Which is more difficult, roller skates or roller blades??

I find roller skates to be the more difficult, though I can roller skate and rollerblade. Maybe it's because when you stop you can stand on the sides of your feet in rollerblades, where that would be difficult, if not impossible, to do on rollerskates. I also found it easier to brake with the brake being on the heel with rollerblades, in contrast to the brake at the front of the foot (or boot) on rollerskates. When I tried braking in skates I usually wanted to topple over, head first.





I will admit, the first time I seen a pair of rollerblades (or inline skates), I thought there was no way in hell I could do THAT, after I had spent so many years roller skating. So I when I first tried to, I was surprised that I was able to pick up so quickly and so well. Ever since I tried on that first pair of rollerblades I've prefered blades over skates. Not just because it was easier, but because they didn't hurt my feet nearly as much.

I have tried both, but personally find the skates harder.
Reply:roller blades, they take alot more balance and practice. but, you go like twice as fast on roller blades
Reply:blades, but alot more fun!!
Reply:roller blades, its harder to balance yourself on them
Reply:roller skates!!!! omg there are four wheels, so it makes it more difficult in terms of control and balance. roller blades are inline... so easy.
Reply:I have them both and find them equal.
