Quad skates

Extremely popular in the 80s, roller quad is a sliding discipline that combines technique and fun, for the greatest pleasure of riders. However, it is important to know how to choose the right quad rollerblades to be comfortable and well supported.

Roller quad characteristics

The roller quad is distinguished by the layout of its wheels. Mounted two by two on a truck, the roller quad, or roller skate, has an integrated shoe and a rubber brake at the front of the roller (toe stopper). Very fashionable in the 80s, it gradually gave way to inline skating, without ever really disappearing. Today, it is making a comeback, with major brands such as Impala Rollerskates, Chaya and Rio Roller.

Rollerblades for every discipline

The roller quad allows you to practice many different disciplines, but you have to choose the right model of roller quad.

- The roller quad for walking: whether in the street or on a track, the roller quad for walking requires a solid deck, and you should not hesitate to focus on the comfort of the boot;

- The roller quad for dancing: an artistic sliding discipline, the dance roller skate often has a heel. The boot must be tight to maintain the ankle during figures;

- Roller derby: a speed sport practised on an oval track, roller derby consists in forming two teams whose opponents must outdo each other to score points. You need quad rollerblades with a low shoe and a short deck to practice this discipline;

- The roller quad for the skatepark: although one expects mainly in-line rollerblades for an aggressive practice, the roller quad asserts itself in the skateparks. For this practice of roller skating, the plastic boot is a recommended accessory, in order to resist to shocks.

How to choose your quad rollerblades?

The roller quad is chosen according to the discipline, but also according to the level of the rider, and especially his preferences. Several criteria must be taken into account.

- The quad shoe: for acrobatic or artistic practice, a high shoe is recommended, as it maintains the ankle well and reduces the risk of injury. The low shoe offers more manoeuvrability and better thrust, ideal for derby, slalom or speed;

- The roller quad deck: if aluminium is recommended for its solidity, nylon is also a good solution for beginners. The trucks on the deck are made of cast aluminium. A diameter of 8 mm makes it easy to change the wheels;

- Roller quad wheels: It is possible to adapt the size of the roller skate wheels. Small and wide wheels are good for stability, while large and thin wheels are good for manoeuvrability. As for the hardness of the wheel, the softer it is, the more stable it is, the harder it is, the more manoeuvrable it is.
