Joggers have treadmills, cyclists have stationary bikes.
Soon, in-line skaters may have a training machine to call their own. ASU engineering students have developed a prototype. The machine simulates the crouched position and sideways leg motions that in-line skaters use as they glide across the pavement. Senior mechanical engineering students Gary Avedovech, Surya Suluh, and Reed Inman created the machine at the request of Kevin Campbell, an in-line skating racer from Phoenix. Campbell had contacted mechanical engineering professor Mark Henderson and asked about the possibility of students designing the machine.
