Is it easier for an adult to learn to skate with heelys vs other skates?

I never really learned to skate very well as a kid (with the 4 wheels kind) and it surely didn't get any better when roller blades came out. so, my question, i'd love to learn to skate, but i don't want to fall, so is it easier to learn to skate with the new heelys? thank you.

probably not, heelys are a single wheel in the heel of a skate-shoe type sneaker. they are not good for skating at all, in fact, they are a completely different type of activity. (apparently good for use in malls and supermarkets, when little old ladies come out of no where and almost get plowed down)





learning to skate is best with Rollerblades. don't let the single line of wheels scare you, they are surprisingly easy to use, and much more fun than roller-skates or any other skate





you also use them differently than a skate, you push off with one foot, while gliding with the other, it is almost like glorified walking.





I'm thinking of getting myself a new pair after answering this. heh
Reply:Depends on how good your balance is.
Reply:I don't own heelys but I would think it would be easier. Regular skates you have to learn balance well or fall. Heely's are like shoes.
Reply:skates are better because on heelys adults fall to easy so skates can be hard but their easy to use
