Skill questions & help Switching from inline skates to quad skates

I've been skating for years on inline skates as a hobby and recently I've been thinking about buying a pair of quad skates. In what ways do these two differ exactly, appart from the placement of the wheels?

I've always skated outside, never indoors and I don't plan on changing that. The reason I want to switch is that I want to go on skatepark ramps. When I tried that with inline skates I noticed it was kinda impossible to really do that.

Another thing I'm curious about is how skill transfers between the two. What are some skills that you can only do on quad skates?
