Question

Which one's supposed to be easier, rollerblading or roller skating?

Answer 1

I find rollerblading to be easier. You can actually balance on them and you can turn easier without having to do cross-overs. They have much more support in the ankle. I feel that it is harder to fall on rollerblades and you have much more control.

Answer 2

Well, it depends what you want out of it.

If you just want to leisurely skate about, roller skating is for you.

However if you want to do tricks, and maybe progress to inline skating, blades for you.

Skates for leisure, blades for speed and tricks :)

hope that helped :)

and btw, at first blades may seem hard, but they become dead easy when you get used to them and find your balance :)
