The foot plates normally rest on the

Freeline skates, a class of unattached skates that wearers place under their normal street or skate shoes. They typically have 2 closely set inline wheels set with a short base under a small squarish plate (usually surfaced with grip tape about the same width as the rider’s shoe). This arrangement allows for a range of

Heelys, normal-looking street/skate shoes with a single retractable wheel in the heel of each shoe, allowing the wearer to perform unique rollerskating-like moves at leisure while still walking normally when the skating functionality isn’t desired (and the wheel is mostly retracted into a recessed slot in the heel). The fact that skateboarding and related wheeled

Freestyle roller dancing is a style of physical movement, usually done to music, that isn’t choreographed or planned ahead of time.

Roller derby is played by two teams of up to fourteen players, who both field up to five members for each two-minute jam, simultaneously skating counterclockwise on a circuit track. Each team designates a scoring player (the “jammer”); the other four members are “blockers.” One blocker can be designated as a “pivot”—a special blocker who
