Chapter 9: Advance skating with In-line racing & roller hockey
Synopsis
When the skater is more competent and experienced in skating, there are many options open to try, without the high risks of probable injury. However caution should still be exercised always.
In line speed skating is actually a racing sport using inline skates. Some would refer to it as roller sports and even inline racing as the participants popularly call it. It is probably a spin off from the more conventional way of simply skating for leisure.
Originally evolved from racing on traditional roller skates, the roller sports or inline racing is now popularly switched between inline and ice speed skating thus allow the participant to be able to get involved in such activities all year round depending on the appropriate corresponding season.
Great Info
Generally being of a deeper and faster style movement, these are also done for recreational reasons but with a competitive edge. The wheels are being designed to be increasingly larger so that a longer wheel base is evident.
Brakes are not normally used for either of these styles; therefore there is a need to be competent in ways that allow the skater to stop effectively. Examples of which would include slaloming which is actually a form of skating in S curves or V plowing, otherwise known as snow plowing.
These can be done with the heels being pushed outward and the toes inward. The v stop is usually used in situation where there is little lateral and forward room to stop.
Then there is also the T stop technique where the one foot is dragged perpendicular to being the other; however this sometimes wears the wheel of the skates quite quickly. Picking up one foot and setting it down quickly and repeatedly in a perpendicular fashion, to the forward motion will also help to effectively stop the skating motion.
