2. Roller skating is the traveling on surfaces with
roller skates. It is a form of recreational activity as
well as a sport, and can also be a form of
transportation. Skates generally come in three
basic varieties: quad roller skates, inline skates or
blades and tri-skates, though some have
experimented with a single-wheeled "quintessence
skate" or other variations on the basic skate
design. In America, this hobby was most popular,
first between 1935 and the early 1960s and then
in the 1970s, when polyurethane wheels were
created and "Disco" oriented roller rinks were the
rage and then again in the 1990s when in-line
outdoor roller skating, thanks to the
improvement made to in-line roller skates in 1981
by Scott Olson, took hold.
3. Ice skating is moving
on ice by using ice skates. It
can be done for a variety of
reasons, including exercise,
leisure, traveling, and various
sports. Ice skating occurs
both on specially
prepared indoor and outdoor
tracks, as well as on naturally
occurring bodies of frozen
water, such as lakes and
rivers.
4. Skateboarding is an action sport which
involves riding and performing tricks
using a skateboard. Skateboarding can
also be considered a recreational
activity, an art form, a job, or a method
of transportation Skateboarding has
been shaped and influenced by many
skateboarders throughout the years. A
2002 report found that there were 18.5
million skateboarders in the world. 85
percent of skateboarders polled who had
used a board in the last year were under
the age of 18, and 74 percent were male.
Since the 1970s, skateparks have been
constructed specifically for use by
skateboarders, Freestyle
BMXers, aggressive skaters, and very
recently, scooters.[
5. 1743: First recorded use of roller skates, in a
London stage performance. The inventor of
this skate is unknown.
1760: First recorded skate invention, by John
Joseph Merlin, who created a primitive inline
skate with small metal wheels.
1818: Roller skates appeared on the ballet stage
in Berlin.
1819: First patented roller skate design, in
France by M. Petitbled. These early skates were
similar to today's inline skates, but they were
not very maneuverable. It was difficult with
these skates to do anything but move in a
straight line and perhaps make wide sweeping
turns.
Rest of the 19th century: inventors continued
to work on improving skate design.
1823: Robert John Tyers of London patented a
skate called the Rolito. This skate had five
wheels in a single row on the bottom of a shoe
or boot.
6. 1857: Finally, roller skating had gained
enough momentum to warrant the opening of
the first public skating rinks. The Strand of
London and Floral Hall enjoyed these first
skating rinks.[4]
1863: The four-wheeled turning roller skate,
or quad skate, with four wheels set in two
side-by-side pairs( front and rear ), was first
designed, in New York City by James
Leonard Plimpton in an attempt to improve
upon previous designs. The skate contained
a pivoting action using a rubber cushion that
allowed the skater to skate a curve just by
pressing his weight to one side or the other,
most commonly by leaning to one side. It was
a huge success, so much so that the first
public roller skating rinks were opened in
1866, first in New York City by Plimpton in his
furniture store and then in [Newport, Rhode
Island]with the support of Plimpton. The
design of the quad skate allowed easier turns
and maneuverability, and the quad skate
came to dominate the industry for more than
a century.
8. 1876: William Brown in Birmingham, England
patented a design for the wheels of roller
skates. Brown's design embodied his effort to
keep the two bearing surfaces of an axle, fixed
and moving, apart. Brown worked closely
with Joseph Henry Hughes, who drew up the
patent for a ball or roller bearing race for
bicycle and carriage wheels in 1877. Hughes'
patent included all the elements of an
adjustable system. These two men are thus
responsible for modern day roller skate
and skateboard wheels, as well as the ball
bearing race inclusion in velocipedes—later to
become motorbikes and automobiles. This was
arguably, the most important advance in the
realistic use of roller skates as a pleasurable
pastime.

1876: The toe stop was first patented. This
provided skaters with the ability to stop
promptly upon tipping the skate onto the toe.
Toe stops are still used today on most quad
skates and on some types of inline skates.
1877: The Royal Skating indoor skating ring
building is erected rue Veydt, Brussels.[5]
9. A study by Federico Formenti of
the University of Oxford suggests that the
earliest ice skating happened in
southern Finland more than 3,000 years
ago.[1] Originally, skates were merely
sharpened, flattened bone strapped to the
bottom of the foot. Skaters did not actually
skate on the ice, but rather glided on top of
it. True skating emerged when a steel blade
with sharpened edges was used. Skates now
cut into the ice instead of gliding on top of
it. Adding edges to ice skates was invented
by the Dutch in the 13th or 14th century.
These ice skates were made of steel, with
sharpened edges on the bottom to aid
movement. The construction of modern ice
skates has stayed largely the same since
then. In the Netherlands, ice skating was
considered proper for all classes of people,
as shown in many pictures by the Old
Masters.
10. In the 1600s, young nobles organized sleigh races on the canals near the
palace at The Hague, sometimes at night by torchlight, often followed by
dancing. Business slowed in the cold season, and when the lakes and canals
froze over, everyone skated – young and old, men and women, peasants, and
princes. A unity of classes is established through the excitement of the sport.
