Aggressive Inline Skating

From ExtremeWiki

Aggressive skating came from rollerblading. Aggressive skating is a different form of rollerblading. It involves grinds, spins, grabs, flips and more. Aggressive skating was born in the 1980's. It first started with people jumping over barriers and doing spins in the air. The first grind was the "frontside." It was invented by Chris Edwards who is a legend in the sport. After that, all skaters during that time were trying to invent new tricks to help the sport grow. Many new tricks came about in the late 80's early 90s.

Today there are many different variations of the tricks such as alley-oop, truspin, and topside. Also skaters today are doing spins and grabs in and out of grinds to make the trick harder. There are also different types of skating. Vert skating is a half pipe which gets vertical at the top of the ramp. Street skating is were skating was born, and is skaters going around cities and towns grinding hand rails, grinding ledges, jumping stairs, turning anything on the regular street into an obstacle.
