Great comparison for those who want to make an informed decision. It's also cool that you had a friend to rollerskate next to you, for an easier comparison. It does kill my ear though, when people say "verse," instead of "versus." Two entirely different concepts.
@@PollySkates hey a question... I want to learn skating and I don't have anyone to help me (to help me balance and none of my friends know how to skate) ...should I buy roller skates or roller blades?
Can you send me some rollerblades and rollerskates I like your village video and subscribe and I follow you can you please send me some rollerblades and rollerskates
The problem for me is that I have been skating on ice for my whole life. Whenever I put on rollers I always forget you can't just stop normally and eat it.
I was in a store trying on roller blades for the first time and started going backwards. Only to realize I didn’t know how to stop. No toe picks! The salesman told me to just roll into the t-shirts to stop. 😂 Hapoy to say I eventually learned how to stop without the t-shirts.
A good desperate stopping technique is to get low then drop to a seated position. A bad desperate stopping technique is crashing into something or trying to grab something while your legs slide out from under you.
Also: rollerskates are a bit safer for people whose knees dislocate easily. The teetering side to side on inline skates when trying to find your balance can definitely cause a kneecap to dislocate (especially if you have damaged ligaments). Roller skates put much less stress on your ligaments so they are a great option for those of us who want to skate in spite of bad knees!
do you know how they compare in regards to hip instability? I'm considering both and I have some hip issues; my instinct is that roller skating could potentially be worse for hips ?
The first time I tried using rollerskates I was at a rink, I was like 8 and I fell in front of adults and they laughed at me 🥲, I guess we had similar situations.
Dude yeah I SWEARRR it was like once u learned how to do one thing they were bullying u 4 not knowing how to do a certain trick or how to skate backwards as well 💀💀
@@kitty-gf2wd i had a birthday party when i was young i think it might have been my 7th birthday, it was (obviously) my birthday and i was bullied a lot as a kid so when i was able to invite one of the popular kids i was so happy, but i fell on my arm and i later learned i slightly (bruised? Cracked?not sure) my bone and i started crying obviously and my grandmother comforted me but my mom started apologizing to the kid and yelled at me for having such bad balance and how i was embarrassing her and I'm being bullied because i can't do a simply thing like balance on four wheels in four different positions and not even the harder one like her and the kid (blades). I never talked to the popular kid again and I didn't rollerskate for a while after that, and i actually had to fake a fever because my arm hurt so bad lol i just wish i went to the E.R. because it took so long for my arm to fix itself and now laying on it a certain way is extremely painful lmao 😂
both are so fun. i never understood debates about which is “better” and this video is a perfect example of how they’re both great for different reasons! if you have something more specific you want to do then one might be better then the other for that purpose, but both are really fun and enjoyable
@@PollySkates yea same in my opinion rollerblades are easier then roller skates I know I started on normal skates but roller blades are so smooth and they are way better for cross overs and jumping up and down curbs
When I was a kid, everyone had a pair of roller blades and literally every kid outside would be on them and every store seemed to have them on sale. I don't know what happened but the next summer all the sales disappeared and no kid was playing on them anymore. The last two decades, I honestly don't think I've seen them sold in any major retailer aside from maybe a couple dedicated sports stores and definitely not seen anyone skate outside either. I miss that one summer
I remember that! One year skating was so big and then it disappeared all of a sudden, i was too young to start (my mum was so protective 😑) but ive never seen any on sale anywhere since. I’m hoping to start skating now, hopefully it becomes a bigger thing again tho
My take on why it went away is because of loitering laws as well as the streets where kids would often skate where become to dangerous to do that on for a multitude of reasons.
Same I thought rollerblades are just roller skates in a single line in my country roller skates are called Skates and roller blades are called in line skates at least in the place I live in
@@i.am.ded.This is true, "rollerblades" are actually called inline skates. It's just here in the US, the biggest inline skate seller brand name is "Rollerblade" So, the skates they sell all have "Rollerblade" written on them. People find it easier to say rollerblades instead of inline skates, and leaves less confusion when talking about either inline skates or quad skates. We just say blades or skates instead, pretty often.
They’re not hard at all. I feel like roller skates are a little harder to learn tbh. It might be a little difficult to find balance on blades at first but moving and turning is definitely easier on blades.
Blades are actually really easy to balance on due to built in support. You’re literally locked in. Your literally supported from your toes to your lower calf.
