Pass on This One
Take heed.If you think you're getting a book that shows you how to execute skating moves, you aren't.What you are getting is a book that covers the obvious -- like how important it is to wear a helmet and pads.The only thing of value in this book is the list of skating "zines" and parks at the end -- which you can discover simply by doing an online search.My recommendation: Pass on this one. It's simply not worth the money.

this is the best book ever
this book tells you how to skate aggresive. This book is really awesome. ... Read more

Product Description
Inline-Skating hat sich bereits nach wenigen Jahren in der Sportszene etabliert. Aus dem anfänglichen Trend hat sich inzwischen eine große Anhängerschaft gebildet, die die unterschiedlichen Disziplinen des Inline-Skatings intensiv und professionell betreibt. So ist der Anspruch an ein Skating-Buch gewachsen, in dem methodische Übungsreihen und abwechslungsreiche Trainingsangebote die Leistungen der fortgeschrittenen Skater verbessern und das Bewegungsrepertoire erweitern helfen. Dieses Buch möchte diese Lücke schließen und stellt ein Trainingskonzept für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene mit einem umfangreichen und abwechslungsreichen Übungskatalog vor. Es ermöglicht das Inline-Skating aus sämtlichen Perspektiven (Spiel, Geschwindigkeit, Akrobatik) kennen zu lernen und auf das wettkampfmäßige Ausüben dieser Sportart (Speedskating, Inline-Hockey, Inline-Basketball etc.) vorzubereiten. Die Inhalte sind für das Jugendtraining entwickelt worden. Der Einsatz im Erwachsenentraining hat sich aber als ebenso erfolgreich bewiesen.Das vorgestellte Konzept ist aus der langjährigen Vereinsarbeit mit ambitionierten Jugendlichen und Senioren erwachsen. Die Inhalte wurden seit mehreren Jahren im Training angewandt und stetig verbessert. Je nach den örtlichen Bedingungen lassen sich die Trainingsinhalte leicht modifizieren und in das eigene Training einbauen. Die zahlreichen Skizzen und Abbildungen sollen helfen die Übungen und Spiele schnell zu verstehen und den Trainingsteilnehmern verständlich zu präsentieren.208 Abbildungen, 179 Zeichnungen ...

Not helpful
If you want to learn some technique, this book lacks details and is not useful. For beginner to intermediate instruction on in-line skating, I recommend instead the book by Liz Miller "Get Rolling ...", complemented by the one by William Nealy, "Inline! ...".

From beginning to advanced skating
This is my favorite book on inline skating.It is loaded with color pictures and the explanations are very simple.There is a section on equipment which even explains cleaning and upgrading equipment.The book begins with First Techniques for the beginner and goes on with chapers like Moving, Improving, Skillful Techniques, The Real World, Specialist Skating, etc.The Moving and Improving chapter covers topics like parallel turns, forward crossover, slalom turns and dynamic striding.Each lesson has clear instructions and suggestions accompanied by numbered color photographs.At the end of each chapter is a section called Troubles that covers each technique taught in the chapter and lists Problems with Reasons and Corrections.This is what makes the book so useful for learning new things.The best thing about this book is how clearly it is written.If you have just learned or want to learn to inline skate get yourself a copy and grow with it. ...
