You know... the "click of death" caused by stepping onto your other blade.

It's often followed by an expletive just before you hit the ice in a heap.

Oh I tend to do that on 2x2 roller skates a lot, step onto the wheels. Been lucky most the time so far, catching my balance before I nose-dive...

Found a discussion of Picskates vs. Snow White on "SkateLog Forum
Inline Skating and Quad Roller Skating".

Kay,

I have never used the pics. They look easier for spins from what I have seen because of that roller in the front. I see people spin on the front wheel and roller. The only spin I accomplished thus far on the snow whites felt like it was on the front wheel but I am not sure. I have not been successful since. Once I start doing some spins I will let you know how well they work.

Now if I can just keep from getting laughed at or beat up for that matter by all the X-game rollerbladers at the skate park. I don't think they like me doing Spirals on their turf!
