Techniques for use and for braking
Inline skating is commonly called "rollerblading," because Rollerblade Inc. was one of the first companies to
manufacture inline skates back in the 1970s. Inline skates are fun and versatile, like ice skating on concrete. It's a great
way of getting exercise and having fun. If you want to learn the basic gear and techniques, you can get started
exploring this great outdoor sport.
1. Put on your skating equipment.
The only equipment you really need to skate is a pair of skates that fit you. Skate sizes are typically the same as
standard shoe sizes. In addition to skates, you should pick up the following items:
- A helmet. It will protect your head from injury.
- Knee/elbow pads and wrist guards. Your hands and knees are bound to hit the floor a few times as you learn how
to roller skate.
2. Assume the right posture.
Stand near a wall or other support for this exercise in the "ready position," with your feet approximately 15-25 cm apart,
with your knees bent and pushed forward in a V-position.
- Another way to stand up is to start with knees on the floor and the rest of your body upright. Then, keeping one
foot kneeled down, bring the other foot forward such that the skate is on the floor (keep the skate in a diagonal
position). Keeping your palms on the floor to form a diamond or triangle shape, repeat the previous step with the
other foot. Then place your palms on your knees and slowly stand up without completely straightening out your
knees.
- Lean forward slightly from your waist and put your arms out in front of you to hold your balance. Look straight
ahead. Practice balancing in this position initially to get a feel for the position and the skates.
- Keep your feet shoulder width apart and your knees flexed slightly to keep yourself balanced and stable.
- Initially, you might like to try getting used to the feeling of your skates by walking around a bit on the grass. Then,
return to a smooth surface and adopt the ready position.
3. Take small steps to get comfortable.
When you first start skating, it'll feel a little like you're just walking on a slippery pair of shoes. Learning to keep your
weight on top of the skates is the best way to learn. Take small steps before you push off too hard and really get rolling,
or your feet will slip out from under you.
- As you practice, try going a little faster each time to encourage your sense of balance with movement. Keep your
speed moderate.
- You'll probably find your feet moving further apart as you try to maintain your balance. Stay balanced and go with
it, and practice bringing your feet back closer together.
- Try the v-walk which is taking small step with one foot by placing it in a diagonal and repeating the same with the
other foot such that they form a v again. However, don't join them such that the skates bang into each other and
knock you over. Once you master this, increase the pace and step size bit by bit, without losing balance, and you
will begin skating.
