Reply:well it is really simple just put your legs like really close togather and then from the bottom make them go into the opposite direction and you will be fine. i assume that you have courage but i really beleive you should show it. and i have no doubt you will succeed.
Reply:You should learn how to skate with the four wheel ones first. After you have learned the skating techniques then you can use the roller blades. Because the wheels are in one line it is harder to maintain your balance. Do the same techniques that you did while in the four wheel skates. Use your arms to balance and propel yourself. It just takes lots of practice. The more you do it the more comfortable you till feel. Yes, you may fall a few times but it is all part of the learning experience. Have fun!
Reply:try the other kind of roller skates.. that's how i learned... and slowly go back to the roller blades
Reply:Yeah, wear a bunch of pads along with a helmet , at least when you're learning. Pads include wrist pads, elbow and knee pads. Find a nice smooth surface, such as a parking lot. My favorite place to roller blade is a concrete parking lot with no traffic. Tennis courts are great too. Especially if the net is down. You may want to go to a local roller rink to practice. If you are reasonably coordinated then you should feel comfortable on roller blades within a short period. Oh, buy good quality roller blades that are comfortable. Try not to fall on your butt; keep your weight forward.
Reply:I learned how to roller blade while our son was in a stroller 16 years ago and I have shared this advice with many people, trying it first behind a stroller is the best way to go! If you don't have kids, borrow one and a stroller! HA! My advice would be a toddler, not a newborn. Or perhaps put a large sack of potatoes in one if you are accident prone. Start out slow, pushing out to the sides, get a rhythm going. The tricky part is stopping and slowing down. You should have a brake on the back of at least one of your skates, maybe both. If you are right handed, put your weight on your left foot, knees slightly bent, lift the toe of your right skate and let the brake hit the ground, smoothly, not suddenly. The faster you want to stop, the more pressure you apply. You can learn to use the brake to slow yourself down while going down hill, try very small hills first!


Hope this helps! Have fun.
Reply:I rollerblade all of the time. Have your feet pointed A LITTLE outwards and make sure you are ballanced. Just roll on the wheels and stop if you need to. Rollerblading is alot of fun....all you really need is balance.
Reply:Depending on how old you are, you can have your mum/dad hold your hand and pull you along until you find your balance point and are able to skate by yourself. If you're too old for mum/dad's help, you can have a friend help you, or you can use a shopping cart until you find your balance point.





Hope this helps. =]
Reply:the first thing i made sure i could do when i started roller blading was balance. but your skates on and make sure you can stand still and push off something and have your balance. when you got that down, practice accelerating by pushing off with your feet. when you get that down you pretty much have roller blading down.
Reply:Yeah no problem i don't know your friends but they should help you out . You want to stand up lazy kind of like orangutang alright not exactly but you want to bend you knees a little and let your arms rest beside your hips or in front of your thighs also you'll want point your elbows out little not a lot though now you should remember don't skate frozen or like a statue move you arms and legs once you get going to get going you want to push slide or roll your skate diagonally backwards.Keep practicing. Hope this helps you out.
Reply:Hey, i love to roller blade,. It's very easy once you get the hang of it.





to help you with your balance you can start of by going slowly, like just gliding along a flat surface. like maybe a quiet street.





once youve got the hang of that you can start like pushing with your feet(still going at a steady speed) while holding on to someone or something.





once youve done that you can go on your own(but you should have people with you still).





and if you fall, it;s ok. just get back up..





and you should wear helmets and pads and everything(just to be safe)





HOPE THIS HELPED!!
