ROLLER SKATES VS. ROLLERBLADES - Which One Is Best For You? MOXI Roller Skates - K2 Inline Skates 

YESSSS

I want sPEED

When you say performance if you are talking about speed then on quads there are things you can do like changing your wheel bearings for ones that go faster. I love the aesthetics of quads but, when in doubt go with your gut instinct when making a choice😊💕

Alexis Thora So basically i can still go nyoom?

Alexis Thora thanks! I ended a ordering a nice pair of quads for beginners, and I’m looking to get some better bearings to install :) And yeah, I pretty much just meant the speed

This legit made me laugh!!! 😂 but, yes safety is sexy too!

@@AlexisThora glad it did!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same hahaha

Do you mean the boy key?🍌...

Same i was told quads witch is the 2 one side and 2 on the other but then i tryed inline then i was like i was lied to

Same!

Same! With skates I felt like my back/front balance was thrown off but with inline skates I felt it was similar balancing on high heels which just made it seem “easier” to me

I’m hearing this quite a bit, I think it comes down to how you carry and transfer your weight. It took me a little while to figure that out. I hope you are enjoying your skates whether they are in-line or quads 😊 thanks for sharing!

Ahh me too

Thank you! This is a big part of why I started this channel 💕⚡️

Ikrr

😬

True

@@We_Have_Dragons ?

It’s that skate joy! Whether on inlines or quads it just feels good! Thanks for the support.

It calms me down and makes me feel like a baddie lol

I prefer them as well, I’m a speed skater

Same, just ordered them honestly just for the looks and after watching the video I don't regret a thing 👌🏼

@@EffyLand Samee I don’t regret it they’re so fun and cool but one day I wanna get a skate board and roller blades too

Me too! Ordered them yesterday. My ankles kinda suck so I think the added balance of the quad wheels are gonna help me out. Haven’t skated in 12 years!

@@Avividmemory Woah 12 years is a lot!! It's nice that you're skating again:)

@BapsH It’s awesome that you are getting back into it! Try some ankle stretches and strengthening movements off your skates it will definitely help you when your on them. 😊

Look up impala skates! They have some nice aesthetic inline ones!

So many people say this! Try looking up artistic inlines they are inline skates that look like roller/ice skate boot. Which ever skate you like make sure you read the reviews before purchasing 😊 Glad you like the video, thanks for checking it out!

Get impalas

I was looking for roller blades and impala makes very cute and aesthetic ones!

@@ahappyfrenchtoast2669 impalas are really uncomfortable imo.

Same! I love having both you won’t regret it :)

I have quads in a good condition and I'm trying to sell them I have rode them only 2 times if you want to bay them for 30 dollars (I can lower it)I have got then for 50 dollars and they are good quality!

@@thegoodchannel9688 were you able to sell them? you could try posting on mercari/depop/ebay/etc if not

@@pepperspikes1849 I did sell them already! But thanks. Have a great day!

Hey!How do u work out with them?

Haha I'm the opposite, switched over to quads from inlines recently, and while they're harder, I feel so much more confident in them

Same I tried quads and I kept falling over and having to REALLY work for the speed I wanted

I have a very important question PLEASE ANSWER. Is there a difference with turning? I skate inline and it takes a few seconds to turn while I see people with quads being able to spin no problem. It’s harder to turn or steer with inlines for me and I was wondering if there’s the same case with quads?

@@Diana-kk6qz Ive noticed spinning on quads tends to be easier because you’re on more wheels, but on inlines you can spin faster I think. But if you’re talking about turning turning, like left or right, I haven’t noticed a huge difference between the two. Although if anything I’d say i have more control with my inlines.

@@amayagrace4798 Okay thanks! That was really helpful. I ended up fixing my inline skates so the search is over anyway

Thanks for checking out the video Sean, I really appreciate it 😊. You are absolutely right you should definitely pick what you like after all it is your life so do what makes you happy.

where did you get yours? (:

one second i will go check

@@elsie4802 do u live in dubai

@@lily-qx2kv no unfortunately not, but I found a pair that I like a lot: Powerslide Next Grey 80 Freeskates. Would these be good for a beginner?

