Like other animals, seek protection when it rains and this usually limits us and locks us. We stop doing activities in a day without rain would develop normally. Skating in the rain requires a different technique, with very subtle application of force. We will need lots of practice. Skating
wet pavement is harder and less enjoyable. It is more dangerous than the dry. We have to make pulses shorter and more frequent. Slow down because the ground is very slippery. Shorter strides eliminate power spikes that are causing slip. The driving shoe has to recover as quickly as possible the center line. It is to remain balanced, focused, and self-sufficient.
Try to do every time we drive a more gradual application of power. In a big step in dry most of the power occurs at the end, because it is the most effective and efficient. That does not work so well in the wet, as the peak force at the end tends to raise the risk of slipping. We need to maintain constant force during much of the stride. Another way is to push down through your skates, not out. Keep soft and smooth skating. Try to keep your wheels as vertical as possible, as this improves traction.
must be very careful in the wet slip. We will not be able to turn so quickly, quickly stop or go as fast. Pay extra attention and plan much more than normal. Wet soil can cause a fall or accident, and we do not want that to happen. Finally, we are sure that we are skating within our own boundaries and in case of doubt we'll take it in stride.
hard wheels are contraindicated in the wet, as they lose much traction. Overall, with soft wheels have more grip in the wet.
Take special care to areas under trees and other vegetation, marking of roads, grates, manhole covers, etc. In general, the roughness of the road has more traction than polished surfaces.
With hours of skating in the rain ceases to be a terrible experience and will likely become something you enjoy.
