Aggressive Skating: Skating on the Streets

Aggressive Skating is a style of rollerblading that consists of tricks, jumps, and grinds. This style of skating isn't typically performed in skate parks, but rather on the street using available stairs, benches, rails, etc.

It is very similar to skateboarding and some of the extreme jumps and tricks familiar to skateboarders are also used by Aggressive Skaters.

Because Aggressive Skating, also called aggressive rollerblading, requires lots of hard jumps, these skaters wear aggressive inline skates designed to handle the demanding pressures of Aggressive Skating.

Skate Park Rollerblading

Aggressive Skating in a special park that includes things such as rails and steps is called "Park Skating"; Vert Skating is Aggressive Skating that is performed in a half pipe; and Street Skating of course, is performed on the street.

Aggressive skating is a culture unto itself, and if you're a teen looking for some adventure with inline skating, then this is an area to explore with your friends.
