8. Bearings
Rollerblade in-line skates
use superior quality bearings
that allow for greater
efficiency and means skating
becomes easier and also
impacts speed.

9. What makes a good, quality skate?
Good ankle support
Good bearings and hubs in the wheels. Most low cost
skates have low-grade bearings and no hubs in the
wheels. As a result the skates do not roll well.
Good closure system should provide good support
while avoiding pressure points.

10. Kids
Kids love in-line skating, and are
able to quickly master the skills
needed to skate.
It is a great way to get kids
outdoors and having fun! Skating
will improve their balance, co-
ordination and muscle flexibility.
