Inline Skating is done on inline skates usually with 4 – 5 wheels, which are arranged in a single line. This form of skating is done on the same areas and parks as skateboarding, on the road, sidewalk, various street furnishings, like fences and steps, and on special tracks and areas, including skate parks and half-pipes. Inline skaters can be found sharing public and private skate parks with skateboarders in cites around the world.
Sydney Olympic Park is home to Monster Skatepark, Australia's largest skate facility that caters for all inliners, whether beginnner or advanced.
Monster Skatepark comprises a 14ft vert ramo, spinned-mini ramp and an indoor street course. The skatepark is located outside the Sports Hall (cnr Grand Pde and Olympic Blvd).
Monster Skatepark is not only just for the people who can take on the vert, but want to take on the ramp. To help you 'get your wings', Monster has opened the Monster Academy development clinics.
You can also inline around the sights of Sydney Olympic Park on one of our Bike Safari Circuits.
In March 2007, the National Inline Championships were hosted at Monster Skatepark, where some of the best were battling it out for the title. Being the only international standard skatepark in Australia, international skaters like to drop in with little notice, so make sure you check the Monster website regularly for updates.
