Which is better: Rollerblades or Rollerskates?

Hey everyone, between rollerblades and rollerskates which do you prefer and which do you think is better for general use, and why?

Even though it takes your ankles some time to get used the movement and weight distribution, I always preferred rollerblades.

Same here. I loved Roller blading with my friends as a kid. We used to watch Rocket Power so we got almost everything from scooters to mountain bikes, the only things we didn't have on hand were like snowboards and skis and other snow-related stuff because we don't get snow here. We only got those stuff plus surfboards when we visited the US.

I miss snowboarding so much I almost want to cry. I’d give almost anything to be able to do it again.

I want to go snowboarding really bad. It's just that I haven't had the time to organize a trip to go and do it.

If you haven’t done if before, you need to find a bunny and go slow. You need to learn how to direct your weight on one unless you want to spend all your time on your ass. There’s a lot you need to learn before you even consider hitting the slopes.

I've snowboarded before. It's just that I haven't done it since I was a teen but if I can find the time, I'd organize a trip and go snowboarding.