I have done both and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages… Rollerblades are faster and your center of balance is in the center/back of your foot because of the flat design, making it easier to go side to side for speed. Roller skates / quads are slower but easier to balance on, and it’s much easier to turn in quads which is great for dancing… however, I do figure skate (on ice) and I’ve gotten so used to that side to side type of balance that I find it easier to balance on rollerblades now because I can move my foot side to side MUCH easier which ultimately gives me more control and allows me to balance for longer. I prefer rollerblades most of the time, but for the chill days or around the house I prefer quads
If you search on TH-cam there’s some videos that show you different ways to stop. I personal enjoy racing down hills and the T-stop is my personal favorite. But it depends if you have skates or rollerblades?
If you want to cover pretty long distances, the lower cuff models, sometimes called marathon skates, with 3_5 80-110mm wheels are great. True Speedskates, in my experience, are only good if you truly skate often enough so your ankles get and stay strong. Fit also needs to be tighter and less cushy. Both will also require more strength for the same brake pressure ( if you use a heel brake pad)
I know both rollerblading and rollerskating..I got my rollerskates at six and rollerskates at 9..Idk if it was the age difference but seriously learning rollerblading was easier to learn,balance and do tricks with. I love doing both ❤
I perfer rollerskates over rollerblades, but i might get some in the future for distance traveling. But i really enjoy my rollerskates for the skatepark :))
I used to rollerblade all the time when I was a kid. I was teaching myself to go backwards in the driveway when Zena, our Jack Russell Terrier, ran behind me and I fell, breaking my left wrist, and spraining my right. I never really started skating again, but I wish I had! I’m 35 and pregnant right now, so I definitely shouldn’t try to start again now, but after I have our daughter I might try to pick it up again. I loved the freedom I felt while skating and want to have that again. My husband also used to rollerblade, so maybe we can make it a family thing!
Yessss so right!!! I said blades have more, didn’t say quads have none. Just speaking generally too there’s definitely blades out there with awful ankles and quads with really good support like the Jak 2
A long time ago a company of something had roller blades with suspension on them and I think a friend of mine has them as he showed me a long time ago they were a great feeling
When I was young, my parents bought me rollerblades for my bday and for me it was pretty tough at first. I always thought that rollerblades and rollerskates were the same but got older and knew the difference. My little sister also had a pair of rollerblades as well and she actually was better rollerblading than I was as a child.
I used roller blades it's wasn't very hard to learn but it's very fun both are amazing but my feet used to hurt bc I used to wobble my feet alot and didn't balance properly 🤷♀️
I have always rollerbladed! When I roller skate 🛼 I always feel the need to walk not glide. How should I fix this? Also how do I practice my jumps on blades? Thank you!!
it could be related to the tightness of the screw that regulates the looseness of the wheels or to the material of the wheels (depending on the surface you skate on you will use different wheels. generally if you dont skate on competition rings you will need wheels made of a softer rubber made to skate on concrete/streets, so that they can absorb a bit of the unevenness of the floor. if these are not the problems, it could be simply that your legs have yet to develop the strength to push yourself and the skates forward so you would only need to practice more. hope this helps :)
They work differently. To glide on roller skates, you should push side to side in a V shape Unlike on rollerblades where you can glide even if they are paralle | | Remember Roller skates - V shape Rollerblades - | | shape
ive tried both and like skates over blades bc i can stand easier on skates, when i try to stand or anything on blades i fall down bc the blades are all centered down the middle of my foot instead of supporting all sides like skates
Im a figure rollerskater (not a really good one but I'm improving) and I've always found rollerblades so difficult and almost impossible to use, idk I've always loved rollerskates and how versatile they are. Also, there are different wheels for different purposes, like if you want to use them outside u would use softer wheels and for inside use we use harder and smaller wheels (there are more differences, like figure rollerblading but thats a different story😅)
Yep and roller skates on Christmas Day costed my mom and dad 20,000$ and me going to 5 different hospitals and 8 months in a wheel chair. And over 4,000 for new clothes cause I gained weight and physical therapy and lots of gas and drs appointments and pain and my grades and can’t even walk right 2 years later. December 25th 2023 will mark 3 years. And we can’t forget depression anxiety and stress and can’t go back and go what I love. And now my mental health is terrible. It has also costed us 9 ambulance rides my life flashing before my eyes. My sleeping schedule is now 💩 Cause when we got back home from 9 am - 5am next day. Also an eating disorder from not getting to eat that day because they didn’t know it I needed surgery, teachers getting mad at me thro zoom. And did I mention we had Covid the day I broke it too. Yea. That’s what roller skates can do ❤ Also. My mom and fams mental health. And guilt because they bought me the shoes. As well as my whole let was the wrong way. My knee and my heel of my foot should not me seen together at the same time. My knee broke.as well at ankle and 2 bones in my leg also dr author wanted to be the star when it rains storms or snows so yea ALL AT 10 AT THE TIME NOW IM 13 😂 😭😭
I was given a pair of "inlines"(blades, no idea why we called them inlines lol) when I was 6-7 and my gosh I could not figure out how to comfortably go more than a few feet without losing balance. Started rollerskating at a nearby rink (which has sadly closed) and it just worked so much better for me. I've tried both again recently and blades still don't work for me. I don't think they fit right though, the support was clearly supposed to be there but my ankles just wobbled inside them. So it's skates every time for me, but who knows, maybe I'll pick it up eventually.
