Aggressive Inline Skates Are Built for Stunts

Aggressive skates are designed for tricks and jumps. They come with very robust and durable boots that can withstand hard impacts while protecting your feet.

The construction of aggressive roller blades makes them ideal for grinding various objects and performing technical stunts. Aggressive skates include both quad and inline skate models, with aggressive inline skates generally being the more popular choice.

What to Consider When Buying Aggressive Skates?

The first thing to consider is your skill level. Aggressive skates are available for every skill level, from professionals to beginners. Beginner aggressive skates are built with harder shells for more support and protection, whereas some professional models may feature softer boot construction. Softer boots are more flexible, offering better control and maneuverability for certain tricks.

Another important factor is the frame setup. Anti-rocker frames are standard and make grinding easier compared to a flat setup. Freestyle frames, on the other hand, allow for more creativity when grinding due to their larger surface area in the center.

Finally, consider the wheel size. Generally, smaller wheels make it easier to perform stunts, while larger wheels are better for parkour-like jumps in urban environments.

Aggressive Skates Vs Fitness Skates

The main differences between aggressive inline skates and fitness inline skates are the wheel size, boots, and frames. Aggressive skates typically have much smaller wheels, with diameters ranging from 55 mm to 80 mm. Fitness skate wheels, on the other hand, are generally 80 - 100 mm in size. While small wheels may not provide much speed, they are easier to grind with and offer better stability.

The boot and frame construction of aggressive inline skates also differ from regular inline skates. Aggressive skate boots usually feature a hard plastic shell, making them heavier, while fitness inline skates have more variety in boot constructions.

There are also differences in frame structures. Fitness skates have frames with flat wheel setups, where all wheels are equal in size. Aggressive skates typically have anti-rocker frames with two larger and two smaller wheels.
