Roller Skating

Roller skating is like ice skating but you’re on four wheels, not blades. You don’t need ice like ice skating, you just use any smooth floor. There’s only two basic varieties on skates: quad roller skates and inline skates, also known as blades, though some have experimented with a single-wheeled "quintessence skate" or other variations on the basic skate design.

How do you shuffle roller skate?

Shuffling is not that hard, but does take a little time to practice. The concept is pretty simple. You want to basically incorporate three moves/movements into one, and do them on beat as if you were doing a three step dance. Any moves you will are technically considered shuffling so don't worry about the right or wrong shuffle. To most people, as long as you're doing it on beat, they will think you are good.

You will probably want to loosen your trucks that way your skates are more free to move around.

Below is a simple shuffle I've seen people do. You could learn this and then make it your own by adding or changing moves.

1. While skating, have your left and right feet next to each other, and then take right or left foot and do a a half moon motion so that your right foot, for example, is almost in same position but on the left side of your left foot.

2. Bring the right foot back and have your feet next to each other (this completes first move). Now pump your legs - so move your left and right foot out and back in at the same time. (Pretend there is a child about to go through your legs, so try to make them wider so you don't run them over.)

3. You've done the first two moves. Now take the foot you started with and put it behind the other foot (so, for example, you originally did the half moon by putting your right foot over your left. You now want to put your right foot behind your left almost like in a slant motion).

4. Now you've done all three moves. Just repeat.

Yes, that's why the Zamboni must come out to refreeze the ice and fill in the grooves. The blade heats the ice slightly as it skates over it. It creates the grooves because it melts the ice where it glides.

What are the best rollerblades for women?

There is no one right answer to this question because every skater is different. Some skaters prefer to skate long distances while other prefer a casual skate around the block. Some prefer to skate for fitness on a daily basis, while others are recreational skaters who may only skate once a week or a few times a month. Some skaters are more advanced than others and they desire higher speeds and other specific high end features.

Bottom line is that the best rollerblades for women are skates that are built specifically for women because the design will accommodate the anatomical differences that exist between men and women. The performance features should match the skill level of the skater and meet the skating style that the skater desires.
