Do you own either? Which is better ? Can you use them ? I like the original roller skates and I used to be quite good rolling around in the streets as well as the rink with the disco playing...I think that the roller blades are quite dangerous I have seen so many accidents, I think because they are soooo big and bulky (and ugly). What are you experiences ?

I dont own any these days. When i was young i had roller skates. But i was more in to ice skating. I loved it and went every week. That was when we lived in Sydney. My kids have had roller blades, but i dont like them, as they arent safe. I am glad they dont have them now. Best wishes to you, calais

I have only gone roller skating. It was fun, but it's been a long time since I did skate. I have never roller bladed. It is much more dangerous I think.

Those roller blades do look dangerous, they are so big and bulky and I have heard of so many broken ankles because of them..

I have both and I like both, each one is good with different things. To tell you the truth, I never had an accident and I started with 5 years old.

I used to play the original roller blades but eventually I got bored of it.. Now Im more into roller skates, I really enjoy going to the streets with it especially that I getting more expert in using it.. I remember when I am still learning how to use it, I sprine my ankle twice. It was a painful experience but it's worthed because now, I finally got it all right and zooooom there I go with my skates..(=
