What are the best kind of inline skates to use at a skating rink?
If you are going for cute at a skating rink, consider quad (the old style) skates. A lot depends on how you intend to skate and how much you plan on getting into it. It sounds like these will be your first skates. Even a slow inline skate will be fast inside a skating rink. Racing and Fitness skates (the two fastest types) are more difficult to steer around tight corners. They are designed to be stable at speeds that your a very unlikely to ge going inside a rink. Hockey and agressive skates probably don’t fit your deffinition of cute but hockey skates are designed for manueverability in a rink. Street skates is a relatively new type. It is designed for dance and slalom moves. It would be good in a rink. Recreational skates are the most common skates out there and have a wide range of styles. Normally I don’t recommend anything with wheels less than 80mm because the larger wheels roll better and are easier to get good replacements for. However, smaller wheels have better manueverabilit
