I think it's very much equal.
Is inline skating more for girls?
Here in California, it seems like there or more guys doing inline skating than girls. It's not like figure skating.

Inline skating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
can you do a cess slide like a hockey stopp?
Inline skating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Yes I can! And so can you. The only difference between doing it on ice and on a dry surface is to be sure your wheels don't touch the ground. Position yourself like you're doing a royale and balance on the sides of your boots to slide. And try learning on as smooth a surface as possible. Indoor parks are great since the ramps are usually covered in skatelite or masonite. You can also do unity cess slides, farv cess slides, the list goes on and on.
Best of luck and happy skating!

Aggressive inline skate question?
are the razors genesys 6 a good skate for beginners, will they absorb the landing impact of big drops? or should i get Rollerblade trs downtown 3? the thing about those is that the liner slides, and i broke a buckle in the store? the nearest skateshop is an hour away
thanks for the answers
Aggressive inline skate question?
The Razors Genesys are MUCH sturdier skates than Rollerblades. I've had the same problem with the liners in the Downtowns...they slip and slide unless you crank the buckle down and really tighten the laces.
The Genesys boot is very sturdy and will absorb a lot of impact from gaps and big drops. They're also much more comfortable than Rollerblades (at least for me). If you want a somewhat stiff and sturdy skate, you'll love these boots. And they should last quite a while since they're all plastic.
Good luck and happy skating. I've included a couple sites below which also might help.
Reply:Personally bro I have bladed in about 2 years but I was sponsored in the like so I do know what I am talking about....Listen if you want to skate skate...don't worry about the shoe don't blame anything on the shoe infact don't blame anything on anyone but yourself...unless its painfully obvious ;) Just buy what is comfortable for you what is iny our price range and what you like...although I like the USD 08 Allstars they are a little pricy...otherwise get what you dig thats that...skate

Inline skating socks?
Does anyone know of any socks to wear while skating that help wick away sweat and maybe help with cooling?
Inline skating socks?
Helping with cooling is more an effect of your skates. If air and moisture doesn't move through it, the socks will not have an effect. Depending on your skates, you might be able to add some venting in the plastic areas.
For getting moisture away from your feet, you want a synthetic inner (or only) layer next to your feet. Thin or no socks can be the ultimate for this if your skates have breathable wicking liners (many newer skates). Unfortunately, if you bought your skates with room for socks, that can make them overly large.
Cotton will hold moisture. If you have thin synthetic socks inside of thin cotton socks, it will move the moisture away from your foot and slowly release it from the outside.
I am lucky and my feet don't sweat a lot. I can wear plain cotton athletic socks. When I take them out, most of the moisture also leaves the skates and I don't need a lot of effort drying them out.

Inline Skating Wheels?
I really want to buy a pair of inlines, Bladerunner Performa In-Line Skate Women (here's a pic) http://www.dunhamssports.com/largeImage/...
It says it has 76mm wheels, is that OK for a 12 year old who goes skating every week? Or is there a better option?
Inline Skating Wheels?
Here's more information on the skate you are looking at (from the manufacturer's website):
SHELL Molded cuff for lateral support and durability.
LINER Removable, soft, padded liner and tongue
for breathability and comfort.
CLOSURE Buckle, lace and power strap closure
system for comfort and support.
FRAME Molded, rigid frame with rink-compatible
flush hardware.
WHEELS/BEARINGS 76mm Bladerunner cast
polyurethane wheels for a smooth and comfortable
ride/ABEC 5 bearings for optimum performance.
I think if you're an average size 12-year old, who skates for fun %26amp; recreation, it should be a great pair of skates. It has support where it's needed, the bearings it comes with are great, and the size of wheels are good. But if you're a taller/larger 12-year old, you may want to try skates that can accomodate larger wheels than a 76mm. Why? It's good to start with smaller wheels but as you become a better skater, you may want to go faster. Larger wheels (80-100mm) roll better, but if you're petite, larger wheels may also mean less stability, because you will be higher off the ground. Just remember that the larger the wheels, it's harder to maneuver.
Here's a link to Rollerblade's product selector:
http://www.rollerblade.com/products/prod...
The main thing is that the skates are comfortable. Try them on, roll around a bit, and if your feet/ankles don't hurt, it's good.
Hope that helped. Happy Rolling! (^_^)

Want to start inline skating, I have wide foot,12.5EEE. any brand recomends? prefer 1 buy,ForFutureProgress.?
Is there such a skate that will allow me to get better without equipment holding me back? I was thinking of a soft skate like rollerblade or K2. I'm kinda just starting out. I thought a 78-80 mm wheel with abec7 bearings might keep me in tune for a while? I'm pleasure skating for exersize but would like to cut up %26amp; speed some also. (kinda like hockey style) I skate indoors on wood floor. Remember I have a wide foot so I need comfort, which will help me skate longer without pain. Any input appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you're looking for recreational skates, then I can only recommend going to stores/shops and trying all the skates close to your shoe size. I definitely recommend a soft boot like Rollerblade, K2, or Salomon. You may have to go with a larger size to accomodate the width. If there are any skating events around your area, check out the skate company's booths, ask questions, try them on. You can check out this forum, someone has a similar problem, and there are alot of recommendations:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.sport...
Or if you want to go with the online route, maybe you can contact the store to get recommendations. Here's an online site that has free shipping (not sure how liberal their return policy is, though):
www.skatestop.net
I read that you would 'like to cut up %26amp; speed some also'. Since you have long feet, you might want to get skates that can accomodate 4 x 100mm wheels. You can use smaller wheels (78-80mm) on those frames, and as you feel more comfortable, switch up to larger wheels--90 to 100mm. The larger the wheel, the faster you will go. If you get skates with frames that can only take 80 mm wheels, you cannot trade up. If you would really like speed-skating, you might want to check out www.bont.com. They just came out with a 3-point mount system skates in a semi-race boot, which means the boots are cut taller for more ankle support. And the boots can be heat-molded to fit your feet! I also have wide feet, and also like to skate to exercise, and go fast. I always order custom skate boots from Glenn Koshi at Bont, and there is no other way you can go if you want skate boots that FIT you correctly. This is a bit pricier than buying off the shelf, but if you become committed to the sport, it might be 'the way'.
Hope you find your perfect pair of skates. Happy Rolling!
Reply:I found Missions quite narrow- probably not for you. You'll need soft wheels for an indoor floor. I wouldn't worry about bearings at that level.
