Inline figure skating is inline skating similar to figure skating on inline skates — three or four-wheel frames with a toe-stop, mounted on figure skating boots in rockered configuration.
Inline figure skating began as an off-ice training alternative for ice figure skaters. The International Roller Sports Federation (FIRS) has recognized it as artistic roller skating on inline skates and includes inline figure skating freestyle competitions at its world championships.[1][2]
