I blade and I've been trying to teach my mom both sisters and aunt to ride quads, 3 of those 4 fell on their butt's trying to skate down easy slopes and now I can properly explained why, I never realized the blades were so forgiving with the leaning forward and back too much 😅
lovely video. it’s a pet peeve of mine when people say it’s “harder to balance” on quads than on inlines (or vice versa) without mentioning the difference between lateral stability and longitudinal stability. it also bugs me when they try to say one is *objectively* “better” or easier than the other, based on nothing but their personal preference. the comparisons you make are actually logical and helpful.
Yes I feel the same that's why I wanted to make this video to show the differences so people can judge for themselves what would suit them better. I could have gone on longer but then it would be an epic video 🤣
I like quads better because I started with skateboarding, so the setup is like having 2 mini skateboards on my feet if that makes sense. Just starting on quads about a month now and I love your content. Keep it up 😁
Shorty, I just love your channel so much. Thank you for all your helpful information, and your clear and concise way of delivering it. BEST CHANNEL EVER!!
I don't do skate park tricks so my preference is skates for music/dance-moves and blades for distance exercising and roller hockey. One of my faves... Skid to side stoppies are more fun on skates than blades.
Thank you so much Shorty, i love your tutorials specially the way you explain step by step the tricks. I use roller blades and i wonder if you will thinking in make some tutorials in such skates?
Very informative video! And visuals and explanations are great! I tell the same when people ask me about difference between inlines and quads. Experience of using two types of skates and switching between them is kinda rare, so it's very helpful, thank you for including these details 👏🏻👍🏻
Great comparison! I really struggled with blades due to the lack of lateral stability compared to my quads. I ended up converting them with the Toto Ghali UFS quad plates. The wheelbase is huge (215mm compared to my quads which are 175mm) so I find they give me the best of both worlds - hard supportive boot, wide trucks, huge grind block and long wheelbase. Just wish I could skate them better though 😆
I've seen roller skate modifications like that. Are they heavy? I use to have shin problems that why I switched to Bont boots ages ago for roller derby as they are super light. I haven't skated on any other brand since then.
@@ShortysSkateSeries yep, they are really heavy! I think the Roces boot I use is heavy anyway so I could eventually switch to something like a Seba Carbon boot to save a bit of weight.
Please show us more tricks for blades! I’m a quad skater and always like to share vids with my blade friends, it would we so amazing once you smash on both!
I really enjoyed your video! When I was a kid, I skated on blades doing mostly fitness skating (because I was too scared to go to the park, haha). Recently though, I've been into park skating on quad skates and I really like having a toe stop. I'm curious about trying aggressive inlines at the park, but I've been weary of not having a toe stop. I like your breakdown and I think I'll give aggressive inlines a try soon!
I just recently swaped from decades of blading to quad-skating in a park now. And yes I really feel it has helped me in ways to unlock some tricks that I first thought to be too scary with blades but appeared easier with quads (since there are toestops for example). Thus I wholeheartedly agree that it helps on getting better faster :) On the other hand it will take me ages before I will attempt any sort of slide with my quads since they are a low-cut sneaker style shoe and I don't trust slides yet without the anklesupport I was used to with blades :D
Yeah ankle support it important for me too. That's why I like my Bont Parkstars as they are supportive, but not as supportive as a blading boot of course.
Great break down! I love that you use lines to show the difference in wheel bases. I've seen you use it in other videos (being perpendicular to the transition in a ramp) and it's very helpful for visual learners. I've been thinking about trying inlines because is struggle with a short wheel base. Would skating without a toe stop better prepare me for inline skates?
It may help you but having your toe stops in can help you to catch yourself if you tip forward too much. If you want to take your toe stops out I recommend wearing your protective gear at the beginning just in case.
This is super helpful! I grew up with inlines and prefer them but watching my quad skater friends, it seems like they can do more fancy footwork. Are you aware of any tricks that can only be done on quads and not inlines?
This video is brilliant. I’m 51 and have skated quads for 40 years. I decided to start park skating and using Aggressive inlines, but it’s feels a lot different, mainly stopping on them, I’m so used to having a toe stop. I got myself a pair of Chaya Park Jump 2 quads, which are great. I’m at a crossroads though, do I give the inlines more of a try (I’m very impatient 😂) or stick to quads which I already know? 😕 Your my favourite skater by the way 🔥
Aww thanks! If you like the learning process then I would try and give inlines a red hot go. Grinding tricks and big airs are easier in terms of being stable. I wish I had more time to learn on them. But since coming from a quad background you will probably fall a lot more until you realise you no long have toe stops.
@@ShortysSkateSeriesThank you so much for your reply. I decided to stick with quads, but I got myself a pair of Bont Parkstar’s. I absolutely love them ❤I feel so much more confident on them. The Chaya’s always made me feel like I was going to fall backwards, which I actually did once 😫 The Bonts are so comfortable.
So I now have a metal plate on my quads (different to in this video) so my quads are heavier than my blades. But the skates in this video they were similar in weight.
The are the Bont Discotruxs. They ones on my skate are only 70mm which isn't as wide as the Penny trucks, but they will soon be coming out with an interchangeable 100mm axle soon. New stock should be coming out in a month or so. bont.com/collections/roller-skate-plates/products/discotrux-roller-skate-trucks

