I never understood rollerblades. They're heavier, slower and they more easily get jammed then regular skates. As far as I could ever tell they had not practical advantage.

Roller skates with the front brake have a specific direction of travel. If you violate that you face plant. A 4 wheel platform is different than ice skates.

Rollerblades at least mimicked ice skates such that if you learned on one it could translate to the other.

Even still, they looked fucking goofy.
