The weather is getting warmer and it's time to buy inline skates. Before you buy skates, prepare in advance. Do you want to skate for fun or fitness? Do you want to play hockey? Would you rather do speed skating? Do your want to do figure skating moves on inline skates? How much do you want to spend?
You'll need to understand bearings and ABEC ratings, braking systems, and the types of wheels and frames. You'll need to decide what kind of closure system, liner, and shell is best for your needs. And...don't forget that you'll need to also buy safety gear.
