Are there special types of inline skates for doing tricks and stuff?

i want to take up inline skating but i can never do just a simple jump! in all the videos they look like their light and dont have breaks am i right?

Are there special types of inline skates for doing tricks and stuff?
There are specific skates made for doing tricks. This version of inline skating is often referred to as %26quot;aggressive inline%26quot; or %26quot;freestyle rolling.%26quot; These types of skates do not have brakes and are, in most cases, heavier than fitness skates since they


have to withstand more abuse from grinding and jumping gaps.





I have included a link below to a site I put together with more information on the sport and the industry. You can find several links on this page taking you to companies and websites dedicated to the sport.





If you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch!

I want to learn how to rollerskate/inline skate,what kind of skates should i get & whats the best way 2 learn?

I really want to learn how to inline skate, but i guess i need to learn how to actually skate first. What is a good skate that would fit my needs that is also affordable? (less than $100)


Having one skate specifically for roller skating and one for inline skating is fine. I would first need to learn how to rollerskate so yeah. Also, what would you recommend for me to learn how to rollerskate/inline skate? I live in the bay area in california so if anyone knows any places to learn that would be great. I am a teen male so i wouldnt want to go to places that wouldnt accept me. (oops, now im starting to not make sense) Thanks!

Dude why buy 2 pairs? Just get your in-lines, elbow pads, knee pads and a helmet. Go to a smooth surface and keep trying till you roll and you%26#039;ll get better and better. Go to a skate shop and they will recommend a nice pair of in-lines for you. Kowabunga !!!
Reply:i%26#039;d say just go with a skate that has a comfortable liner and doesnt rub on your shin then as you get better and better try something like hockey skating or aggressive (freestyle) skating Report It

Reply:Ok, first of all it%26#039;s really opinion. I acctually roller skate than roller blade. Roller blading is always some sort of imbalance because the wheels are %26quot;in-line%26quot; in the middle of your foot and always can stumble you. I roller skate inside and outside, cause the wheels are located on the strong balance point areas of the foot. But it can be hard to find some quads (roller skates) around. The best place to start is always the rink. From there you can take lessons and get better to then skate outside. There is also jamskating and dance with quads too.





But if you really wanna go ahead with roller blades, your choice, as once again it%26#039;s opinion. Hope this helps!

Is there anything i should know before i buy my first pair of inline skates? know-all sales men intimidate me.

do hard wheels suit a tar road or should i go for soft wheels?





also, is it true that the bigger the wheels the better?





another thing, are inline-skates a one-size-fits-all thing? can a 20 year old, a 17 year old and a 13 year old all use the same pair?


we won%26#039;t get much time to use them so there%26#039;s really no point in getting 3 different pairs.





one final question - is a 70-80 USD budget fine?

You won%26#039;t get a choice of wheels when you buy the skates. Most makers put wheels on that are suitable for outdoor use.





You say a %26quot;tar road%26quot;. I hope that it means something different to you than to me. To me, that is a gravel road that has had light tar soaked into the surface and would not be very suitable to skating. I hope that you mean a road that has been made of asphalt, which can be really nice for skating.





Yes, bigger wheels roll smoother and easier. I generally don%26#039;t recommend skates that cannot use 80mm or larger wheels because the smaller wheels are harder to find replacements for and tend to be of lower quality.





More than age is the size of the skate. Best is to have them fit snugly all around the foot (without crushing to toes). Obviously, this doesn%26#039;t work well for multiple sizes. If the skates are more than a size off, the person with the smallest feet may find that the skates flop around on their feet instead of being stable. Obviously, they can%26#039;t skate together if they are sharing skates.





$70-80 is on the lower end of good skates. The ones you find for $50 at Target or Walmart tend to be really low end.


For skates in your end look for the big box sporting goods stores like Dick%26#039;s or Sports Authority. The Rollerblade and K2 brands are the major skate makers in the US. Bladerunner is a lower end brand made by Rollerblade (but they aparently don%26#039;t want their name on them).





Rember to get at least helmets and wrist guards. A bicycle helmet is good. Some of the new ones are adjustable for head size with a knob at the back.

Does anyone know where I can buy aggressive inline skates?

I wanted to know if anyone knew where I could buy wholesale aggressive inline skates? I have looked all over the place and cannot find a distributor. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Does anyone know where I can buy aggressive inline skates?
Have you contacted the manufacturers?


Rollerblade? K2? Roces?





They all want to sell more skates and have regional reps that would be more than willing to work with you.





I suspect that if you contact them via their web sites customer service link, you will get a call.
Reply:hi, maybe you can also try search on 88db for the inline skates distributor, if available...good luck

Is it possible to grind on inline fitness skates?

im going to get a pair and the aggresive ones aare kinda pricy, i%26#039;m not going to even grind that much, i just want to know that if i wanted to , i could. also, can i do other tricks on them? like the spins and stuff? sorry these%26#039;ll be my first pair (transition form skateboard to inline skates)

Is it possible to grind on inline fitness skates?
You can definitely do spins and skate transition with them. You could also do frontside and backside grinds, but you would have to take out the middle two wheels first. You could do soul tricks as well, but you%26#039;d have to lean in a lot, because the soul space is more like a crevice.

What size should I buy for inline skates?

My shoe size is 7 or 7_1/2. Should I buy a size 8 for the inline skates? answer

What size should I buy for inline skates?
you should always go 1 size up your regular shoe size. so 8 or a 8_1/2 should be whats best for you. BUT you need to do some research on the brand your buying so you can make sure if the brand runs true to size or they go bigger than your normal shoe size.

Where can I buy a replacement boot insert for inline skates?

The problem with my inline skates is that the padded boot has become thin over time around the ankle area, right where the strap fastens. This causes so much pain when I ride that I can%26#039;t ride these skates anymore. The rest of the skate is fine, so I don%26#039;t want to buy a whole new pair. Does anyone know where I can buy just the boot part of the skate to replace the old one?
