Like Joel Rappelfeld's The Complete Blader ( LJ 6/1/92), this blading how-to book serves both novice and pro. The authors, both expert skaters, give thorough coverage to all aspects of blading, including such fundamentals as posture, stroke/glide motion, stopping, and turns. Handy drills are placed at the end of each skill section so that budding bladers can execute practices as needed. In Part III of the book, entitled "Advanced In-Line Skating," the authors give in-depth attention to activities that can be engaged in as proficiency grows: in-line racing, tricks and dance, and roller hockey. This well-written and easy to follow guide is recommended where blading is popular. Index, glossary, and illustrations not seen.
