YA--Dugard discusses the various protective devices and how to wear them effectively. Basic foot positions for novices and more advanced skills for experienced skaters are explained. Excellent diagrams clearly show the dynamics of in-line skating, e.g., properly attired skaters, correct way to put on skates, the techniques of push and glide, and muscles affected. All phases of the sport from preparation to cross training are demonstrated by action photos. The book assists skaters in setting individual goals, attaining those goals, and then setting new ones. For experienced skaters, it covers street hockey, extreme skating, and speed skating.
