Which ones do you prefer? Inlines or Roller Skates? Both?
Both: I prefer the quads retro-aesthetic and how they feel when pumping on transition but prefer the inline feel when it's about being out and about. Also tore my inner knee ligaments in a quad-specific way: you can catch WAY more nasty pebbles with what is basically two little skateboards attached to your feet, than with the wheels in one line.
I prefer both besides each skate has it's strength and weaknesses so besides the wheels I would go with roller skates but lines are much faster in speed so yeah but if I don't have the option to choose both I would pick roller skates
Both. Depends on what frame of mind I’m in 🥳✨
Roller skates, I tried inlines before and I was unable to skate they felt so difficult to me
Trying to get into quad skating but I definitely feel what she said about inline skaters feeling like quad skating is dangerous because the wheels don't extend past the boot. Even though it hasn't happen, I feel like I'm going to fall backwards whenever I'm quad skating, so I always take it a lot slower than I would inline skating. Would love to see Moxi come out with inline skates someday!
I started skating in the mid 1960s (quads, obviously) and that’s all I knew until 1998 when I got a pair of Rollerblade in-line skates. I was 37 at that time. I stuck with that for years then when I turned 50 quads were making a comeback so I bought myself a good pair. As soon as I stood up on them I came down hard and almost broke my upper arm. I was so shocked because in my youth I’d never had any accidents or problems with quad skating. Anyway, that fall scared me so bad I gave away my new skates and stuck with my Rollerblades. I’m 62 now. For me, as an older person, I just feel like I have more control and balance on the inline skates. I don’t attempt dancing or tricks, I just skate to feel the joy of the wind on my face and I listen to good music. Skating is the only aerobic exercise I enjoy and will actually do.
I grew up with inlines but I’m trying to learn quads because ~aesthetic~
I've inlined in the past, but mainly skateboard. Now I'm contemplating on buying either inlines or quads. Do you have any input that could pursue me in either direction?
@@NoflikOfficial depends on your preference and what you want to do with them.
Dancing? quads are better
Speed? Inlines are better
Street skating or tricks? Either are good
Derby? quads
Looking super cute? quads again lol
Rollerskates are easier to fall forward or backward in, inlines sideways.
I do find inline slightly easier because of the falling issue, the inline wheels extend past your toes and heels so falling forward or backward isn't as much of an issue for me. But I do need better core strength
@@geministargazer9830 I want to focus on park/street, so combination of transition and grinding stuff. From what I've read and from your response I think I'll buy me some rollerskates. The forward and backwards balance will be a learning curve for sure I bet haha. Thanks for answeringen!
I would say the biggest difference is that quads feel more stable side to side, but inline feels more stable front to back.
I always fall forward on quads cause I’m used to leaning forward on the long wheel base of inlines.
I have some really short 240mm length inline frames, and that’s still really long compared by roller skate standards.
same, I grew up on inlines and I've always found them easier to balance on. I guess I just have more core stability for side to side falling and less stability for forward/backward falling
I used to inline skate as a child, when I couldn't ice skate in the summer. But it was the early 2000's and inline skates where the only thing that was available back then, it was not a conscious decision of inline over quad skates or anything. And as an adult have now gotten into quad skates instead. I do find them harder to learn, but I feel like it's just an age thing, not the skate itself. As a child I just fully went for it, with no fear of falling, but that's just not feasible for me as an adult now. I'm much more careful, which is important to keep myself from getting serious injury if course, but it will make progress slower.
But I do prefer quad skates. There is just something to the vibe of quad skates that I like much more.
Don't forget that you're taller and hevier now. It's a lot further and harder to fall! It's easy for those kids to fall and bounce back up again when they're falling half as far and half as hard as me lol
Omfg was finding quads in the early 2000s IMPOSSIBLE! I honestly don’t even know how I happened upon my first pair. But I LOVED them so much! I HATED inlines. Only recently as an adult did I start to like them. I think I just resented the fact they overtook quad skates. When my first pair of quads broke I could never find a pair in any store to replace them. So I ended up giving up my favorite hobby which to this day I get upset over. My parents truly did try their hardest to find me a pair of skates but they never could so they ended up getting me a pair of inlines which obviously didn’t feel like quads and I had JUST figured out how to use quads. I didn’t want to have to relearn how to skate. I ended up selling those skates at a garage sale which I now regret. As I do enjoy rollerblading as much as quad skating now. But quads will always hold a special place in my heart. I have been inline skating for the past year or so on a old pair of my cousins Variflex inlines from the 90s. They’re fun but just not the same as roller skating. They’re obviously old so instead of updating to a pair of new inlines I just got some moxi panthers. It’ll be the first time since I was 11 I roller skated. I also found it easier to skate as an adult ironically enough! As a kid I was scared of falling and getting hurt but I’ve been through enough serious illnesses as an adult I am not afraid of pain anymore so I’m actually kinda careless. I also find inline skating much harder but it was still easier doing it as an adult then it was as a kid. When I was a kid I couldn’t inline skate well at all.(tbf I was kinda well not kinda I was TOTALLY a fat kid and I’m in shape now so that’s also probably why I can skate better now 😂)
Inline figure skates have toe stops! I saw someone at my local rink with them recently, they're beautiful 😍
afaik they aren’t meant for braking as much as doing jumps where you need a toe pick. they’re more like ice skates (for figure skating, not hockey) in that way.
