Inc., the company credited
with founding the modern
sport, Dr. Carl Foster of
the U.S. Speedskating
team said in-line skating
will burn more calories
than running or cycling.
Dr. Foster also said ath-
letes can use up 450 calo-
ries during a 30-minute
in-line skating session —
more than the 285 calories
they would utilize during
a recreational 30-minute
workout.
American Sports Data
Inc. suggests the number
of in-line skaters jumped
45 percent in the past
year alone, and statistics
have shown it is the
fastest growing sport in
the nation. The only other
activities exhibiting simi-
lar growth are Nordic ski
exercise and stair climb-
ing machines.
In
addition,
the
International In-Line
Skating Association
expects the sport to
become a billion dollar
venture by 1995. If the
trends continue, US
Blades could reap the ben-
efits.
Another indoor in-line
skating course is under
construction in London,
Ontario. And in the
Detroit area, skaters can
roll their blades during
limited winter and spring
times at the Pontiac
Silverdome and at Joe
Louis Arena for members
of the City Rollers skating
club.
Some roller skating
rinks open their business-
es for in-line skaters, but
until US Blades, nobody
had designed a special
course exclusive to in-line
skating. Already, busi-
ness looks good. A week
before its grand opening,
phone lines at US Blades
were swamped with
callers in the market for
private parties. The facili-
ty has booked parties well
into 1994.
"This is like the birth of
a child," said Ron Austin,
US Blades manager.
Though the sport has
gained attention during
the last decade, its history
dates back several cen-
turies.
Legend has it that the
first in-line skates were
built in the early 1700s,
when a Dutchman
attempted to simulate ice
skating in the summer by
nailing wooden spools to
strips of wood. He
attached the wood to the
bottoms of his shoes.
In 1863, an American
developed the first con-

ventional roller skates,
with wheels arranged side
by side. Soon, the two-by-
two wheel arrangement
became the standard, and
the in-line skate was
quickly forgotten.
In 1980, brothers Scott
and Brennen Olson, hock-
ey players in Minneapolis, ;
discovered an in-line skate
while rummaging through
a sporting goods store.
The
design,
they
thought, would make a
great off-season hockey
training tool. They began
refining the product, and '\
they assembled a more
modern version of an in
line skate. They called the
product Rollerblade and
founded the namesake
company. 111

TIPS page 35

'-\

on one foot at a time.
The better your balance,
the easier it will be to
stop and stride.
*Make sure to clear
wheels and frame of any I
debris before heading to I
the pavement.
4) Progress to the
pavement and practice
your balance before you
start rolling. Stand with
your feet even and about _\
4 to 6 inches apart, arms
slightly in front of your-
self and knees bent so
your shins touch the
tongue of your skates.
Your weight should be
balanced on the balls of
your feet. A common
mistake to avoid: Do not
stand up straight and
lock your knees while
skating.
5) Until you reach -(
expert level, avoid hills
or inclines while skating
outside. Find a flat sur-
face that is free of debris (/
or cracks, such as an
empty parking lot, ten-
nis court or basketball
court.
6) Learn how to do a
basic turn: Get used to
the feel of edging your (
skates by standing still 1
with your feet a few <
inches apart, bend your 1
knees and shift side-to-
side using your hips and
knees. Next, start skat-
ing and use the same
basic concepts, leaning
in the direction you want (E-\
to turn. You'll feel more
pressure on your inside
foot as you turn. ❑
