Rollerblading vs. Inline Skating What�s The Difference? First of all, everyone knows what Rollerblades� are, right? A pair of skates that all wheels are in a straight line, vs. side by side, like roller skates. Well that description is partially true, except for the fact that there are several manufacturers of skates with the wheels that are arranged in a straight line that aren�t called Rollerblades�. That�s right; many of us are using the term Rollerblade incorrectly. Rollerblade� is a Trademark name for a company that manufactures inline skates. Inline skate is the correct term for any skate where the wheels are arranged in a straight line. So Rollerblade�, K2, Bauer, Tecnica, Salomon, UltraWheels, etc are some of the companies that produce inline skates. Now when you strap the skates on, and go skating are you Rollerblading�? or Inline Skating��� well again Rollerblading is an incorrect usage of a name, it's not a verb, so you can�t use the term Rollerblading to describe what you are doing. The correct term is inline skating, I may be wearing Rollerblades, but my action is inline skating. So what is the Big deal about saying it wrong?
