Cone distances and positioning rules in inline freestyle slalom skating

The distances between the slalom cones in inline freestyle slalom skating are subject to an official standard in terms of their placement and size.

The sizes and dimensions of the slalom cones follow an official standard (you can also find slalom cones here in our shop):

  • Height: 7.6 cm to 8.0 cm
  • Bottom diameter: 7.4 cm to 7.5 cm
  • Top diameter: 2.5 cm to 2.7 cm

To make it as easy as possible for you to exercise, we have a few tips in our following video. There we’ll show you how to set up your slalom cones as quickly as possible and at the right intervals. So you can train in your free time with the official distances and rows of cones:


In Freestyle Slalom Skating Classic we use three rows of cones. There is a distance of exactly 2 meters between each row (from one center to the other one). The center of each row must be aligned with the center of every other row as well as the center of the judges’ table.

The main row, which occurs in every sub-discipline of freestyle slalom skating, is the one with a cone distance of 20x 80cm (shown here in orange).

  • 20x cones with a distance of 50 cm each (shown here in blue).
  • 20x cones with a distance of 80cm each (shown here in orange).
  • 14x cones with a distance of 120 cm each (shown here in green).

Inline freestyle slalom skating is subject to its own complex set of rules. Here we would like to leave it at the general setup rules. However, if you would like to dive into the subject and rules of slalom skating in more detail, then we recommend our article on basic knowledge and things worth knowing about freestyle slalom skating.
