<p>An in-line skate is disclosed having a rigid frame (30) with a platform and having a boot (22) with a shell (24). The shell includes a sole (31). Two longitudinal parallel rails extend downwardly from a lower side of the platform (99). A plurality of in-line skate wheels (32) are secured to the frame. An upper side of the platform has first, second and third recesses (94, 96, 98) in toe, heel and intermediate portions of the platform, respectively. A lower side of the sole (31) of the boot has first, second and third projections (80, 82, 84) in toe, heel and intermediate portions of the sole, respectively. The first, second and third projections (80, 82, 84) of the sole matingly engage the first, second and third recesses (94, 96, 98) of the platform, respectively, when the boot (22) is coupled to the frame (30). Fasteners (102, 106) secure the boot to the frame at the first, second and third recesses of the frame. A block (34) is disclosed including top and bottom sides. Sidewalls extend between the top and bottom sides. The block (34) is supported between the longitudinal rails of the frame (30) and is positioned between outer circumferences of two adjacent wheels (32). The block (34) is spaced from each of the two adjacent wheels. A fastener (102) is including for mounting the block (34) to the frame and is entirely contained between planes defined by the longitudinal rails of the frame (30). <IMAGE></p> |
