were are they

: : You can carve/"surf" on roller skates, not on inlines. Not in the same way. The balance is easier on inlines/cant fall forward,
:
: Can be debated. I find it easier to balance on roller skates most of the time.
:
Well, when I put on inlines, I can lean all the way forward and no matter how far or how much weight I put forward, I cannot fall forwards. This is not true on roller skates. Then again, I have normal length plates. I've been debating getting a full length sole plate since I believe this would eliminate this balance issues and make dropping in vertical much more easy and relaxed. I''m just not sure if I would lose maneuverability with this or what else.

: : so I see why beginners and kids would choose inlines.
:
: I'm sure the main reason for this is social. Although they would try to argue on a rational base. But IMHO it boils down to what's conforming and socially acceptable.
:
TRUE! But if you have people you can watch, lessons available, etc. its much easier to follow and pick up. I've been very frustrated recently because I have noone to watch how to drop in, etc. I usually pick up things best through direct observation. Very hard if you've never even seen another person on roller skates outside in your lifetime lol. Sad but true...

: : Roller skates are just so much more fun!
:
: Amen to that!

No arguement here lol! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my roller skates. :-D
