<p>An in-line skate having at least a front roller, a rear roller and an intermediate roller carried by a beam. The beam is canted outwardly at the top so that the beam will flex outwardly and at an angle to downward/outward pressure exerted by the skater's foot, creating an arc and resulting in a turn. All of the rollers are mounted to the outer side of the beam. In a preferred embodiment, there are two intermediate rollers that are offset outwardly from the front and rear rollers so that when the skater leans into a turn the intermediate rollers of the outer skate move out of contact with the ground, allowing the beam to flex outwardly at an angle to the force applied to it producing the arc that results in a curved turn. The inner skate rides on the intermediate rollers only, for improved maneuverability.</p> |
