Grade 3-6?This guide to the fundamentals of in-line skating begins with a discussion of the equipment and safety gear necessary to take up this sport. Chalmers then describes stretching exercises, drills, and tips for beginners before going into detail about many techniques and moves of interest to advanced skaters, such as skating backwards, grinding (sliding with in-line skates on curbs and handrails), and jumping. A page entitled "Skate Speak" offers a glossary of terms. Full-color photographs and drawings appear on every page and demonstrate correct form, safety gear, and how to handle and care for equipment. An eight-page fold-out section describes in-line skating competitions. Chock-full of information, this book is sure to be a hit with young blading enthusiasts.?Rachel Fox, Port Washington Public Library, NY
