Is it easier for a seven year old girl to learn to roller skate or inline skate at an indoor rink?

Quads (the older version of roller skates with wheels aranged in a rectangle) are likely to be easier to use in this case.





They inherently have more side to side support which can be important to someone not used to balancing their foot on a narrow edge.





They are easier to turn at lower speeds and small areas, The wheels actualy steer in the direction that you lean towards.





The main drawbacks to quads don't really apply in the roller rink.


Inlines are less likely to pitch forward if you hit an object or a large disruption of the surface. That really helps when you are outside.


It is easier to go fast on inlines (no one has been competing in races using quads after the first year that inlines were allowed). Quads can go fast enough in the typical roller rink to not limit your ability.

inline skates have more balance


i found out the hard way
Reply:I would say yes. Those little kids have no fear and they seem to pick up things pretty easy. Go out to the rink and check out the little guys and girls zoomin' around.
Reply:We're not really sure what your question is, so we will try to address both.





First, if you're asking if it's easier to learn roller skating or roller blading, the answer is - it depends on the person. Quad skates are easier on the ankles (since they have a wider base than inline skates). If a child is trying inline skates, the biggest thing to remember is - make sure they fit properly. If all the wheels are not directly under the feet (ankles bend in or out), the inline skates are TOO BIG. Not only can this cause ankle issues, but also, any skates that are too big cause blisters (from the feet moving inside of the skate).





If your question is if it is easier to learn at an indoor rink, then the answer is most definitely YES. Indoor skating is much safer than most sports. When skating indoors, there is no need to worry about debris on the floor (usually). In addition, the indoor rink may offer skating lessons.





The biggest things to remember when learning to skate - no matter what surface or equipment one is using - are to 1) keep your head up and 2) keep your knees slightly bent.





Hope this helps!
Reply:I Think rollerskating because that grasps the inital idea of skating. Also if she learns by doing rollerskating she is less likely to get her fingers chopped off.
Reply:It depends on how many people are there....u dont want her to be humiliated when she falls, but depending on the wather pick the most reasonable, also if she can ice skate theat makes a difference.
