I have never been skating, but it looks like great fun. Do you skate?
I used to Inline skates when I was young. They were a different type of roller skate.
I've never heard of that. What does it involve?
Well the inline skate has 2-5 wheels in a single line, wheres the quad skate have two front and two rear wheels.
Oh yes, I've seen them but didn't know what they were called. It must be much more difficult than regular roller skating.
Its easier than it looks really. Some inline skates will have a rubber brake on the back for recreational users.
I'd certainly make use of that brake, lol! Are their competitions relating to inline skating?
There are all types including tricks and races. The modern inline skate was made as a substitute to ice skates. The Russian athletes used then to train when ice was not an option.
