DEFINITION:
Profile is a term used to describe the
shape of a skate wheel and whether the skate wheel has a
flat or pointed surface.
Speed Skating Wheel Profile
Wheels designed for fitness and speed skating
are narrow with a round or pointed skating surface
because that type of wheel provides the most speed
and is most suitable for turning tight corners.
Aggressive Skating Wheel Profile
Vert and skaters typically prefer a wide wheel
with a flat skating surface because that kind
of wheel provides the best stability. Some aggressive
skaters also like to use a wheel that is flat on one
side for certain types of tricks.