Their actual names are “inline skates” not rollerblades. Rollerblade is a company that produces good quality inline skates and was very popular back in the day. We probably just refer to all inline skates as rollerblades because everyone was probably buying from rollerblade before
all the years i went to the skating rink i got roller skates and i could not go 5ft from the wall before i felt like i was gonna break a bone. my last time i went i said screw this im getting roller blades, THEY WERE SO MUCH EASIER OH MY GOD. i was actually able to move around and state close to the center and around the sitting area and i actually had fun
I’ve been rollerblading since I was 4 and I’m 15 now so that’s 11 years I’ve rollerbladed and I’ve done roller skating when I was prolly 7 and I STILL to this day love rollerblading better
my elementary school would host skate nights at the local skating rink so i've been skating since i was pretty little, i switched from skates to blades when i was maybe 8 and since then i've found skates so much more difficult to use
I know I am seeing this late I’m am just a 12 yr old girl and these videos help me a lot and I used to skate but now I mostly use my blades and they are so much faster and you just feel the breeze one time my dad went on a skate with me we where both on our blades and there is a huge hill that leads to a Main Street and my dad convinced me it was a good idea to go does this massive hill (I wasn’t wearing any gear not helmet knee pad nothing) and at the time I didn’t have much experience and we went down I was screaming the whole way down I almost cried lucky I didn’t fall at all but there was like I not sure what to call these so I’m going to call them inside out speed bumps in the road and I didn’t know who to not fall when we got to those and I couldn’t think fast enough but luckily I didn’t fall but never again 😅
When I was little, everyone always told me rollerskates are easier than rollerblades so whenever we went to the rink, I would get them, but I would always fall, and I could never skate for more than a second I was like this is not working, so I tried rollerblades and was instantly really good at it😂
I’ve never really tried roller blades before? I just stick with the skates that I have and I self taught my self from a close friend:) they are easier to get a hang on I think? Because roller baldes you really have to get a good balance on. Although I love skates I’ve never really learnt how to spin on them which is sad because it seems fun 😂
I had been roller skating since I was 4 so there’s no going back aint no way ima gonna be able to roller blade but if I don’t know how to roller blade how do I know how to ice skate if the blades are thinner
what if you made custom roller blades that were splayed out and had two per shoe. would that be the best of both worlds. easy to get into due to the width, easy to balance due to the width, and better heel support due to the length?
I have rollerblades but I’m scared of them bc i feel like they’re easy to fall because they only have one set of wheels on each one of that makes sense 🥲
* this debate is as old as "Blondes vs Brunettes"!!!* 🤷♂️ PS: They both fast, fun, and fantastic once you spend time on them and get to know them. 😻😹😜
I’m an inline skater through and through, but some of the incredible dancing/tricks I’ve seen folks do on quads makes me want to learn!! Good comparison ~
Rollerblades are much better they have more stabilise and its easier to do fun tricks on the other hand rollerscates sucks like its pretier but it makes your balance lose very fast and i fell one time using them so not trying them again😂😢
I like roller skating more than roller blading because I don’t know how to roller blade nor own blades. I got roller skates on Christmas and learned how to roller skate on my own when I was 6
Never let them know your next move: *roller-shoes* Tbh though I think I already said this but I use heeleys because they are easier to handle and have good balance
Thank you I definitely try those out now I used to have beginners skate cause I was little and I was nervous of falling over I had to say it’s not just a design with the in-line skates. They actually can do more plus a look much more cooler.
For some reason I’ve always done blades ever since I tried them because I found it hard to balance on the other ones. Guess I’m not good with front to back balance but fine at left and right ? Wonder if that could be the reason. Anyways I would fall a ton and it hurt and the switch made a huge difference for me, even though I’m a casual skater I feel super comfy on the blades !
I started learning rollerskates when I was a kid, and think it's much easier for me than rollerblades since I never once learned it 😅 (though I can at least stand and move using ice skating shoes, I should be able to do that too 😆)

T stop on roller blades and I also T stop on ice unless hockey is involved.. 😅
Also: rollerskates are a bit safer for people whose knees dislocate easily.

