Freestyle Slalom Skates

 Freestyle slalom skaters perform tricks, edge stunts and dance-like maneuvers—either alone or as a team. This skating is done around cones set in a straight line spaced 1.64 feet (50 centimeters), 2.63 feet (80 centimeters) or 3.94 feet (120 centimeters) apart, depending on the event—a skate setup designed for a high level of precision and control. Most freestyle slalom skating is performed on freestyle slalom— sometimes called artistic—inline skates, but a few skaters still use quad roller skates. 

 

Popular Freestyle Slalom Skate Models

The skaters who wear inline skates use a rocker wheel configuration and a short frame (230 to 245 millimeter) to maximize the maneuverability of the inline skates. Slalom skates have a close fit and a firm cuff for ankle support. Popular skate models used to include the FSK skate range by Salomon (now unavailable), Seba skates (designed by a world-class slalom skater), and other well-known skate brands such as Powerslide, Roces and RollerBlade. Many inline figure skates can be used for slalom if the extended toe stop is replaced with a toe plug.

What to Look for in a Good Slalom Skate

In order to satisfy the needs of freestyle slalom activities, these skates need some adaptations to the boot, cuff, the frames, the wheels and the closure system. When choosing slalom skates, consider the following:

• Freestyle skating requires a strong rigid boot with comfortable foot support.
• A good slalom skate needs a short lightweight frame that is easy to maneuver.
• These skates must be quick and responsive which can be enhanced via rockering.
• Smooth precision and the correct wheels are very important.

What to Expect in a Slalom Boot

 

 

There were not many inline slalom skates with soft/hard boots a few years ago. Most had rigid boots to get the support needed for precise movements. Since Seba skate technology came into the market, you can expect to see many skates that combine firm, precise support and comfort. Today many boots are manufactured using composite carbon or glass fiber materials—instead of just plastic—to make them lightweight and supportive, too. These boots have a removable liner, like most inline skates. 

 

 Slalom Frames 

 

There are three important things to look for in a freestyle slalom frame:

1. Length of frame: The first thing in slalom is to choose a short frame in order for your skate to be easy to handle. In slalom, you will find frames between 219 and 250 cm. The choice of the frame is made according to the build of the skater. Smaller skaters with little feet need a shorter frame, and tall skaters with bigger feet will need longer frames. The size of your foot is also important because the first axle needs to be beneath the toes and the fourth axle should be under the heel for the control required for freestyle slalom skating.
2. Stiffness of frame: Choose a stiff frame made of aluminum. A soft frame will lack precision and will not respond quickly.
3. Weight of frame: The aluminum will have the added benefit of being light in weight and easy to handle.

Slalom Wheels

 

Many think that freestyle slalom skaters always use the smallest wheels possible, but many look for the biggest wheels that the shorter frames can accommodate. Big wheels create smooth, easy moves, and that is one reason why the size or wheel diameter of your wheels matters.

• Small wheels lower the center of gravity for more stability but require more effort for speed.
• Bigger wheels are less stable but require less effort for speed. 
• The wheels used for freestyle slalom are commonly between 83A and 85A durometer or hardness. 
• Frames that are 245mm or 243mm use 80mm maximum diameter wheels.
• Frames that are 231mm must use wheels no bigger than 76mm in diameter.
• Frames that are 219mm require wheels no bigger than 72mm in diameter.

The length of the frame and each skater's preferences will determine the wheel hardness and which wheel size or mix of wheel sizes should be used.

 

 

Closure System

There are two primary types of closure systems found on most slalom skates. 

• Power straps using buckle closures, ratcheting closures or velcro are quick to put on and take off and help keep the ankle firmly in place.
• Lace closures work like regular shoe laces and offer unlimited adjustment variations for securing the foot.

Most slalom skates combine these closure systems for a more precise fit.
