>>14622117I was testing something on that daycare route.
If you dash the stick to go max speed on skates, then let off a -little- bit while still going full speed, your character will shift into that parallel foot swerving thing and maintain full speed rather than slowing down. You have to keep it at that just out of max area though, so it'd be impractical for turning too often. Off of a verbal count, it seemed just as fast as dashing again as soon as the speed was about to drop.
The issue is this: the bike was just as fast, if not faster, with better turning. Not only that, but it could maintain speed in grass, while having instant acceleration. I can't objectively think of a reason to use skates over them outside of "too lazy to press the 'registered' button," which I'll admit I am sometimes.
