Before you think, that you want to learn skating, you will need to determine the activity you are most interested in and choose a type of skate made for that purpose. One of the great things about inline skates is that they can be adapted to a wide variety of activities.
Hockey - These are constructed very much like ice-hockey skates. They have wheels designed for the very quick movements of this sport.
===========================
Speed - Racing skates have five wheels, a long wheel base, and a low-cut leather boot. They typically have no brake.
===========================
Freestyle - Most moves that are done on ice can be done with inline skates. The boot is similar to ice figure skates, but uses a pick stop mounted on the frame.
===========================
Recreational - These are the skates that started it all. They are typically designed with a plastic boot to hold the ankle firmly and wheels that permit a large degree of control.
===========================
Fitness - Similar to recreational skates, they are usually lighter, offer a lower- cut boot, and have larger wheels. These skates are also used for cross-training.
===========================
Aggressive - These skates are made for doing stunts on ramps and rails. They have smaller wheels, grind plates, and are constructed to withstand extreme use.
===========================
The Breaks:
The inline skater slows down and stops by applying a brake that is usually attached to the heel of the boot. The brake consists of a rubber pad that drags on the pavement when the toe is lifted.
The Wheels:
Most recreational skates are made with a frame that will accept a larger wheel; however, the increase in size permitted by the frame may be minimal. The skater can avoid this problem by buying the fitness skates that he or she wants to "grow" into, replacing the large wheels with smaller ones, and learning on these more comfortable "training" wheels.
===========================
Have Fun!
Inline skating is a great way to combine fitness with fun; it's a sport suitable for all ages and can be done almost anywhere. So grab a friend or family member, get outside, and enjoy your new skates!
