Inline skating is one of the most fun sports I've ever done. It's amazing to watch and even more fun to do. If your looking for speed skating, or casual rollerblading, your in the wrong thread. This thread is about aggressive skating.

[B]This shit looks fun. What do I need to get started?
[/B]Well, your first going to need to pick up a pare of blades. If you live in the US like me, you'll probably have to get them online. Also, you are going to need some wax to put on rails/ledges (helps you slide). I recommend going to [URL]http://www.rollerwarehouse.com/[/URL] for finding your gear. I get most of my stuff there.
[B]Um, why would I want to do this?
[/B]Some people like to skate and some don't. People do it for the rush and challenges.
[B]Do you have any tips for people just getting started?
[/B]Yes, first off, if you don't already know how to move, turn, and stop (basic BASIC stuff) then you should probably start off in a pair of regular old cheap pairs of skates. Aggressive skates are much more difficult to control. If you already know how to do that stuff, start trying some basic tricks. Don't just jump right into it though, go slowly. Last thing you want to do is bash your head on a rail.

If you harm yourself, others, or damage property, it's your own damn fault!
I've gone inline skating a few times before in my life, it was pretty fun and I'd like to pick up on it some more.

The hardest thing about roller blading is telling your parents you're gay.

Anyone else think rollerblading is for fags and skateboarding is for douchebags?

Eh, its coming back. Slowly, but it is.
I've never done it before, Most I've done was clang around my backyard when I was like 7... Was pretty fun..
I reckon it'd be great to do... Though I've already got a skating background, so if I ever found time to do that stuff I'd go back to skating.
Fuck this fake skating, Ice Hockey is where it truly is. Roller is for pussies!
I think did this when I was like 8.
I own a pair of Remz OS.3, but the Soulplate on the right skate is destroyed basically, so I need to replace that.

Pretty much.
The only time anyone should be rollerblading is when it's too warm to play hockey on ice.

You cant grind on ice.:colbert:
This is stupid. So is skateboarding. Bikes are where it's at.
I would actually try this but I'm unfortunately allergic to getting that fucking rash from asphalt.

So then, how can I roll around the street without bieng called something offensive?

Be in a wheelchair.
I prefer skateboarding, but I'd try aggressive inline if I had the money to drop on a pair of skates. Arguments about sports or how people should have fun are so utterly pointless.
When I see people with Inlines, they always look like fairies.
It looks fun but I'm not an aggressive person. Casually skating or biking is more enjoyable to me.
Hi, I am Peter Leger and I think rollerblading sucks and skateboarding is for awesome people like me.
Rollerblading is fun. I wouldn't mind doing it sometime, but there is no where to rollerblade without cars being assholes.
Fucking reminds me of Jet Set Radio.
How come people usually land backwards off big gaps with inline skates? It looks easier to bail that way.
Jet Grind Radio made this look fucking awesome.
Jet set radio future is the only positive thing about inline skating.
Unless you like being gay and smashing your tailbone.
Pretty sure rollerblading went out of style with fanny packs

I agree but it is better and harder, plus you don 't have to take off your shoes every time you want to inline, but rollerblading is still pretty bad ass. Remember at the x-games when the Asian brothers used to pull off double back flips all the time.
