Where did skating begin?
Skating is also called roller skating.
1760, the world's first pair of roller skates appeared at a fancy dress ball in London. Merlin, a Belgian musician, slipped into the ballroom in his homemade shoes with wheels, but fell to the ground because he couldn't turn around. 1823, a public roller skating rink opened in London. At that time, people used a kind of five-wheeled roller skates. Four-wheeled roller skates were invented by purington in 1863, which set off roller skating fever. Modern wheeled roller skates generally include double roller skates and single roller skates, which are much faster than before. Among them, roller skates are the most widely used, and roller skates were originally used for skaters to practice on land.
With the increase of skating enthusiasts, young people develop roller skates into a brand-new sport-roller skating. Young people have a new world to show their skills and courage in all kinds of roller skating rinks with many obstacles.
The four wheels of roller skates are divided into front and rear groups, and the two wheels are penetrated by two shafts. Bearings on the four wheels can make the wheels rotate stably. The four wheels are on the same plane, and the skier feels very stable. Roller skates are designated shoes in international pattern competitions. Athletes can use roller skates to complete various patterns. There is a piece of rubber at the front end of roller skates, which can be used as a brake to stop. Roller skates are not only used for sports and leisure, but also appear in some big shopping malls or restaurants. Energetic waiters skating in shopping malls can effectively improve work efficiency.