Either/or. Different strokes for different folks. As long as your having fun with wheels strapped to your feet, I’m in!
I think that they are equally cool!
Thank you for your explanation! And your voice is so nice and calm, it's very pleasant to listen to. I started inline skates and enjoy skating backward very much. Not long ago I started to learn quad skates because I love those dace moves with quad skates. Unfortunately I fell hard on my butt twice all because backward skating on quad skates. I guess that's because I am so used to long base of inline and get used to leaning back too much.
I remember that the first time I tried inlines just over two years ago, I wasn't sure why I felt off balance, until I was told by an unspecified bystander to "wear a size down" as it were from my normal shoe size. I'm still not entirely sure why that is.
It's because your feet do different things, so you need a snugger fit! When you walk around you actually want a little space in your shoes so your feet can slide a bit, breathe, etc. When you are on inline skates, you definitely don't want that! Your foot will be rattling around inside the skate, making it difficult to control. When the boots are snug they kind of become an extension of your foot, giving you better control.
This has been a very nice summary! As an inline skater, I may however correct you on one detail (you know that this was coming 😉): inline figure skates have a toe stop or some other kind of stopper in front. It's meant as a replacement for the toe pick in ice figure skates. The boots look similar compared with roller skates, but they are generally more stiff too (because they are ice skating boots). BTW I totally agree with your inline friends ... I feel totally insecure in quad skates 😅 I've not yet figured out how to get onto the edge ... I'm not even sure if it exists 🤣
you do have edges on quads! it feels quite a bit different though. roller goolie kinda mentions this in the video; you have to lean and really shift your weight to one side or the other to get a good edge, especially if your trucks aren’t very loose, because the edges come from the movement of your trucks. your wheels themselves are always basically at the same angle to the ground (unless you have very tight trucks or you purposely lift up the two wheels on one side of your skate). the truck action allows the angle of the boot to the ground to change without the (vertical) angle of the wheels changing (the lines of the two front wheels vs the two back wheels do change when accessing edges though). that’s very different from inline edges, since as you probably know, the edges come from changing the angle of your skate, including the wheels themselves, to the ground. there’s no distinctly separate movement between the boot and the frame and the wheels; they all move together.
Hi! sorry for sneaking into this comment 🙈 but I have a question you might be able to help me with 🙏🏻 but can’t find the answer anywhere!. Can you dance on regular inline skates (4 wheels)?? I am an inline skater and feel super unsafe and weird on quads because I never got used to them. Lately I’ve been wanting to learn to dance on skates but everyone tells me quads are the right skates for that. It’s the first time I hear the term inline figure skates, I guess I should mention I mean more like jamming and urban dancing than figure skating, the kind of dancing you regularly see on quads. Can you do that on any type of inline skates?
I prefer both! They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but in the end to me are both fun!
Nice video, also that top is dope. I love that colour scheme
I'm an ice skater, so I'm leaning towards inline skating first! It seems more natural and familiar to have the long blade where I can sit my weight forward and get that speed.
I love both. I prefer inlines for straight up exercise (going fast for a long distance) or for very sketchy terrain (wooden bridges, lots of sticks/debris, etc) and prefer quads everywhere else. Quads are my favorite for long, cruise-y skates and the rink.
