This makes a lot of sense to me. Steps (and to a degree skateboards) have a much more forgiving learning curve than inline skates. When they slide out from under you, you can just jump off and land on your feet. When inline skates slide out from under you, you tend to fall hard. What's surprising is that inline skating ever gained any popularity at all, not that it fell out of favor.
- teekert 5y agoI also bought a skateboard with my son but it’s pretty hard, the skates you can use on the road and make some KMs/miles, a freestyle skateboard is much harder to get good at in my experience. The steps seem to be much easier to get started with indeed… But I’m biased.
