BRAKING TECHNIQUE
Learn how to brake. If you want to stand you can just roll to a halt. Pros also do that. You
can of course brake with stoppers as well: lift your right foot’s toes slightly so that the
stopper touches the ground at the back. The more pressure you put, the quicker you will
decrease the speed. Avoid full brakes because then you may not have complete control.
Always skate with foresight!
CHANGING ROLLERS AND BEARINGS (PICTURE 1)
1. Roller | 2. Spacer | 3. Ball Bearing | 4. Axle Winding | 5. Axle Screw
Wheels and bearings are available as accessories and can be changed independent of
each other if they wear out or get damaged. While changing the wheels, keep in mind that
bearing needs to be removed from the old wheels and attached to the new ones. Refer to
Illustration 1 for better understanding and remember to properly fasten the axle screw
and secure with locking varnish. Your inline skates have precision bearings that have been
filled with lubricant under high pressure at the production plant. This is why your skates
move easily and quickly with just a little pressure while skating. Like the wheels, the be-
arings also need to be replaced when they stop working properly. However, never
dismantle them!
HOW TO ADJUST THE SIZE (PICTURE 2)
To adjust the size, loosen the lacing and powerstrap and release the adjustment lever on
the heel of the shoe. Push the lever backwards. Now you can adjust the size by turning the
lever until you have set it to the right size. Shoe sizes are indicated where the front end of
the sole meets the wheel mounting. After adjusting the skate, don’t forget to fasten the
lever once again until you hear it click into place. (Only for 28244-49: Replace the soles
according to the set size to improve the fit). Then check the correct fit. The firm fit of the
skate on the foot should be checked regularly.
EXCHANGING OR ADJUSTING THE HEEL BRAKE (PICTURE 3)
6. Heel Brake Block | 7. Heel Brake
Frequent braking or complete braking wear out the stoppers. If the stopper has lowered
from its position, it needs to be replaced. Loosen the stopper from the stopper holder with
the key and remove it. Position the new stopper carefully and retighten the Allen screw.
The free space between the lower edge of the stopper and the skating surface must be
between 7-17 mm. As far as possible, let an experienced person replace the stopper.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Always use complete safety gear, since like many comparable sports, inline
skating is a sport with relatively high risk of injury. Always wear a hand and wrist guard,
knee and elbow pads and reflecting clothes and a helmet while skating. However, please
remember that wearing complete safety gear cannot guarantee 100% protection.
HUDORA also provides protectors, helmets and reflecting products. For more information,
visit our http://www.hudora.de/.
Use the skates only on suitable surfaces that are smooth, clean, dry and as free from
traffic as possible. Always give due consideration to other traffic and remember that there
are restrictions for inline skaters in the Road Traffic Ordinance. Do not make any changes
in the inline skates that may compromise safety. The self-locking effect of self-securing
nuts and axles can reduce due to frequent loosening and tightening of the connecting
links. Remove sharp edges resulting from usage immediately. Regular inspections, main-
tenance, and servicing increase the safety and life of your skates. Before you begin, al-
ways check that all connecting links and locking pieces are properly fastened and wheth-
er the stopper still has enough material and has not worn out!
SKATING TECHNIQUE
Every beginning is difficult and the most accidents take place for the ‘beginners’ within
the first ten minutes. Be very careful during this phase! Take a few steps with toes point-
ing forwards because this how you will push off from the ground. Balance on one foot.
Better skills at doing this will make skating and braking easier later. Be careful – inline
skates can reach unexpected speeds. Now practise on clean, level tarmac. Stand straight
on your skates with your feet parallel and about six inches apart. Slowly raise your arms
forward and bend your knees till your shin is in contact with the boot. Let your body
weight pass through the balls of your feet. Beginners often mistakenly stand straight,
keeping knees too stiff and putting their weight on the heels. Avoid all streets that are
steep, have traffic on them or have difficult surfaces. Select the difficulty of the roads and
surfaces according to your level of expertise. Moisture, sand and dirt damage the wheels
and bearings. The next step to learn is turning. Get comfortable with the feel of the edge
by tilting the skates outwards and inwards while you are still standing. Use your hip and
knees to do this. Now try to do this while you are skating. You will experience a greater
pressure on the inside of your foot while turning, which is why you must always lean a
little inwards.