I’ve started with inlines. I’m getting my pretty moxy skates for Christmas. I’m thinking sort of the same, inlines for speed/transition and quads for style/cruising. After using both for a while, do you feel like the quads get boring because you don’t go as fast in them? I’m slightly worried the quads will be too slow and boring lol
I find it funny that I inlined skate since I was a kid but I recently bought quads and I feel like I’m starting all over again lmao
Personally I find quad skating so much harder but i think it’s just cause I started on inlines so it’s what I’m used to I will say I’m kinda glad I didn’t start on quads
They are so similar, yet so different! It's fun trying to learn both :)
Me too and I started out with quads in 1965 and switched to in-line in 1998. I tried to make the switch back to quads and couldn’t do it. When I tried to go back to quads I hurt myself pretty bad right away. So, I’m sticking with inlines for safety reasons. I want to enjoy skating without breaking a hip.
Love your videos. Keep em coming!👏💕
like the 80's fashion look you have dope inline skates. WoW haven't seen those in a while!!!!
I started with quads until my parents got me rollerblades when I was 8 or 9, back when rollerblading was at its peak of popularity. As an adult I prefer quads because of how customizable they are, and because I feel slightly more stable. However, I definitely prefer speed skating on inlines because it feels like flying.
Good Video, very sympathetic.

Thanks For Sharing 🙋🏻♀️ Nice skates you have there 😁🛼 i wonder if they still make some with out a high heel 🥿
Great explanation Karli on Inline vs Quads. - Justice Constantine
Yeah, the naming's confusing because skating uses an inline blade on ice, where roller skates have tucks, like a truck similar primitive style suspension or better yet model-T, so I think it should be called roller tucks, like nun tucks (two, side by side things).
Will Moxi ever make their own inlines?!

as a beginner inline are definitely more easier to control your movement and balance so i feel more safe with it while quads are more prone to falling due idk whats the reason but it hrder for me to control my movements and balance with quads ive only tried in slippery floors tho idk about the other surfaces also this is based on my own opinion
Those are oysi medium frames in those blades, I have the bladies colab ones on mine. 💜
I used to inline skate as a child, and I got myself a pair of quads a few weeks back. I'm like a baby deer. The centre of balance is completely different. I'm worried I won't be able to switch and I will give up.
I don't know what I'm doing lol wish me luck!
How is it going? I did the same thing and unfortunately totally broke my leg last week 😭 could've saved myself if I could've remembered to go to my knee pads, so hard to go against instinct but I hope you're doing better than I did!
don’t give up! remember to bend your knees and stay low, and watch tutorials!
I am pretty terrible on inlines but I think you will get the hang of it with consistent practice!
im in the same boat as you - i skated on inlines as a kid - never even wore any protective gear - fell only 1 i think in my life-- now adult learning quads already fell 5 times lol and im wobbly as f
I prefer inline because… I inline. Nice you have the oysi frames. I changed from anti rock to riding flat. But I switch up every now and then.
I've seen a plate with 3 wheels in line and a toe stop, quite cool imo
Roller Goolie looks so pretty in this video as always! :) x
I did both and I like quad skates more. I don’t like that wheels in inline skates are over the boots and I have better balance in quads. 🙃
Inline skates FTW! Only way to go ;) :p
Hello, I just bought Lollys Complete. I have been an recreational inline skater for years but want to get back to quads so I can go to rinks. Do you suggest I change the Lolly wheels for rinks? Thanks!
hey, i’m not affiliated with moxi, but yeah the moxi gummy wheels are soft and meant for outdoors, so you’d have an easier time with harder wheels (durometer between 80a to 90a, so maybe around 82a or 85a, if you’re new to skating indoors). you can technically use the gummies on rinks, but they will likely feel “sticky” and slower.
edit: you can go with wheels even harder than 90a, but i figured that as a beginner you wouldn’t be looking to do slides and such in the rinks, and if you go with wheels that are too hard you might have a hard time at first.
I have lollies and used the gummy wheels on the rink. I don’t even know how does it feel to have less soft/ grippy wheels, so I think you’ll be fine. It slows you down and, as mentioned, it sticks a bit, but nothing too serious.
In terms of hardness if you wanna buy indoor wheels/ hybrid, I would recommend going up to a 103a. I had my eye on the luminous indoor wheels (they not only have the 85a - that is more like a hybrid/ outdoor but also two other harder wheels (I think 93 and 103?? Not sure). Again never tried anything harder, so it might be a good option to get a 93 first, but if you’re into rinks and want to go all the way, 100+ would do.
Are roller skates good for off-road?
Maybe I can put bigger inline wheels?
Why not both?
in my childhood i used roller skates then went to inlines for bike paths. Now im back to skates and i feel it difficult to turn just dont feel stable..
The scariest thing about aggressive quads is the lack of ankle support.
