k2 inline skate wheels
By Joseph | September 12, 2009
Inline skating and small debris?
I’m a beginner to inline skating and I’m currently using a pair of K2 skates, wheel size 78mm.
After a thunderstorm, the park roads are all littered with pine cones. The smaller pine cones are not a problem, but the ones about the size of the nail on your thumb, seem to get jammed between my wheels. I have fallen many times because the wheels get jammed up. I’m not going very fast, but at a leisurely pace.
I seem to be the only one having this problem. Speed skaters roll over them without any problem at all.
Can anyone advise me if its…
1) Due to lack of skill?
2) Wheel size or type of skates?
3) Or should I go at a faster speed?
Thank you!
probably a mix of 1 and 3
Faster speeds help you bounce over objects better. I can cross gravel roads by picking up speed and gliding across. (my weight is towards the back of the skates, see comments below)
As you get better, your balance and ability to recover from hitting objects improves.
The biggest skill problem that affects this is having too much weight on your toes when you skate. Your push should be mainly through your heel with the glide being a more even balance. You never want most of your weight to be on your toes.
If your weight is back, the front wheel will bounce over things easier. Just don’t get carried away and fall over backwards.