Oh thanks for sharing this!! 🫶
That's why i found easier to balance in rollerskates since i always dislocate my kneecaps.
BOTH are actually BETTER for legs than RUNNING
I also feel like roller blades would also be safer since they have ankle support
do you know how they compare in regards to hip instability?
I'm considering both and I have some hip issues; my instinct is that roller skating could potentially be worse for hips ?

It shifted to virtual games! No more actual skating for kids enjoying the outdoors

@@alyupde9337 yes same it’s sorta unsettling
Depending on the type of roller skates you get there’s a big difference in ankle support. You can get ankle support just like the roller blades! :)
Very true!!! All this info is interchangeable :)
I started out skating and changed to blading, and I definitely enjoy blading more. It was also far easier for me to learn.

I’m many parallel universes ahead of you, I’m an ice skater
Why deal with wheels when you can stick knives on your shoes
I have always rollerbladed! When I roller skate 🛼 I always feel the need to walk not glide. How should I fix this? Also how do I practice my jumps on blades? Thank you!!
Use your toe stops for a boost of speed then try and glide but push your legs hard at the same time and make sure to do it on a flat surface
it could be related to the tightness of the screw that regulates the looseness of the wheels or to the material of the wheels (depending on the surface you skate on you will use different wheels. generally if you dont skate on competition rings you will need wheels made of a softer rubber made to skate on concrete/streets, so that they can absorb a bit of the unevenness of the floor. if these are not the problems, it could be simply that your legs have yet to develop the strength to push yourself and the skates forward so you would only need to practice more. hope this helps :)

Cause when we got back home from 9 am - 5am next day. Also an eating disorder from not getting to eat that day because they didn’t know it I needed surgery, teachers getting mad at me thro zoom. And did I mention we had Covid the day I broke it too. Yea. That’s what roller skates can do ❤
Also. My mom and fams mental health. And guilt because they bought me the shoes.
As well as my whole let was the wrong way. My knee and my heel of my foot should not me seen together at the same time. My knee broke.as well at ankle and 2 bones in my leg also dr author wanted to be the star when it rains storms or snows so yea
ALL AT 10 AT THE TIME NOW IM 13 😂 😭😭
Loving the hairy pits ❤ we need more of that in the world tbh. I hate these restrictions and stigmas and the shame around women’s body hair
💯❤️
The hair provides a breeding ground for smelly bacteria, though. 😔
@@KuraYouthat’s why showering and antiperspirant is important 😂😂
I was given a pair of "inlines"(blades, no idea why we called them inlines lol) when I was 6-7 and my gosh I could not figure out how to comfortably go more than a few feet without losing balance. Started rollerskating at a nearby rink (which has sadly closed) and it just worked so much better for me. I've tried both again recently and blades still don't work for me. I don't think they fit right though, the support was clearly supposed to be there but my ankles just wobbled inside them. So it's skates every time for me, but who knows, maybe I'll pick it up eventually.
Their actual names are “inline skates” not rollerblades. Rollerblade is a company that produces good quality inline skates and was very popular back in the day. We probably just refer to all inline skates as rollerblades because everyone was probably buying from rollerblade before
all the years i went to the skating rink i got roller skates and i could not go 5ft from the wall before i felt like i was gonna break a bone. my last time i went i said screw this im getting roller blades, THEY WERE SO MUCH EASIER OH MY GOD. i was actually able to move around and state close to the center and around the sitting area and i actually had fun
I've always struggled to rollerskate, and when I was introduced to roller blades, I fell in love, and I can only use them lol
Classic 😄🎉🫶🤙🥹
It‘s called Inline Skating not Rollerblading 😂 Rollerblade is a Brand.
