What is inline speed skating?

Using your “shoes on wheels” and try to move as fast as possible, that’s the true purpose of inline skating. It’s a combination of balance, power & endurance and every race guarantees suspense and adrenalin.

Prefer to take it easy, and you’d rather “walk” with you shoes on wheels? No problem!During our recreational road race through the inner city, professional  and police guidance will be present. That way, everyone can finish this road race according to his own level of competence.

Fun and pleasure are definitely guaranteed during this competition.
