What is Aggressive Inline Skating – Everything You Need to Know

Basic Knowledge & Things to know

Aggressive Inline Skating is one of the most exciting and technically challenging disciplines in inline skating.
The focus here isn’t on speed or covering long distances, but on impressive tricks, high jumps, as well as grinds and slides – meaning controlled gliding over ramps, rails, or edges.

This sport combines athletic dynamism, creative expression, and urban lifestyle. Stunt skating is mainly practiced in skate parks, on halfpipes, or in the so-called “street” environment — at urban spots like ledges, stairs, or curbs.
