Feel the Thrill: Aggressive Skating
Aggressive inline skating is gaining popularity among many residents of the UK and the
world. With the thrill that skaters feel as they rush down a slope or spin midair, it is no longer a
surprise that many people find the activity enjoyable. Aggressive inline skating involves tricks and
manoeuvres that typical skaters don’t do. There are many ways to enjoy this kind of skating.
Vert Skating
Usually, this refers to skating in a halfpipe. Some skaters have their own platforms they use to do
vertical skating. The thrill in this kind of aggressive skating lies in aerial tricks and midair spins.
Street Skating
Handrails, ledges, stairs, and any other surface available define street skating. Many enjoy it
because it challenges the creativity of the skater by opening many possible tricks in different areas.
In street skating, rollers are free to do long jumps, spins, and grinds on different platforms.
Park Skating
Park skating is a mix of vert skating and street skating. This means it is a free form of
aggressive skating because of the use of ramps and platforms from vert skating and riding
whatever is available like in street skating.
Beginner’s Guide
Newbies in aggressive inline skating have to prepare a few things before setting foot, or
blades, on a park or a rail. First of all, it is necessary to know the basics of inline skating
because aggressive blading involves tricks that take years of practice to master. It is best
to watch how pro skaters do it and observe safety measures before trying the tricks.
Gear is also important in skating. Proline Skates offers a wide array of choices for inline
skates and safety gear. Aggressive inline skating needs boots that have smaller wheels and
bearings for better mobility. Crash pads are also important to avoid any untoward
incident while trying out a sweet grind trick.
