Men Skates

Roller Skating

Roller skating is especially popular among young children, as roller skates are often used to learn how to inline skate. Many adults skip this step and start directly on inline skates or speed skates!

Inline Skates

The most popular and well-known of the three are inline skates, which are quick and easy to put on, have a brake pad, and are suitable for (short) trips! Unlike speed skates, inline skates are very maneuverable, making them also suitable for performing tricks.

Speed Skates

Speed skates are also known as speed skates, which naturally reveals that they are very suitable for skating at high speeds! With speed skates, you can cover longer distances more quickly, but due to their limited maneuverability, they are not suitable for use on a half pipe or other objects in the skate park.

Frequently Asked Questions

What traffic rules apply while inline skating?

In the Netherlands, inline skaters are legally pedestrians, and therefore the same traffic rules apply to inline skaters as to pedestrians. This means that you may inline skate on both the sidewalk and the bike path, but it is forbidden to inline skate on public roads. You may only skate on the roadway in places where there is no sidewalk or bike path available.

What are the best places to inline skate?

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced skater, it is always nice to ride on a flat and asphalted surface! On smooth terrain, you can gain more speed, inline skating requires less energy, and you have less chance of falling. Only advantages!

Is inline skating also fun for adults?

Although you might quickly think of children when it comes to inline skating, it is also a very popular sport among adults! Inline skating is not only a great workout for your leg and buttock muscles, but you also train your back and abdominal muscles while inline skating. In addition, you build up stamina while inline skating, which will make you notice that you can skate longer, harder, and further!
