Inline Skating

Inline skating draws its roots from roller skating but are performed on inline skates which consist of usually four or five wheels on each skate arranged in a single line.

Inline skating's popularity grew rapidly in the late 80s and early 90s triggered by a successful redesign of older models of inline skates and promotion of its use by the company Rollerblade, Inc.

Inline skating can usually be seen on roads and sidewalks, various street furnishings like fences and steps, and on special tracks and areas which include skate parks and half-pipes as well as in skating rinks.

Inline Skating Tricks

Inline skating tricks consist of various maneuvers which involve jumps, slides and grinds.

These styles are known as aggressive skating and free skating with each style having its own specially designed boots and variations on inline skating tricks.

Aggressive inline skating boots are usually more rigid and heavy with smaller wheels.

Free inline skating boots are also more rigid but have larger wheels for additional speed.
