There's a huge range of skates on offer for all sorts of activities, from fitness skating to freeride and even roller derby. So how do to choose the right ones?
You should choose your skates based on two criteria: the type of skating you do and your standard.
There are four kinds of skating practices:

Skating, sliding, jumping and doing tricks.
Freeride is done in the skate park, where the urban environment becomes your playground.

These rides can be gentler or more intense and even cover quite long distances.
