Tips for skating
Note:
We recommend skating in skate parks,
as well as a skating course with a
teacher.
Initial training
Starting position:
Feet shoulder-width, bend your knees slightly to
prevent falling backwards.
Speeding up:
Start with small steps, as a beginner, keeping
your feet pointed to the front at an angle.
Rolling:
If you take a few initial steps, you'll have enough
momentum to place both skates side by side and
roll. Bend your knees slightly when doing this.
Fall technique
Important! Practice falling on your protective
gear first without inline skates, on a soft surface.
Always try to steer falls forwards, never back-
wards!
Let yourself fall onto the knee guards.
Then brace yourself with elbow and hand
guards.
Spread your fingers while dong this, to prevent
injuries.
Mastering bends
At low speeds:
Spread your weight in the same way as when
you ride a bicycle. Spread your weight to your
left foot for a left bend, and on your right foot for
a right bend.
At high speeds:
Cross over in the same way as ice-skating
(Fig. B).
Braking techniques
Note:
Practice various braking techniques
on an even surface, with no traffic or
pedestrians.
Prevent falls until you have mastered
the braking techniques.
Heel braking technique (Fig. C):
If your inline skates are equipped with brakes,
ensure that you use them. The brake is mounted,
lightly apply and press the brake to the ground.
Shift your weight slightly forward and bend
your knees. The braking effect can be enhanced
if you bend your knees more and move your
weight further forward while at the same time
increasing the pressure on your braking skate.
T-Brake (Fig. D):
If your inline skates are not equipped with a
brake or you have dismounted the brake, we
recommend the use of the "T-Stop-Technology"
- however, this is only suitable for advanced skat-
ers! When using the "T-Stop technology", you
shift your entire weight on one foot. Now move
the other foot behind the first one and place it
behind it at right angles.
Then shift your weight from the front to the inside
of the rollers of your rear skate and brake with
increasing pressure.
Setting the size (Fig. E)
Press the setting button down (1j) and shift the
shoe while holding down the setting button,
setting the correct size.
The shoe must click in, and you must hear a clear
"CLICK" sound. The arrow on the shoe shows
the size (1k) on the frame.
Setting the width (Fig. F)
Loosen the screw on the underside of the item
with the Allen (3) key delivered with the item by
turning it in the direction of the arrow.
Adapt the width to your individual requirements
by sliding the shoe.
Tighten the bolt again afterwards.
Putting skates on
Preparing for putting on the skates,
from its factory setting
Important! Make sure that your inline
skates fit properly/correctly.
The outer boot should not deform when
the quick-release fastener is closed.
Don't close the quick-release fastener
with force.
