multimediatechy Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hi, Any rollerbladers out there????? Before rollerblades even existed I used to do Figure Skating as a child...so I've skated for years. Rollerblading is fantastic and I enjoy the freedom it brings. I think it flows better than skateboarding - but I like skateboarding too. As a rollerblader first I will always prefer it. Which inliners are your favourites? I like the Yasotoko brothers, Taig Khris and Fabiola De Silva (she's awesome!). The double backflip is probably one of the craziest tricks ever...what is your opinions???? later folks!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I love rollerblading also but my favorite brand escapes me but it's the most popular one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimediatechy Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 I have Salomon skates - they are great (but a bit expensive)...definitely worth it though. I used to have bauer skates and I wouldn't buy any other brands...then I went for the Salomon skates and I wouldn't look back :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Bauer makes hockey skates, I wouldn't buy hockey skates for recreational use. I have $500 hockey skates and like $150 recreation skates. Use to have some aggressive inline skates too when I was like 14, I think they were Roces. Now all those aggressive ones look like snowboarding boots. But skating is such a geat way to excersise, low impact, and just good cardio all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraggles Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Isn't inline skating the exact same thing as rollerblading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2687 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I still havent mastered the braking part yet, I just crash into a tree or something :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraggles Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Try my technique, it's flawless... Just dive into the nearest patch of grass. It's also quite fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramesees Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 lol, sounds like my way of stopping too Scraggles, beats falling on your ass on concrete :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multimediatechy Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 Isn't inline skating the exact same thing as rollerblading? yeah of course...just put the two definitions because some people prefer to call rollerblading inline skating. Rollerblade is a company but the sport is defined as inline skating (non branded)...thats why you hear on XGames the sport being referred to as Agressive In-line and so on. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

multimediatechy Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 I still havent mastered the braking part yet, I just crash into a tree or something So people besides falling, can anyone do any tricks???? What about skateparks or Vert skaters??? Livingston Skate Park in Scotland is the prime location here..i've been there and its really cool...its more for skateboarding though as that is what is was designed for (http://www.livingstonalive.co.uk/liviskatepark.shtml or http://www.livirolling.com). :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted August 4, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 4, 2004 hehe, i always skated more for the hockey aspect, but i've done a 360/grab down a couple of stairs. thats about it though...too old for all the tricks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
