Inline Skates
Originally designed to emulate ice skating in the off season, inline
skating has evolved over the past 20 years into a national pastime. A
majority of inline skaters today fall into the catagory of
"recreational" skaters — meaning that the purpose of skating is to
maintain a healthier lifestyle in a fun, exhilerating fashion.
Recreational skaters frequently share pathways with joggers or
bicyclists, so skating under control and observing the pathway rules
are particularly important. Safe skaters are asked to do their part by
wearing protective gear and respecting others while skating. After
skating for some time, many recreational skaters move on to more
specific aspects of the sport.