The skaters glide by, hands clasped behind their backs and body bent
slightly forward, or in couples with an arm around each other’s waist, or in
long snakelike formations - the entire column of skaters leaning to the right
and then the left, quickly, and in unison. Adding color to the scene, instead
of wearing overcoatsor furs, people skate in their ordinaryindoor clothes
with extra layers ofwool underneath. Caparisoned horses, their headgear
topped by a plume, draw painted wooden sleighs.
11. We could think that the invention of in
line skates is very recent, but in fact,
the first known skates were invented in
1760 by John Joseph Merlin (1735 -
1803) from Huy in Belgium. During an
interview, Sam Nieswizski explains us
that we were not really sure that the
first skate were "inline". It is possible
because it is inspired of ice skates. We
partially know who invented the roller
skate. Someone found another Dutch
inventor of the beginning of XVIIth
century but there is no precise
documentation about this subject.
Merlin used straps and metal wheels
under a piece of wood to realize his first
skates. During a reception in london,
John Joseph Merlin fell and hurt
seriouslly.
12. Skateboarding was probably born sometime
in the late 1940s or early 1950s when surfers
in California wanted something to surf when
the waves were flat. No one knows who
made the first board; it seems that several
people came up with similar ideas at around
the same time. These first skateboarders
started with wooden boxes or boards with
roller skate wheels attached to the bottom.
An American WAC, Betty Magnuson,
reported seeing French children in
the Montmartre section of Paris riding on
boards with roller skate wheels attached to
them in late 1944. The boxes turned into
planks, and eventually companies were
producing decks of pressed layers of wood —
similar to the skateboard decks of today.
During this time, skateboarding was seen as
something to do for fun besides surfing, and
was therefore often called "sidewalk surfing"
and performed barefoot.
13. The first manufactured skateboards
were ordered by a Los Angeles,
California surf shop, meant to be used
by surfers in their downtime.The shop
owner, Bill Richard, made a deal with
the Chicago Roller Skate Company to
produce sets of skate wheels, which
they attached to square wooden
boards. Accordingly, skateboarding
was originally denoted "sidewalk
surfing" and early skaters
emulated surfing style and
maneuvers. Crate scooters preceded
skateboards, and were born of a
similar concept, with the exception of
having a wooden crate attached to
the nose (front of the board), which
formed rudimentary handlebars

16. Getting vertical- Skating really isn’t that hard once you get used to the
movement, but finding your balance can be a bit challenging at first. Get a
feel for your skates by walking around on a flat, carpeted surface. Make sure
to pay attention to how your weight is distributed, and try to keep it centered
equally over the skates, not just on the heel or toe. Bend your knees and
keep your center of gravity low.
17. Skating forward- Once you’re able to stand reasonably well on your skates, it’s
time for forward momentum! Position your feet in a loose “V” position, with
your heels almost together and your toes apart. Use your arms to balance, and
lean onto your right foot. Coast forward on your right foot, giving yourself a
very small push with your left. Go slowly and get used to the gliding motion,
being sure to keep your body pointed in the direction your weight-bearing foot
is rolling.
18. Putting on the brakes- Getting the hang of rolling is
relatively easy, but how do you stop? One method is to
use the toe-stop on your skates, however, most
experienced skaters agree that using a “T” stop is
actually safer and easier. In a “T” stop, you actually
turn one of your feet perpendicular to the other to
create a “T” shape.
19. Think of your knees as your shock absorbers. When bent and soft, they can work
hard for you to absorb the irregularities of rough surfaces, soften bumps and
distribute your weight as you skate around curves. Locked knees will decrease your
stability in any maneuver and transmit jarring motions through your whole body
with every crack or crevice that you skate over.
Imagine an extra six to eight pounds of weight hanging on any one of the four
sides of your body while inline skating. It would definitely affect your balance and
your ability to maneuver. Center your head over your shoulders and hold it up, so
it does not become an extra weight that you will need to compensate for in order to
maintain balance while inline skating.
20. Ntheir arms around to regain balance when a fall is imminent. This is not a
good plan, since the same fluttering movements that help your tread water in a
swimming pool will only throw you more off balance on inline skates. Your
skates will react to all body movements. If you're losing your balance, keep the
upper body still, keep the arms still and any movement should be to the basic
or ready stance.
21. Any beginner must learn to ride on their skateboard before attempting
any tricks. So its important to practice moving for a while. Here's how –
place your front foot on the board over the front truck bolts.
Push yourself forward with your back foot placing most of your weight
over your front foot. Then place your back foot on the board near the
tail and coast. While pushing you should be facing forward, but while
coasting you can turn both your body and feet to the side for stability.
22. skateboarders are often said to be druggies, but this is
simply not true... True skateboarders have no use for
drugs. It's all about landing those tricks! landing a
trick is the ultimate high.
I could say a lot more but i don't have a lot of time to
write so I'll end it hear.
skateboarding is not a fad, it's a way of life.
while i may not skateboard every day, i do it for the
right reasons... not to get girls or to cash in on the rise
in popularity that skateboarding has suddenly taken.
23. The faggiest sport ever! Gayer than a no hands
bobbing for footlongs in chilli contest using only you
buttcheeks. Gayer than Bieber. Also known as
fruitbooting.
Don't be a Fag and fruitboot. Aggressive inline skating
is for homos like Justin Bieber.