We just came out with a new skate called the Jack 2 and it has a whole lot of ankle support! Check it out: www.moxiskates.com/pages/jack-2
I want inlines but I feel like the hard boot pushes my leg forward at the ankle and I HATE it. I’m not sure what inlines to get for narrow feet that are light weight and don’t feel like they are forcibly bending my legs forward. I aggressive skate so that’s what I’d be looking for.
Very cool video😌
I’m actually looking towards inline figure skates. Does anyone know any good, affordable pairs? or any tips or advice in starting? :D
Check out usd aeons, sways or them skates. Follow Acosta blades on here got tips, I’ll be posting some how to vids also 👋👊
I grew up learning to skate on quads, simply because there were no others then *grin* I still prefer them, but am starting to get used to inlines...
Does anyone know what kind of wheels Roller Goolie uses for quad skating? Thx
QUAAAADS always and forever!
For information, roller inlines are easier than quads (it is not the opposite)
I grew up with rollerskates I'm about to get inlines
What brand and style are those inlines?
I have tried both and I prefer roller blades. (I have that brand)
Inlines are easier for me. As a beginner to inlines and quads, I prefer rollerblades. Easier to turn and I like the heel brake than toe stops
Hey you live in SD right? Where should I go to meet fellow inline Skaters?
City heights park
@@BladerMomBecSo thank you
What's the model of inline skate please?
Those are valo, theyre not made anymore tho, check out some usd
Those Valo's are a Roces M12 boot with a leather skin over top. The Roces M12's are a good skate and readily available, but the look is very different.
Check out Oakcityskate.com or rollerwarehouse.com
@@d_a_hizzle1309 and BladerMom, thank you so much. :)
Yep, these are Alex Broskow's pro model boot from Valo which is no longer a company but they broke off and formed Them Skates, You can possibly find these on ebay or check out the new brand :)
@@SKATEFANTOM Thank you so much. :D
Which one is the the most hardest to learn?
I would personally say quads cuz the truck movement can be tricky for beginners
Whereas I’d say inline lol
The quality, style, and sizing of your first skates can impact how enjoyable your learning experience is just as much as choosing inline v quads. The same is probably true for the surface/terrain you learn on as well.
Learning never stops though. I played ice hockey at the collegiate level and have been inline skating over 25 years, but there are still plenty of things I'd like to improve.
Thanks guys🙂
Very informative video 👍🏿
Glad it was helpful!
inlines are easier!! i've used both as a kid and kept falling with quad skates
I really want to change to roller skates but I love urban skating and roller skates are kinda of uncomfortable for it.
There are definitely a few ways to make your skates more comfortable on the streets! :)
I have those same valos!
I realize the title is probably more for click bait, but wouldn't it make more sense to call this something like "The differences between rollerskates and inline skates"? After all, she says several times, that one is not better than the other, rather there are differences that might make one preferable to the other depending on individual preference.
Im sure she modelled it that way because people typically ask "whats better?" She has an answer to that- neither. The title is fine and allows a point to be made.
@@teath_ Teath gets it :)
None isn't better than the other, they're different in own ways
Do people ever tell you you look like Brittany spears?
All the time haha
Omg yes. I just noticed it. Hahaha
🥰🥰🥰🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘
QUADS till death
AGREE :)

The trailer is awesome. Inliner….. nope. Never ever. I have been skating on quads for so such a long time when inliners did‘nt have been invented yet.
Inline skates were invented first (1760)
@@chalkknees1754 yes your‘re right. I mean the 1970s. But rollerblading isn‘t cool at all. Ok, that is my personal subjectiv opinion. Sorry all Inliner.
Tell Robbie Pitts that
Quads all the way ! Please let us buy your shirts and socks again in Australia! Tried yesterday for the wife’s birthday and????? ✌️❤️🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
OHH PLZZ MILLINIAL QUADS ARE WAYYY BETTER
Inlines are fun but quads are easier and better for beginners. I was trying to explain that to an inline supremacist the other day but they got super triggered and went on a rant about the history of ice skating 😂
Edit: 12:07 see I actually DONT think it’s personal preference! And I ALWAYS am shocked when I hear inliners say quads feel “dangerous” like wtf it’s inlines that feel dangerous! They’re MUCH harder for a beginner and I learned to skate on quads and inlines AT THE SAME TIME! And quads were far easier to balance on and pretty much do everything on! Inlines are fun for speed skating tho! Cant beat the speed inlines will give you! However, no matter what anyone says your center of balance is objectively more balanced on quads so I do believe if it’s harder for some people it’s just because they’ve gotten used to inlines. But to a rookie who’s never skated quads will be easier.
