Race Skate Race Skate Deals Race skate can be either slalom or speed. In Arizona, most races are for speed. Most races are sponsored by locally organized teams or organizations. The race skate usually has a low-cut boot for freedom of movement, allowing the skater to work more energy into the skate with the ankle. Frames are lighter, and typically aluminum.
Most racers use a full carbon composite boot, and some opt for custom inline skate boots.
