The first record of rollerblades or inline skates states that John Joseph Merlin, in the 18th century, invented inline skates as a publicity stunt for the opening of his museum. It had wheels placed in a line like the rollerblades of today. However, it did not have any brakes and could not turn. Although inline skates were patented in 1819, it was not until 1980 that they became famous. They were developed and sold like the ones we know today. The Olsen duo later formed the Rollerblade brand, which became such a rage that it lends its name to inline skates. Hence, inline skates are commonly known as rollerblades.

Before choosing suitable adult roller blades, it is important to ask yourself what you want to use them for. Here’s a guide to the kinds of rollerblades or inline skates for adults that will help you understand exactly what you need:

Fitness roller blades- used for workouts, can be an excellent substitute for running and are optimal for short and long distances.

Quad skates or roller blades- perfect for disco or dancing, have more stability due to wider baseplates, come in retro designs.

Speed skates- suitable for experienced skaters, used in competitions

Aggressive inline skates- used by experienced skaters for stunts and ramps in skate parks.

Free skates or urban skates- perfect for skating in the city, made for maneuvering sharp turns.

Both adult rollerblades and roller skates are difficult at first because both need balance. However, adult roller blades are more agile and pick up speed quickly. They also provide support to the ankle and feet while the extra front and rear wheels help maintain balance. Inline skates or adult roller blades are also faster on the streets as the inline wheel setup minimizes friction with the ground. It is for these reasons that these are easier to work than roller skates.