@@elsie4802 yes those would be great i also recommend getting wrist guards and knee pads along with the skates to protect u if u fall

Thanks for checking out the video kiploca I really appreciate it 😊 Quite a few people say this. I think it comes down to how you transfer your weight in your feet. If you don’t mind sharing what do you find you struggle with most?

@@AlexisThora No problem. Great video btw. They feel more slippery and I lose my balance more easily. I'm way more shaky on them than on my rollerblades. I've been practicing though, as I do want to get better at them. I was really surprised but I see that a lot of people in the comments are on the same boat lol. Just depends on the person I guess.

Yea same...As a kid inline was my go to...and I stopped for at least 15-10 yrs once my aunt threw them away.....I tried the 4 and I've never felt to unbalanced and scared to skate and everyone told me it was easier. I just bought a pair of inline recently and complete opposite..lol

YOUR PFP- NOT CHRIS 😭

@@loserbehaviour OH YES MY GOOD STRANGER OH YES

@@_TSC_46 NOOOOO 😭🙏🙏🙏

I know why you decided that sksksks same reason

luckyy, mine was in a bad state, it was pretty heavy, loose on my feet, and it's a mess in the inside.. but i still play with it, i've been saving my money for a new one :)

I grew up on rollerblades, I tried and keep trying roller skates and they nearly kill me every time.

@@joycecita what seriously? Like quads are much easier. Also quads kinda look dumb. I hate that stereotype that all girls choose quads and guys only ever skate on inlines. I'm a female and I love my inlines. Inlines are harder they're literally like ice skates just for skating on concrete, but also inlines are so much better than quads. Also you can do lots of different things with inlines. Quads are more for skating parties and roller derby, and Inlines can be used like anywhere. It depends on the kind of inlines, but you can do aggressive skating, speed skating, slalom.

@@sofijasofija2867 I like quads better. Because I think they’re better

@@sofijasofija2867 This is all your opinion bruh you don’t have say they look dumb that’s just rude

@@epiphany5653 it’s my opinion, right.

Yaaasss growing a butt FTW! Lol. I want to try out slalom/dance skating on inlines it looks like some much fun. Thanks for checking out this video 😊

For years bruh😭🤣🤣

Thank you so much! I am glad you like it 💕

I’m soooo happy to hear that 😊 Happy skating I hope it brings you lots of joy!!

Impala just introduced inline skates!!!! buy themm

@@lilythechimkin9323 I saw and they’re soo cute 😫

It is so crazy when coincidences like that happen, it’s like “ok internet you can stop knowing everything about me now” lol. I hope you get your hands on a pair of Beach Bunny’s soon. I’m glad it helped 😊

Thank you for checking it out 😊

Thank you 😊 I’m glad you liked the video and that I was able to help!

Thanks for sharing! I was making my recommendation based on someone with no experience with either but, totally should have taken into account that people have experience and backgrounds with similar sports/activities 😊

Oh no I hope your injury isn’t too bad and heals quickly. Skating alone with some music can feel so good.

Thank you for checking it out 😊 glad it helped!

Thanks for checking it out and great choice!!

Thank you for sharing that with me! I’m glad you were able to find the video helpful. Hopefully you’ve been able to get your skates and are ready to tear it up this summer 😊

@@AlexisThora I got my skates a few weeks ago and I’m slowly getting used to it😅

Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear you found it helpful 😊

I am so happy to hear that 😊 Happy Skating

Thanks for checking it out! Glad it helped 😊💕

That’s awesome!! Can’t wait for you to start skating!!

I’m glad it was helpful and thank you 😊

What did u choose?

I appreciate that you took the time to write this out 😊 Great advice imo! Since posting this video I don’t skate with any toe stop because I’m really enjoying jam skating and if I become interested in park I will put them in. Hope you have a great day!! Happy skating ⚡️💕

This is really interesting, I want to learn and know nothing at this point ! I hope you don’t mind me asking if You have any recommendations for skates and if you think 3 wheel skates are good? :)

