Roller skating is an awesome hobby to choose. It provides a social outlet, boosts emotional health, contributes to weight loss, and builds muscle definition. If you’re just now getting into this awesome pastime, you may be wondering if you should skate in quads or inlines.
Fortunately, there’s a simple way to figure out which one you should start skating with and when to move onto the other skate. Check out the details:
Quad Skates
If you’re a beginner, quad skates are always a good choice. Quad skates, better known as roller skates, help beginners perfect their balancing skills and get used to moving on wheels instead of on their feet. The stability and balance that quad skates offer can even help you skate better. This occurs because you won’t have to work so hard to balance and stay upright. You will quickly be confident in your ability to skate! Once your skating skills grow, you’ll be ready to try inline skates.
Inline Skates
Inline skates, commonly referred to as rollerblades, are boot-like skates that have four wheels. These wheels are arranged in a straight line. Because of this design, inline skates are able to maneuver much easier than quad skates. Skaters can whip around corners or around obstacles easily. Probably the most important aspect of inline skates is speed! Skaters love the speed associated with roller blades. And, if you want to skate for hours on end, you can try different things to increase your endurance.
