really serious answers guys! is the aggressive inline skate "rb" proffesional?
Are "rb" rollerblades proffesional aggresive inline blades?
I believe the RB brand skates you are talking about (usually available at Big5 or other discount sporting good stores) are acutally made by Rollerblade. They are a VERY entry level aggressive skate and if the sport is something you are really serious about, I wouldn't recommend the skates. They seem kinda cheesy. So, I think they are made by Rollerblade, but have a different name on them. If you're looking for quality aggressive skates, check some of the links below...
Reply:i know RB is short for the company RollerBlade, there might be some knock off brand using "RB" as their name, im not sure. if you are talking about the brand RollerBlade then yes, they are fairly good aggressive skates. Some people find them a bit too stiff, thought, a lot of people like them for park riding.

For inline skating what the difference in having 2 wheels insted of 4?
There isn't a difference in recreational skating, however in aggressive skating there IS a difference. Eliminating the middle two wheels is what is called a freestyle set up. This gives you more room to do "royale" tricks, or tricks where you would have been grinding between your middle two wheels.
Freestyle has become more and more popular over the last few years and frame companies are now manufacturing frames specifically for this set up type. Just one of the many options out there for aggressive inline skaters.

there isn't one, you can either have two or four it doesn't do anything for performance its just style.
Reply:Well, if you're into going fast, it does make a difference. The more wheels you have, the ride is alot more stable. Of course, if you have more wheels (like 5), you might have a longer frame which might also mean you'll have a harder time maneuvering, like, a turn. And if the wheels are farther apart, that makes a difference in speed %26amp; stability too.
Reply:Actually, I would say that there are a couple of important differences:
1) Weight - 4 wheels (with bearings) are heavier than two (bonus for the two wheels - unless you're trying to "train" and build muscles ... then bonus for the four ;)
2) Failures - if one wheel fails, you're still skating with 4 wheels (just remove the bad one), but with 2 wheels, if one goes, you're walking... (bonus for the four wheels)
My personal preference - split the difference... use 3 - oh, but the vendors don't make 'em like that any more. :(

In-line skates vs. Quads?
I can inline skate reasonably well (for recreation and long distance, not aggressive skating performing stunts and such), but recently I went to a skating rink and got on a pair of quads. I had no form whatsoever and had to concentrate to keep my balance. I thought the transition would be easier from inlines to quads, but apparently it is not.
It seems like people can to more artistic things on quads, but it seems that inlines are better for outdoors or recreation. What do you think?
In-line skates vs. Quads?
I started skating on quads when I was 3 years old. Skated until I was 20! Then I stopped completely and was introduced to in-line skating 15 years later. I found in-line skating a lot easier, and it was much faster! 4 years later, I went to a retro indoor skating rink in NYC, and saw skaters still boogying and skating on quads. I decided to buy a pair, and try it out and you are right, it was hard to transition from in-line to quads. I felt the side to side motion is more pronounced when skating on quads, and I could not dance %26amp; bounce around on them like I used to! (^_^) I know some in-line figure skaters, and their motions are closer to ice-skating than quad-skating. Maybe I have to save money to buy a pair of the in-line figure skates? Of course, you can also get a pair of the new Skorpion Quadlines that look like the old-school metal skates, except they use large, in-line wheels instead and are alot pricier. Fast AND artistic! Check out the videos on their website:

I skate on in-line speed skates now, and do it outdoors. But I would love to be also be able to hop %26amp; dance around, just not on my speed skates; gotta figure--which skates? Quads, in-line figure skates, or Scorpions!
Reply:Quads keep your feet planted kinda flat on the ground, whereas inline skates move with your body lean. I know quad skaters who have transfered to inline and ice skating really well, but like you said, it's not easy going back to quads! Quads are slower than inlines - so yes, I do think inlines are better for recreation like long distance skating as you mentioned.
Artistic things: Yes, quads for sure, and some stuff can be done on inlines but it looks "clunkier" in my opinion. Have you ever seen this product? The Pic Skate http://www.picskate.com/ They are inlines that have been designed to be like ice skates . . . artistic skating can be done with those (look into it - there's competitions and everything).
Reply:I love quads, because they are much easier to turn on (so you can do spins ). However, It's really hard to do jumps and things on them.

Where can I buy inline skate wheels in Dallas?
I need wheels for outdoor skating.
Where can I buy inline skate wheels in Dallas?
You might want to check with the Pegasus Flyers (local Dallas club) at www.pegasusflyers.org. They also have a Yahoo group DFW-Inline-Skaters.
I get my wheels from RollerBob (www.rollerbob.com) because he is honest (I know him) and his prices are better than any of our local stores.
Feel free to ask tell him your ability and type of skating then ask for recommendations. He will probably choose something other than the most expensive.
Most of the people I know (skate a couple times per week) like the Zero Drag racing 84a wheels.

Best inline skate for beginners?
You want something that fits good and feel comfortable. I wouldnt suggest going out and getting the most expensive top of the line skate, but don't buy the cheapest either! In-line skates come with wheel bearings that have a number rateing associated with them, if you have ever ice skated in your life and are pretty good then you can go with a APEC 5 bearing and do well, if you are a true all out beginner, stick with an APEC 3 bearing. The lower the number the less speed you can generate while skating. You want something with plenty of ankle suport too, you might not get the prettiest pair on the rack, but if you are serious about skating on the regular you dont need to worry about a fashion show do you? Also get something with a REAR break on it, stay away from hockey skate replicas! Try going to a sporting goods store, stay away from Wal*mart and stores like that. Usually the people in those department are extremely helpful. I hope I shed a little light on the subject for you! Good luck and have fun skating.
OH PS - Get a helmet, again you arent in a fashion show! Protect your noggin! If you are a real beginner you WILL fall!
