Inline Skating: The Ultimate Guide provides a close look at the dynamic world of inline skating. Authored by Robert E. Rinehart, a subject expert who has researched action and extreme sports since 1995, the work comprehensively describes the current state of rollerblading as well as its history and connections to popular culture. The book covers nine distinct forms of inline skating, ranging from artistic or figure skating to freestyle skating to marathon skating, contextualizing each specialized form within the larger genre of inline skating activity. It addresses the origins and history of inline skating; the major venues associated with the sport, as well as important events; and the equipment and techniques of inline skating. A chapter dedicated to the pioneers and heroes of inline skating provides biographical profiles of numerous key players in the sport, allowing readers to get a better sense of the sport's unique character. The final chapter discusses the continuing evolution of the sport and its future.
