings of inline skate:

(1) Why are inline skates easier than quads rollers?

(2) Choose roller skates that you are comfortable with

(3) Quad roller skates or inline skates - which is better for me?

 

(1) Why are inline skates easier than quads rollers?

Many people, both young and old, wear straight skates much faster than traditional quad roller skates." This is because most sophisticated recreational straight skates offer a lot of rigid support for the feet and ankles if they are properly sized to tighten them. The wheels extend forward and backward, which helps balance the skater's forward and backward momentum. Longer wheelbases with larger, thinner wheels are also less sensitive to minor surface irregularities and cracks in outdoor activities. As long as the goal is simple local transportation, individual or group fun, low impact fitness or scenic outdoor skating, inline may be easier to use and more practical.

On the other hand, other new skaters may find that the wide wheelbase offered by traditional quad roller skates helps them overcome their fear of lateral stability. You will have a good sense of security when you have a platform under your feet. However, these skates have all the wheels under the sole and heel of the foot and nothing extending from the head or heel of the skate, so there isn't much front-to-back balance support or stability.

(2) Choose roller skates that you are comfortable with

If beginners are not considering skating goals or skating training, they can choose to learn their comfort zone on traditional indoor quad roller skates or on an outdoor or indoor recreational basis.

These beginners have similar skills and can transfer to whichever skating sport they end up choosing. Most rink programs also allow the use of straight skates and skates in beginner classes.

 

(3) Quad roller skates or inline skates - which is better for me?

If tricks, stunts and other advanced moves are the goal, traditional quads are designed for those things and can offer more freedom with less skill. Inline skating designs have come a long way so that almost anything is possible, but for the novice without specialized inline, single-leg turns, spins and jumps require special effort to use the rigid inline frame with built-in "steering" cushions compared to traditional quads...

Both quad roller skates and roller skates require balance, strength and endurance. The degree of perceived difficulty varies from person to person. If you know what you want to do - speed, aggressiveness, freestyle obstacle skiing, size, etc. - go for the skating that suits your activity and try not to worry about what's easier. What's easiest for you is the one you'll have the most fun with.

Most importantly, if your skating interests go beyond exercise and fun, then the specific roller sports you're interested in will determine the skates, type of training, and other equipment you may need. Learn more about the many roller derby options.
