Product Description

Everywhere you look--streets, boardwalks, parks--everyone is in-line skating. Some speed along deep in concentration, others stride slowly, laughing with their friends. Any way you choose to do it, in-line skating is a great way to keep fit and have fun. Flasy, full-color photos showing correct form in action, plus street smarts, safety techniques and tips on how to care for your equipment make this book a basic necessity for all skaters.

Hi, and thanks for your interest in my book. I was thrilled to have the chance to write it, because I felt that there was a real need for a book such as this one. Spend time learning how to use your heel brake, and the road will open up to you! Experiment with the various exercises, and you'll find yourself skating with more and more confidence. I'm sure of that! If you're going to be skating in New York, or want to write me with any questions or comments, I'm at [e-mail]. Keep your knees bent, your wheel rotated, and your eyes up! Take care! Cam Millar --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This a real wonderful book with sequence colour pictures for all the basic movements. It's a joy to read this book. There is nothing else in this book really, just techniques and techniques. It's pure skating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Pictures, February 19, 2004

By	CZ Coyote (Enoch, UT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In-Line Skating Basics (Paperback)

This book is about basic technique. The picture sequences are very good and show exactly how to execute these basic techniques. Although the descriptions are not very involved, the photos make it clear what the authors are trying to teach. This is a good companion to Get Rolling by Liz Miller.