@@farcrazy99 i don’t mind at all! it really depends on what kind of skating you want to do, and whether you want to potentially expand into other types of skating. first of all i will address your question about 3 wheel skates, sometimes called tri skates: they are faster than inline skates with 4 wheels bc of less contact area with the ground (so less friction), but bc of the 3 large wheels replacing 4 smaller wheels, you have a taller but shorter wheelbase. this means you’re higher off the ground and also have less longitudinal stability, so you are at greater risk of falling forwards or backwards than with a 4-wheel setup. the taller wheels (or you could say greater diameter, same thing here) are also the reason they are faster than 4-wheel skates. because of the shorter wheelbase, greater wheel height/diameter, and greater maximum speed, tri skates are not recommended for beginners who have not already established basic balance on inline skates. technically it is doable for beginners, but the learning curve would just be steeper. there are different kinds of inline skates in general. inlinewarehouse.com (the sort of sibling company to derby warehouse) has a basic rundown of it here: www.inlinewarehouse.com/fitlc/skates/inline-skate-buying-guide.html but long story short, if you are sure you only want to do recreational skating, recreational skates with soft boots, similar to the ones shown in this video, are fine (e.g. brands like K2). on the other hand, if you’re pretty sure you want to eventually expand into maybe “aggressive inline” (aka park skating) and/or slalom and/or freestyle etc., then i would recommend a skate with a hard boot. usually “urban” skates are good for multiple styles, but inline warehouse’s categories of “slalom” or “freestyle” will also work. brands i’d suggest include flying eagle, FR/seba, powerslide, and micro. i just got the flying eagle f5s eclipse skates, my first pair of inline skates. i didn’t wanna spend too much, but i wanted a quality pair that i could eventually use for multiple purposes, and the f5s fit the bill perfectly for me. the frames are removable, and the front and back wheels have optional rockering, which means i can raise them a few mm in order to have more maneuverability (which also comes with a tradeoff of less stability, so i will wait to do that until i’ve mastered the traditional flat setup). there’s also a soul plate + frame kit that is compatible with these so that i could eventually turn them into “aggressive”/park skates. the frames are also laterally adjustable, meaning i can move them a few mm to the inside or outside edge of the boot to center them correctly for my feet (the inline warehouse youtube channel has a video on this in a bit more detail). these are not necessary features for beginners, but they are good to keep in mind if you do plan on doing more than recreational skating. another thing to keep in mind is that many urban/freestyle/slalom skates don’t tend to come with a heel brake, but usually you can get one to put on them. it will just not come automatically included, unlike with most recreational skates. i hope that helps you! if not, or if some bits i didn’t explain very clearly, then the subreddit r/rollerblading also has a lot of information, and also no one will judge you for asking “beginner” questions on there. other youtube channels about inline skating can help you out too! i hope you have fun doing any type of skating, whether quad, inline, ice, or otherwise; skating is the best!

Ya I understand you with that. It’s like with roller skates it’s easier to fall forward or backwards depending where you are putting your weight. I hope you learn skates soon too! Let me know how it goes 😊

Thank you!! Glad you like it ☺️

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks for checking it out! I’m happy it helped 😊

Thank you so much! I am glad you like it 😊

Glad it was able to help! Hopefully you will overcome your fear and be able to do both ☺️

Thank you 😊

Thanks for sharing 😊 I absolutely love ice skating so I definitely understand why you like roller blades/in-lines!

Thanks for checking it out! Glad it helped

You’re welcome :-) I’m glad I was able to help

Have they arrived yet? Hopefully you’ll be roller dancing in no time. ☺️

Hope you enjoy your skates as much as your rollerblades or just to have them for the fun! Also, thank you!

Thank you 😊 Glad you liked it

Thank you! I’m happy if was helpful ☺️

Glad I could help 😊

Thanks Samantha 😊 I’m so glad you found it helpful. I’m up in Canada so, we don’t have to worry about rink closures because for like 6 months of the year it’s frozen outside which can suck lol. But, yes definitely get some in lines you will love it!

Did you end up getting any? I was a figure skater for about 8 years (quit long ago) and I’m hoping that my ice skills are transferable to inlines!

Hey Sally, check out @inlinefigureskating on Instagram there are a ton of figure skaters who use in-lines for off ice training. I’m also curious did you end up getting a pair Samantha?

Glad you liked it 😊 well I’m in Canada so if your from here then maybe. Look into artistic inlines they are really similar to figure skates.
