Skateboarding VS inline Skating (Rollerblading) Disclaimer:
This video represents my personal opinion as an inline skater with over 40 years of experience. While I had a skateboard as a child and occasionally borrowed skateboards from friends, I’ve never been a dedicated skateboarder in my adult life—until now, when I bought my first skateboard specifically to create this video.
I believe skateboarding may be easier to start with compared to inline skating, but as you progress, both sports can become incredibly challenging, especially at a competitive level.
Please note that the children featured in this video who are using a skateboard are my daughters.
