I have a pair of inline skates but the road is too rough to use them. Are there wheels I can put on my skates or skates that I can use on the road? I want to take my dogs, so I need to be safe.
Inline skates, I want a pair of inline skates or roller skates that I can use on asphault.?
When skating rougher terrain, it is best to use the largest wheels that your in-line skates can take, and the softer, the better.
Look at the wheels on your in-line skates. There should be 2 numbers; the size in millimeters (ie: 78mm), and the durometer, which is the hardness (ie: 78A). If the wheels are the original wheels that the skates came with, the size is probably the largest size that it can use. However, if you have been using the original wheels and you%26#039;ve had the skates for awhile, they just may be too worn. One clue that it%26#039;s worn is if there are large gaps between the wheels. Just replacing the wheels with newer ones will make a world of a difference! Now, the hardness. The smaller the number, which is followed by an %26#039;A%26#039;, the softer the urethane. The softer the urethane, the grip is better, and will absorb the shock a lot more. I would not recommend using wheels harder than an 82A on asphalt. If you can get something as soft as a 76A, that would be much better! The harder wheels, like 85A%26#039;s are better on smoother terrain, such as a wooden floor, for racing.
Hope that helps. Happy Rolling! (^_^)
Reply:The post above me is way off. For outdoor use you need HARD wheels. Soft inline wheels are for sport court and other indoor hockey surfaces.
If you use soft wheels outdoors, they will wear out very quickly. And I mean in an hour or so. And since soft wheels are more expensive than hard ones, you%26#039;d be wasting a lot of money.
I always buy Labeda wheels for hockey, and I know that they make a hard, outdoor wheel called the Labeda Asphalt. I think a set of 8 should run you about $40.
Just make sure you get the right size. Just match whatever wheel size is currently on your skates.

Most skates only come with one brake but you can usually change it to the other foot if that is the one you prefer to have out front.
A quick test to know which foot to have the brake on is to glide forwards on your skates and to scisors your feet (one forward one back) in each direction. The side that is more comfortable being ahead should be your braking foot.
The big key to effective braking (and much else in skating) is to get some bend in your knees. This allows you to scisors your feet farther. You want the front skate to be completely ahead of the back skate, then you can put more pressure on the brake.
There are tutorials on a couple of sites.
Rollerblade, link to skate lessons on left (www.rollerblade.com/home)
Liz Miller descriptions and Video (www.getrolling.com/orbit/heelbrak.html)
The rollerblade site (link above) also has two animations on different turning methods with good descriptions about how to do them. The A frame is a good place to start and the parallel turn is more advanced. Most of the time, my turns are a mixture of the two.
The key to the A frame turn is the outer foot. Most of your weight goes on it and it controls the turn with your inside foot just supporting you.
The key to the parallel turn is the leading (inside) foot. It guides you around the turn.
Both turns can be done with both feet solidly on the ground but, as with many skating moves, are easier if you take a little weight off the toes.
If you do an online search for inline skate clubs in your area, you may find people who can show you the details in person.
Reply:put more weight on the inner foot with respect to the turn. to break just lift your toes.

Inline Skates?
I am looking for a pair of skates... They are attachable to shoes i believe and have 1 wheel on the back and 1 on the front. There is also a large gap inbetween them for grinding. I saw a guy at the skatepark with them can anybody tell me what they are called and where i can get them?
Inline Skates?
Those dont attach to your shoes there boots. They are called agressive inline skates. They have them at pro stores and sports authority. They have them online too. A good pair runs about 250-300 bucks.

Inline skates?
I am having a party at the roller skating rink tomorrow and I was practicing skating in them up and down the driveway tonight. I came inside after about 5 minutes because my feet were hurting so bad it they were pulsing %26amp; going numb! How can I make my skates comfortable (maybe shoe inserts??) or adjust my skating technique to make my feet hurt less?
Thanks.
Inline skates?
try putting on longer socks and maybe thicker socks. try this technique out to see which one is most comfortable for you. good luck skating

I am looking for a fast pair of inline skates that can really take a beating. I play street Hockey. I was using my friends pair of Tour TR8000 Inlines yesterday and they were AWESOME! Does anyone know a pair that is good for Hockey, or a place where I can get some TR8000%26#039;s?

Inline skates?
anybody 30 and over that can skate. I have bought some inline skates so I can skate with my kids and i%26#039;ve just had a go and i%26#039;m all over the place. My kids make it look so easy. Is it an age thing or a balance thing.
Inline skates?
I love this question. I am an in-line skater. Firstly you must understand that in-line skating involves a number of actions: a) balance. b) forward trust. c) turning. d) slowing. e) stopping. Not to mention falling down.
Quite similar to cycling.
Secondly, you must know which one to master first. As you can see from the list, balancing is the most important. Break it into 2 steps again: one when you are standing - not moving; the other when you are moving. When you are standing, bend your knees and hips, with your feet in v shape, lean slightly forward, this would help to lower your center of gravity and less likely to fall. If you still cannot stand without falling, try placing the skates right angle to each other.
Next, after you can stand without falling, pick an inclined path where it ends with a grass patch. Go down the path while you learn to balance in motion. Try it again and again. By the way, you can train yourself standing on a grass patch and walk on it first. Of cause with the skates on.
The next important things, however is to learn how to fall. You must get all the protective gears: Helmet, wrist guards, elbow guards and knee guards. Everything that is mentioned. Learn to fall forwards and break the fall with those guards. Learn it on a grass patch. Do not skate on wet surface, you are asking for trouble.
After you have mastered this 2 important steps, the rest would fall into the picture. You can start trusting yourself forward, learn to slow with the hind brake, turn slowly towards left or right and even emergency stop or turning 180 degrees.
It is a great sport. Do not give up and happy skating.
Reply:look..i%26#039;m a kid and have a problem too..(rthen again i%26#039;ve skated on inline and regular skates like 10 times..) it%26#039;s hard to mantain ur balance and momentum...

i%26#039;m 22 and taught a 40 year old how to skate and play hockey on inline skates,
Reply:Practice, I was 30+ when I first got a pair of inline skates.
Reply:Hi ,hope u master it ,wear wrist and elbow protection as well as a helmet at least for a while.I f you have good quality blades it will be easier. Relax,dont look down,look ahead and pick a smooth parking lot even if U have to drive there.Enjoy.

Inline Skates??
What is a pair of inline skates that doesnt even look like you are wearing skates? They are nice and small. Can anyone tell me where I can find a pair of skates like this?
Inline Skates??
There really aren%26#039;t any. The closest I could suggest would either be the Hypno skates (www.hypnoskates.com/) or a racing skate with a smaller frame to replace the usual ones.
The boots on the newer hypno skates look more like a skate boot. If you can find an older pair or a pair of similar ones from Rollerblade (about 5 years ago, I don%26#039;t remember the model) the boots look more like hiking boots.
The racing boots are much shorter and barely come up over the ankle. It takes some time to get used to skating without the support of the taller boot (which is why the rec/fitness skates have taller boots).
You might be able to find a frame that was designed for smaller wheels (most frames that will mount on them are designed for 80mm-110mm wheels) or modify a UFS frame for agressive skates (designed for tiny extremely hard wheels) to fit the boot.

Reply:Hockey skates and racing skates are generally low-profile. They don’t have the big heavy boots and plastic straps, but are more flexible and lace-up. This may not work for you though, considering that you don’t mention playing hockey or racing.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think there is a pair .
