In my posts I intend to explain everything clearly. From time to time some jargon may slip in...
  • Chin Ups. Using your arms to lift yourself up with your grips supinated (underhand). So your palms facing towards from you.
  • Cones. In the context of slalom and freeline skating these are small plastic cones used as obstacles to weave between. Twenty cones at 80cm apart are competition standard setup.
  • ESS. Easy Saturday Skate.
  • Freeline Skates. A type of skate designed to mimic snowboarding and surfing in an urban environment. www.freelinesports.eu
  • Left side. In the context of slalom and freeline skating it is using your left leg to lead in your manoeuvres. 
  • LFNS. The London Friday Night Skate. Also home to the Sunday Stroll skate. (just to confuse you!).
  • LSST. London Skaters Speed Team.
  • OCR. Obstacle Course Racing. The Tough Mudder events being the most commercially recognised.
  • Pull Ups. Using your arms to lift yourself up with your grips pronated (overhand). So your palms facing away from you.
  • Recreational Skates. A good all-round skate, not really designed for any specialised forms of skating.
  • Right side. In the context of slalom and freeline skating it is using your right leg to lead in your manoeuvres. 
  • Slalom. On this site it's most likely referring to a style of skating incorporating small plastic cones. Twenty cones at 80cm apart are competition standard setup.
  • Speed Skates. A type of skate with little ankle support, the boot being light and most of the weight are from the wheels which are typically of 110mm or 100mm in diameter.
  • Survival of the Fittest. An organised obstacle race over 10k or 5k. www.mhsurvival.co.uk
  • Tough Mudder. An organised obstacle run over 12miles. www.toughmudder.co.uk
