Balls for rollers
Well here, before I in three hundred twenty fifth time have crashed down yesterday, to me began to seem, that here it, eureka, I has learnt to go for a drive on rollers, at last!. As I was mistaken! And in general, well how many it is possible to fall, eventually?! To my great regret, in my environment there are no people who take a great interest in driving on the roller fads and are capable to give to me elements of this hard employment.
So to do, very much it would be desirable to become экстремалкой, manufacturing if not extreme tricks, then adequately moving on eight small castors! Means, anything else does not remain, than to learn to go for a drive most! I have taken a great interest in it, because the wind in the person (the main thing that not asphalt), productive leisure, a fascinating way to behave in shape, say, is a lot of all.
This general hobby - well very much has begun for a long time: 200 years ago inventors have decided to fasten to the ice fads castors. Historical records testify, that the first models of rollers could not turn and brake, therefore go for a drive on them the few risked. Operated rollers have been patented by American James Plimptonom only in 1863. In rollers Плимптона the rubber small pillow for braking of rotation of an axis was used. The scheme of this model is considered a basis and the modern roller fads.
The first commands on hockey on rollers played to Europe in 1901, and the first championship has been spent in 1936 to Germany. As to mass enthusiasm it comes from America, 70-80th years of the last century. In the USA then existed more than six thousand halls where under music "disco" people went for a drive and had a rest. « Street »and rather city, this culture became in 1981 thanks to two brothers-hockey players from Minnesota. They have based firm Rollerblade in which the fads on four narrow plastic rollers with bearings for the first time have been developed, with a protective boot and a brake on a heel, represent? And that new sports have won general popularity, Rollerblade began to offer rollers of the manufacture in hire on beaches. The wave of interest to the roller fads has grasped California. Manufacture of the fads was adjusted by some more firms, and scooters have started to master not only asphalt paths, but also stages-semiflanks, a handrail, steps and in general all territories, apparently, completely not not adapted for driving. Scooters have adopted at скейтбординга street style and were started up on feats - they began to go on everything, that came across on their way. As a result, now it is a lot of styles of driving! After all rollers it is simple means of transportation and AS WELL AS WHERE to move is already a question which is solved by styles of driving.
So, styles of driving!
We begin with the most simple: driving for rest! Any abrupt bends and fast turns, you go for a drive (well or try to go for a drive, at least) is slow and only for own pleasure! It is possible to carry beginners who yet do not plan regular employment for achievement of any purposes (improving or sports to this style), and simply wish to "try".
The unique requirement to rollers in this variant that in them it was convenient and comfortable.
Active employment at which loading on an organism is more serious and allows to keep at regular employment the excellent physical form, is already style fitness. At this stage scooters already develop enviable speed (to 30 km/h), are not afraid of abrupt turns and long trips. Expenses of forces correspond enough to vigorous training or fast run.
Агрессив (аggressive) – a kind of extreme driving which it is active подпитывается video films with display of cascades of effective tricks. Each of us, at the strengthened diligence and improbable persistence, having forgotten about bruises and the nails broken at falling, can reach such level that is called, to prove, show the abilities and to be reputable for the same "mad" companions. It is clear, that at such driving of the requirement to rollers well very serious – manoeuvrability and ability to maintain infinite trainings, after all you persevering are necessary stability to blows: you will not learn yet, them you will not lag behind, after all so?
One more style which can be interesting to us with you, is an original mix of simple driving for rest and various "trick" which concern style аggressive, it is style фрискейтинг, or, in other words, урбан. Fervently, it is not burdensome, and it is practically accessible to those who though tries to learn secret of the roller fads a little.
Well, from styles – to rules
If you have seriously dared already together with me to study in driving art on the roller fads, that, here you of a rule without which precisely far you will not leave. Literally! The very first (and almost the most important!) is a protection. You know, quite possibly, it will seem to you inappropriate, heavy, or bulky, but, it is better so, than then to examine on the beautiful legs awful bruises from inevitable falling, after all so? The most necessary – to dress protection on hands and kneecaps but if you are not assured of yourself, dress still налокотники and a helmet, «on everyone the fireman». What for to risk? Protection will help you to feel more confident at movement. In any case, will fall any more so terribly!
Going behind purchase of new rollers, take with itself thick socks (not woollen and not so warm – will approach terry or special sports). To go for a drive () it is necessary for safety of feet only in such. Then, having put on the roller fads, it is necessary to rise on feet and a little bit to resemble them or to do a bit of travelling (on shop, it is natural). To judge «presses – does not press» it will be possible not earlier, than in 15 minutes, therefore in good sports shops you will necessarily leave alone and will not hurry with a choice.
Not the superfluous will learn also «force of resistance». In all weight press one of the boot parties, as though "filling up" a roller. The resistance of a boot is stronger, the is better you can maneuver on the big speeds. If the roller "is easily filled up", lateral support of this model is insufficient for you. Rigid boots differ good crash-worthiness. The bottom part covers a considerable part of a sole, and top surrounds голеностоп and supports it. Thus both parts are connected by mobile system that gives the chance to bend forward. Soft boots on a design remind the tourist. They sit standing more conveniently, weigh less, are perfectly ventilated.
The there is less than wheel, the they маневреннее, the more, the faster. Popular models have diameter of wheels from 72 to 78 mm. For aggressive driving take a wheel with a diameter 55–67 mm. Hardness of a wheel is defined by means of a special index дюрометрии. The above this number, the is more hardness of a wheel. A wheel with a high index of hardness faster and more effectively on equal roads. But at a soft wheel force of coupling with road so, vibration is less is more, manoeuvrability is better. Rollers with degree of hardness from 78А to 82А are most extended.
The prices for rollers in Chelyabinsk fluctuate from 1500 to 8000 roubles ("Trial-sports", "Sports" (at the Central market), "Sport master" (on the Scarlet field), "Olympus" (in the Northwest), a hypermarket «КС»). The price, as a rule, depends on mark and the country-manufacturer of rollers, and also is connected with the general policy of the prices and shop assortment: if the shop "is abrupt enough", also rollers there will be abrupt"and under the"abrupt"prices and if it is democratic – that and rollers will be"economy class".
Unfortunately, in Chelyabinsk not so it is a lot of places to practise and perfect the skill in this hard kind of sports, but, they, places, all the same are (about it in following article)! Dare! Buy rollers and go for a drive in the pleasure, feel freedom and «a wind in the person»! After all it so draws many scooters.
