Aggressive inline skates starter guide: how to get started right

You have your first pair of aggressive inline skates, nice! But before you head into the skatepark, it is important to check your skates thoroughly and start your first session slowly. How tight should your skates fit? Which parts should you check beforehand? And how do you get used to the smaller, harder wheels?

In this starter guide, we explain step-by-step how to prepare your aggressive inline skates for use. You will learn how to check the wheel axles, frames, laces, straps, and buckles, and how to ensure a secure fit. Then, you will start on a flat surface with your posture, balance, steering, and controlled stopping.

Do not attempt big jumps or grinds immediately. First, get used to the handling of your skates and practice small jumps without obstacles. Always wear a helmet and good knee, elbow, and wrist protection. After your first session, double-check that all bolts and wheel axles are securely tightened. This way, you will head towards your first tricks safely and with confidence.
