How do rollerblades work?

The workings of rollerblades are relatively simple. A skate boot sits atop a frame, made from either plastic, aluminum, or other composite material. The boot usually features a closure system of standard laces, a velcro strap across the ankle, and a ratcheting strap near the cuff, at the ankle.

The frame houses a set of wheels, most commonly a set of 4 per skate. The wheels contain a bearing with and space for an axle. The wheels are placed within the frame and secured by the axle.

When put together, the bearings and axles work in tandem with the boot and energy generated by the skaters legs and feet.
