Are quads or Inlines better for outdoor skating?
Inline skates are great for outdoor use especially if you are skating on pavement, asphalt, sidewalks, rough roads, or even dirt/trails. Inline skates are almost always faster outdoors than quad skates due to the nature of the inline wheel setup and minimized friction with the ground.
What wheels are good for rink skating?
Indoor skate wheels should have a hardness of 90A or above. For instance, jam skating calls for a wheel in the 93A to 96A range, while speed or artistic skating call for a harder wheel, around 100A. The larger the wheel, the faster it goes. The standard for most indoor skaters is 62 mm (diameter).
Is it easier to skate on quads or Inlines?
Quads are more stable, while inlines are faster and more maneuverable. Quads are easier for beginners, but inlines offer more ankle support. Inline skates may be easier for people who are used to ice skating, since the wheel configuration is similar to the blade.
