What do you think about the sneakers with roller blades on the bottom?

They kind of annoy me. If you want to wear rollerblades, wear rollerblades. If you're zipping by me in target with just shoes on, well, there is just something not right about that.

I think they're fun... can be dangerous, especially in malls. In my opinion, though, they're kinda funny looking.

Reply:I think they are kinda cool but, parents should carefully watch their children so innocent passersby don't get run down.
Reply:They can be fun to wear. Younger people love them. Kids do
Reply:They're the light up sneakers of this generation. The sneaker companies wanted to create something new and cool, but I think light up sneakers were cooler in their prime.
Reply:Don't like them
Reply:I think they are so dangerous I almost got knocked down by a kid with them. However if I was younger I'd probably love a pair!
Reply:I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM, INFACT, THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OT THEM AS WELL.





THEY SOUND LIEK THEY WOULD BE REALLY COOL THOUGH.

Is it easier to lose weight from exercising with roller skates or roller blades (the ones like ice skates)?

'Quad' skates (wheel at each corner) use a more complicated ankle action, because they have a steering mechanism in them.





If you're not used to skating, that means each of your lower leg muscles needs to work more powerfully and suddenly, to keep you moving correctly. The bigger muscles (hip %26amp; thigh) won't be doing much, because your lower-leg stability wouldn't cope with their full power.





Because 'inline' or 'blade' skates move in a straight line (or a gentle curve), there's less for the small muscles in your lower leg to do. That means your Buttock and Thigh muscles can really get some power down. The force needed to propel you around, isn't really a challenge to these muscles (they are the strongest muscles in your body), so they can burn a lot of fat while they contract smoothly and gently.





The more smoothly you skate, and the more 'gliding' feeling you can get into the movement, the better this activity is at shifting fat. If you are staggering around, starting %26amp; stopping, and making jerky, short movements, these short, vigorous muscle contractions will be burning extra sugar instead of fat (and making you hungry %26amp; tired).





For most people (even for moderately experienced skaters, and especially for skaters who have only used the 'inline' type), a smooth 'gliding' action is easier to perform on the 'inline' (blade) type of skate. This means that they will be more likely to skate gently for a long time, and burn off a lot of fat without being fatigued and ravenously hungry.





'Quad' skates tend to be more tiring, so that you stop skating sooner and eat the whole chocolate machine.





A very experienced skater will be able to use a very nearly identical muscle action with either type of skate, so for them, the effect on bodyfat will be the same using both.





On either kind of skate, using a lot of 'crossover' movements will strongly activate muscles around your waist. By exercising these muscles, you will cause them to tighten up, and 'pinch in' your waist. This looks good, but it also allows you to move better, improves your digestion and supports your spine.





So even without removing any fat (or weight), skating can improve the look, feel and capability of your physique.

Jogging would lose more weight, more muscle movement
Reply:not certain Calandra, but I'm pretty sure it's rollerblades!

Where can i get brakes for Reebok Boa roller blades??

ive already been to canadian tire,sportchek and champs and they dont sell em anywhere HELP!!!

Where can i get brakes for Reebok Boa roller blades??
You won't find them. Reebok never was much into the skate business and got out of it long ago.





Your best bet is to take the block in to a store and see if either the non-ABT brake from Rollerblade or K2's brake is close. Many companies made brakes that mounted similarly. The brakes can be trimmed slightly with a utility knife to make them fit but be sure to keep your origonal screw since some brands used different screw threads.

What are all the parts of professional roller blades?

I don't know what they are!

What are all the parts of professional roller blades?
The term is inline skates. Rollerblade is a company.


Same as Schwin is a company that makes bicycles.





The most visible part is the boot.


Under that is the frame that holds the wheels.


The wheels that you see are actually made up of wheels, bearings and bearing spacers.


There are axles that hold the wheels to the frame. There can be one or two peices to the axles. There are three piece axles but the third piece is actually a special bearing spacer.





If you are talking about agressive skates, you also have grind plates and blocks.

Is there any one else here who roller blades?

I mean like people who go off ramps and people who are actually GOOD and don't just ride on the sidewalk during their "leisure time". If your good like that then what skates would you recommend? I want "agressive skates" that are smooth, fast, and durable. What skates should i get?

Is there any one else here who roller blades?
I have been a skater since I was 4 years old and used Golden Leader skatzs ( 8 wheelers) I have won 11 championships for my country and I teacxh skating as a part time hobby.





When Roller blading came to Australia I became an avid fan . I love my Bauer skates and they are the best as far as i am concerned.





I can do anything on them and they are rugged and well built and give good foot support in the boot.

Which is easier inline skates or roller blades/quads?

I'm going skating tommorrow, and I haven't skated since 6th grade. It takes me a while to get used to it, but Ill soon get it. I just need to know what is the best choice for someone who has trouble with skating. Also in addition to this question is this the techniques to skating?





-Make a V with your feet


-Bend knees slightly


-Don't look down


-March and don't walk

Which is easier inline skates or roller blades/quads?
As a beginner it is easier to stand up and move slowly on quads. (roller blades is a slang term for inline skates, Rollerblade is a brand name)





If you were going to be skating regularly, especially outdoors, I would recommend inline skates but that doesn't sound like the case here.





Don't try to march or walk. With your toes pointed out slightly, slide push off with one foot and roll forward on the other.


For your first strides, just step forward with the pushing foot and repeat in the other direction.


As you get the feel for it, you extend the time when you roll between pushing forward.





As you get better, decrease the angle that your toes are out and push more sideways.
Reply:Inline especialy if you wana do more tricks and there mutch faster i think
Reply:just glide. personally i think blades are easier and funner.
