Inline skates information

Used skates are a good option if you don't want to spend $150 or more on inline skates. Since a fair number of people give up on inline skating fairly quickly, there's a good selection of gently used skates on eBay. And since you can replace the wheels and brake on most Rollerblade and K2 skates, you can easily upgrade an older pair of skates.

The K2 website contains information on all of their current models and accessories as well as technical information on K2's frames, design and cuff systems.

The Rollerblade website offers information about the company, skate maintenance information and a list by state of places to skate. You'll also find information about the various Rollerblade models as well as a dealer locator.

You'll also learn different techniques and be able to view tutorials showing how to do tricks like backwards stair riding and jumps.

The Inline Skating Resource Center has a guide to buying inline skates as well as information on skate care and maintenance. They also offer many other resources for the inline skater including a list of certified instructors, clubs and events and the latest news in the inline skating world.
