Abstract

A skate with aligned wheels, comprising a support for an item of footgear from which a frame protrudes downward. The ends of respective wheel supporting trucks are pivoted to the frame. The peculiarity of the invention resides in the fact that two movable sliders are interposed between the trucks and the respective supports. Advantageously, at least one rubber pad is interposed between each truck and support. The skate allows the user to preset the degree of shock-absorption during skating by varying the position of the slider.
