Going to vote blades here. I always struggled with skates as a kid and was constantly frustrated (and crying to mother) because I couldnt do it. Then the kid down the street got a spankin' new pair of blades and let me try them and zoom away I went. As far as tricks go I'd say blades too, but thats just my assumption based off all the EXTREME SPORTS crap thats on tv, you see blades a whole lot more than skates.
I also skate around my home town and get yelled at and called a "fruit booter" by the 12 yr olds who skate board and claim that bladers "stole all our tricks". Amazing how those kids will insult a 21 yr old to his face with no fear, I sure as hell didnt do that when i was 12...
