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. |
