It's got a niche community coming back but nowhere near what it was like in the 90s and early 2000s.COVID sorta reinvigorated the sport but it's mainly dudes who used to blade back in the 90s getting back into it

I like near a skating rink and go periodically with my girlfriend.
It seems to have a sizeable audience, I just prefer ice skating though.Also even as a guy that like figure skating, the skating rinks are a bit gay for me.

My local skating rink has a fairly even split of roller and inline skaters on their adults only night.

I'm sure it's still out there. But now that I really think about it, the last time I actually saw somebody on rollerblades was probably around 1998 at the very latest.

Can anyone recommend me which inline skates to buy? I want to start learning how to rollerblade.

I have to cut through a weird skate park on my way to town (it's in two parts separated by a public walkway right through the middle, like I say it's weird). You only ever see skateboarders there, but recently there's been some rollerbladers turning up. I have noticed they're never around when the skateboarders are there though and they always look really nervous.

I think inline should focus on it's niche of urban skating(weaving through traffic) and wizard skating. You can do a lot of elaborate legwork. Not the most showy thing compared to tricks skateboarders do, but sliding and dancing through the streets and being a bit of nuisance to the normies sounds fun.

It's doing well enough for these to drop.
