Your July FAQ’s Answered 🤔

Got questions? Well, we’ve got answers! Whether you're curious about skate sizes, maintenance tips, or mastering new tricks, our monthly FAQs have you covered. Roll into our latest ones below…

What’s an inline skate?
Surprise! While many people call them Rollerblades, that’s actually a brand name, not the type of skate. The correct term for skates with straight-aligned wheels is (drumroll, please)… inline skates! Now you can roll with the right lingo 💁‍♀️

What’s easier to learn on: rollerskates or inline skates?
This is a fun one to answer!

Roller (Quad) Skates: These are your go-to for easy balance. With their wider base, they offer more stability, making side-to-side wobbling a thing of the past.

Inline Skates: These require a bit more skills in the balance department, especially at the start. But once you get the hang of it, they can feel more natural, similar to walking or running.

In the end, choosing between quad and inline skates boils down to personal preference and the type of skating you want to do. Why not try both and see which one makes you feel more comfortable ☺️
