What kind of skating do you like? Street, park, speed, dance, …? Why do you enjoy it?

Also, would you like to try some other types of skating? Why? And what’s holding you back?

Sounds nice, would you share a video of someone skating the style you strive for?

Currently I enjoy wizard skating the most: It’s full of technical challenges, but it also has a relatively low risk of injury.

I’d like to do more aggressive street stuff, but neither do I want to buy another pair of skates nor do I want to change frames frequently.
