When I rollerblade does the road have to be smooth?

Question

will it like destroy my wheels or something?

Answer 1

It doesn't have to be smooth, but it helps. As for the wheels, yes it will wear your wheels down quicker, but if you get harder wheels (84A and up), they will last longer.

Answer 2

it doesn't have to be a smooth road but I would advise against rollerblading on bumpy roads frequently because it's a possibility that you could get into far more accidents on a bumpy road than on a smooth one. I don't think it would destroy your wheels but it may cut into them a little

Answer 3

It will wear down your wheels gradually unless your'e skatng on a smooth surface (like the actual road instead of he sidewalk, and even then it will wear slightly), or if you are skating on a specially designed surface, such as a roller skate rink.

Answer 4

wheels are usually neoprene. a tough rubber substance. sharp edges could cut or rip the wheels. plus, non smooth roads tend to be trip hazards.

Answer 5

Sand and such in the bearings will destroy them soon.

Bigger chunks, like gravel, rocks, etc, will trip you up. Wear elbow, wrist, and knee pads, and a helmet.

Answer 6

It is better if the road is smooth.
That way it is safer and you could end up falling.
It does also damage wheels.

Answer 7

You will soon find out how smooth it should be just wear the proper safety equipment ~~

Answer 8

No it doesn't have to be smooth.
But your wheels will get really screwed up.
And you'll have to buy new ones all the time.
Best to go to a rink.

Answer 9

if you are going over rough terrain like sand it will ruin your wheels but on a pavement its fine

Answer 10

yes
