Inline Skating
Popularity of the inline skating game is increasing day by day all over the world. Teenagers and children especially love inline skating, but more and more adults are taking up the sport.
History Of Inline Skating
The first roller skates were invented by John Joseph Merlin. He was born in Belgium in 1735. He is also famous for various kinds of musical instrument inventions. There are many categories of roller skates and inline skates are one of them. Frenchman, Louis Legrange is the inventor of inline skate. He invented them in 1849, for an opera. Actors used inline skates to simulate ice skating on the stage. In the USA, manufacturing of the modern inline skate began in 1953. From 1970s, many companies started to supply equipment for inline skating.
Inline Skating Equipment
The inline skating boot is fixed to a frame that also holds the wheels. Bearings permit the wheels to spin loosely around an axle. A rubber brake is usually added to the frame of the right boot.
Inline Skating Safety Equipment
Inline skaters should always wear a helmet to protect them from the inevitable crash. Additional crash protection equipment can include knee and elbow pads plus a fitted mouthguard. To be extra safe inline skaters should always wear long pants and long sleeved shirts.