💯 I still like to call it that 😁
I’ve been rollerblading since I was 4 and I’m 15 now so that’s 11 years I’ve rollerbladed and I’ve done roller skating when I was prolly 7 and I STILL to this day love rollerblading better
my elementary school would host skate nights at the local skating rink so i've been skating since i was pretty little, i switched from skates to blades when i was maybe 8 and since then i've found skates so much more difficult to use
I prefer Rollerskates (I think im the only one here lol) But rollerblading sounds fun too. Its just there a bit too clumby for me
*Use to Rollerblade as a teen, now in my 30s thinking about doing it to get back into shape. I wonder do skateboarders still want to kill us?*
I know I am seeing this late I’m am just a 12 yr old girl and these videos help me a lot and I used to skate but now I mostly use my blades and they are so much faster and you just feel the breeze one time my dad went on a skate with me we where both on our blades and there is a huge hill that leads to a Main Street and my dad convinced me it was a good idea to go does this massive hill (I wasn’t wearing any gear not helmet knee pad nothing) and at the time I didn’t have much experience and we went down I was screaming the whole way down I almost cried lucky I didn’t fall at all but there was like I not sure what to call these so I’m going to call them inside out speed bumps in the road and I didn’t know who to not fall when we got to those and I couldn’t think fast enough but luckily I didn’t fall but never again 😅
I've never been able to use rollerskates 💀 Rollerblades are just easier to me
When I was little, everyone always told me rollerskates are easier than rollerblades so whenever we went to the rink, I would get them, but I would always fall, and I could never skate for more than a second I was like this is not working, so I tried rollerblades and was instantly really good at it😂
I was on. Professional roller skating team for almost 9 years, senes I was 4 and now I’m 13 but I left the team a few months ago
Isn’t it weird how my dad can ice skate but can’t roller skate
I’ve never really tried roller blades before? I just stick with the skates that I have and I self taught my self from a close friend:) they are easier to get a hang on I think? Because roller baldes you really have to get a good balance on. Although I love skates I’ve never really learnt how to spin on them which is sad because it seems fun 😂
I had been roller skating since I was 4 so there’s no going back aint no way ima gonna be able to roller blade but if I don’t know how to roller blade how do I know how to ice skate if the blades are thinner
Is that lynwood bowl and skate
Yes!
Roller skates look much easier to walk run whatever you do with them bc I’ve never tried shoes that have wheels
what if you made custom roller blades that were splayed out and had two per shoe. would that be the best of both worlds. easy to get into due to the width, easy to balance due to the width, and better heel support due to the length?
I have rollerblades but I’m scared of them bc i feel like they’re easy to fall because they only have one set of wheels on each one of that makes sense 🥲
Rollerskater’s need to know what shaving is
I despise rollorskates I broke my wrist over a year ago AND MY WRIST IS STILL NOT FLOCKING NORMALLLLL
Oh no ❤️🩹
I fractured my elbow at a skating rink on roller skates😢😢
❤️🩹
>Quad skates are better for flowey, spinny, dancy
Might I introduce you to Slalom Skating, madam?
Sooooo trueeee
* this debate is as old as
"Blondes vs Brunettes"!!!* 🤷♂️
PS: They both fast, fun, and fantastic once you spend time on them and get to know them. 😻😹😜
🙉
So which is better?
Rollerblades 🙊
And then there is me with a fractured foot…..
Hello. I like your videoes
go rollerblading
rollerskate does not look better
Ppl who only use rollerblades
👇🏼(btw I liked my own comment😅)
As a rollerblader the way I fell forward in a comp says otherwise 😭😭
I’m an inline skater through and through, but some of the incredible dancing/tricks I’ve seen folks do on quads makes me want to learn!! Good comparison ~
Ty! That’s why you need both!
I love rollerblades but I find them so ugly compared to roller skates
🙈
Blades are way easier than roller skates. I can not get comfortable with roller skates, I fall every time
I agree 🤭
i always go for roller skates because i’m terrified of roller blades
Rollerblades are much better they have more stabilise and its easier to do fun tricks on the other hand rollerscates sucks like its pretier but it makes your balance lose very fast and i fell one time using them so not trying them again😂😢
💯🙊
Roller blades gang
⬇️
I like roller skating more than roller blading because I don’t know how to roller blade nor own blades. I got roller skates on Christmas and learned how to roller skate on my own when I was 6
So fun!
in my opinion roller blades are 100xs better that roller skates
Saaaame 🤭
BRO THATS THE SKATE PLACE I GO TO!!!
Which ones are better for begineers?
Ima rollerblade type of girly 💅-
Same ☺️
Never let them know your next move: *roller-shoes*
Tbh though I think I already said this but I use heeleys because they are easier to handle and have good balance
I always found it harder to use skates. I wonder if its because i have weak ankles. 🤔
Thank you I definitely try those out now I used to have beginners skate cause I was little and I was nervous of falling over I had to say it’s not just a design with the in-line skates. They actually can do more plus a look much more cooler.
props to the camera man
For some reason I’ve always done blades ever since I tried them because I found it hard to balance on the other ones. Guess I’m not good with front to back balance but fine at left and right ? Wonder if that could be the reason. Anyways I would fall a ton and it hurt and the switch made a huge difference for me, even though I’m a casual skater I feel super comfy on the blades !
I personally prefer roller skates, roller blades scare me and i also cant skate in them
Whatever feels best is best for you!
I started learning rollerskates when I was a kid, and think it's much easier for me than rollerblades since I never once learned it 😅 (though I can at least stand and move using ice skating shoes, I should be able to do that too 😆)
