Not to disrespect quads, I shredded on them up until inline skates came along, but inlines are so much faster. We used to power-slide the old clay wheels when we played hockey. I even played against a guy who used them for inline hockey but he was easily the slowest and least maneuverable player out there.

I don't have mad skillz but I have hung out on some night skates in Boston. Now those guys and gals were truly crazy. Like rail-grinding, frame-breaking, sparks-flying, straight-down-stairs, car-jumping crazy.
