Roller Skating

wheels · sports · fun outdoors · balance

Wheeled boots invented. Roller skates have wheels attached to the bottom of boots so you can glide smoothly across floors and pavement instead of walking.

Fun everywhere. You can roller skate at special indoor rinks, outdoor skate parks, or right on streets and sidewalks anywhere with smooth ground.

Exercise and sport. Roller skating is an awesome way to get moving and have fun, and people compete in races and tricks to show off their skills.

Getting around town. Instead of walking or biking, some people roller skate to school, to friends' houses, or around their neighborhood as their main way to travel.

Balance and control. Learning to roller skate teaches you how to balance on moving wheels and control your speed, which makes you stronger and more coordinated.
