About Skated

Skated is an independent reference for recreational skaters. We publish plain-language guides to ice skating, roller skating, inline skating, technique, and gear — from your first push to smooth crossovers.

Every guide follows the same structure: an overview, what the move is and how it works, a step-by-step method, the gear you’ll use, common mistakes to avoid, tips and variations, and frequently asked questions.

Skating involves real risk. Our guides are general education, not instruction or certification, and never a substitute for learning from a qualified coach in person. Skated is not affiliated with any skate brand, rink, or equipment maker.
