What is Aggressive Inline Skating – Everything You Need to Know
Basic Knowledge & Interesting Facts
Aggressive inline skating is one of the most exciting and technically challenging areas of inline skating.
The focus is not on speed or covering long distances, but on impressive tricks, high jumps, as well as grinds and slides – i.e., gliding in a controlled manner over ramps, railings, or edges.
This sport combines athletic dynamism, creative forms of expression, and an urban lifestyle. Stunt skating is predominantly practiced in skateparks, on halfpipes, or in the so-called "street" area, i.e., at urban spots such as walls, stairs, or curbs.