Yeah, I got my husband blades so he could balance better. He's over 6ft and very top heavy so it's helped him a lot.

I’m an in-line skater, and your videos helped me the most in understanding the mechanics of rollerblading at skate park, very well done!👍🏽👏👏👏
You're welcome!
I like quads better because I started with skateboarding, so the setup is like having 2 mini skateboards on my feet if that makes sense. Just starting on quads about a month now and I love your content. Keep it up 😁
I think about roller skates as 2 little skateboards, especially when doing 50/50 grinds 😁
Shorty, I just love your channel so much. Thank you for all your helpful information, and your clear and concise way of delivering it. BEST CHANNEL EVER!!
Wow, thank you!
I don't do skate park tricks so my preference is skates for music/dance-moves and blades for distance exercising and roller hockey. One of my faves... Skid to side stoppies are more fun on skates than blades.
That does sound like fun!
Menace just hit the nail on the head thank you so I like to skate with my legs straight so now I know what rollerblades I need to get. 😊
👍
Excellent explanation.💯
Glad you think so!
Master both disciplines and discover their amazing communities, lifestyle and many other aspects within the world of quad and inline skating. 🙏
I do skate both.
I would love a roller skate to inline tutorial or any inline beginner tutorial
That's a great idea. I'll add it to my to do list.
Thank you so much Shorty, i love your tutorials specially the way you explain step by step the tricks. I use roller blades and i wonder if you will thinking in make some tutorials in such skates?
I would love to when I have more time. I have blades as well and they are super fun!

I know switching between the two has made me a better skater for sure!

Wow.....
God bless and Thank U for Sharing 🎆🥇🔥🙏

I hope to do some blading tutorials soon, I just need more days in a week to skate and edit 😅
I love both
So do I!

I would like to see the early races between the two technologies.
I would too!
Check out the Quad Skate Channel on utube for lots of 80s quad racing
Ahhhh thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
Amazing
Thank you!

I guess any tricks to do with toe stops comes to mind but I think you can modify most tricks to be similar on either blades or quads
Awesome video, I also switch blades a roller skates, even I made a custom usd boots with chaya plates!
Nice work!

@@MixinMum1210 Yay I'm gald you like your Parkstars!
@@ShortysSkateSeries Thank you ☺️
Thanks for this! Makes me wanna try inlines. What is your setup for inlines? Are they also bonts?
I wear Them Skates boots, Intuition liners and Sola Frames.
Base on roller and inline you have.. which one is heavier? I do roller skate and plan to try rollerblades too
So I now have a metal plate on my quads (different to in this video) so my quads are heavier than my blades. But the skates in this video they were similar in weight.
*!!BLADES!!*
Now, what was the question?
😂😂
Who else here has worn one of each in the skatepark just for giggles? Can't just be me
I think few people have! 😂
What kind of trucks are those you have on the quads? They are the widest and toughest I’ve seen.
The are the Bont Discotruxs. They ones on my skate are only 70mm which isn't as wide as the Penny trucks, but they will soon be coming out with an interchangeable 100mm axle soon. New stock should be coming out in a month or so.

Blades ❤️❤️❤️
I love them both equally! I just don't have enough time hours in the day to skate 😭
👍🏾🙏🏾
😆
hello could you put your subtitles in spanish please
Thanks for the suggestion. I do have plans to add subtitles for all my videos but I haven't the time yet, sorry!
Thank you very much for accepting the suggestion. because there is almost no subject in Spanish and
You are very cute!
😊 thank you
