Inline skating is one of my favorite sports. Inline skating is a great way to combine fitness with fun. This sport is suitable for all ages and can be done almost anywhere. Inline skating is not difficult to do. However, if you are a beginner, I want to give you several tips before you start.
There are many types of skates that you can choose from. Inline skates can be used for aggressive skating, fitness training, hockey, or racing. Aggressive skates are made for doing stunts on ramps and rails. They have small wheels, a grind plate, and are constructed to withstand extreme use. Fitness skates are lighter than other skates, offer a lower-cut boot, and have large wheels. Hockey skates are made of stitched leather and lace up for a very close fit. They have wheels designed for very quick movements. Racing skates have five wheels, and a low-cut leather boot.
