• Speed skating: also known as performance skating, speed skating is designed for physical training. The level of effort can be comparable to a running or cycling outing. Ideal if you're looking to pick up speed while maintaining maximum control.
• Fitness inline skates: ideal for beginners, fitness inline skates or touring inline skates are perfect if you want to take your first steps into the world of sliding. They're also a good choice if you're looking for a gentle way to get around on a daily basis, while staying in great shape.
• Roller quad: a successor to roller skating, roller quad is distinguished by the front/back positioning of the wheels. The sensations are different and can allow you to explore another way of getting up to speed.
