This may sound totally stupid, but how do you roller skate??

I swear i'm unable to do it. I have no clue how, and had no intention of learning, but then my best friend decided to have a roller skating party. I can only go, like, once or twice before the party. I don't need to be a great skater, just able to move around. (hopefully without falling on my butt.) My best friend and this other girl are going to go with me and try to teach me, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to.





Ohh and i need to be able to stop.

I'm not sure if you are talking about inline skating or 4 wheel pair skating. But still heres some tips.


1. Holding the wall will not help you learn. Let go of the wall and slowly roll.


2. Keep your balance with your arms, even if it looks silly. You're learning!


3. Go slow, no need to go faster than you need to.


4. Once you learn to balance yourself, go faster and make turns.





Eventually you'll get the hang of it and be skating in no time. Hope this helps.
Reply:bend your legs, keep your balance, watch other skaters and relax a little
Reply:Very, VERY carefully!!! I usually stop by hitting a wall if my skates don't have the stoppers on them!!! Just remember to have fun and don't worry about your skating skills once the party is here!!
