Inline Skates
Inline skates?
anybody 30 and over that can skate. I have bought some inline skates so I can skate with my kids and i've just had a go and i'm all over the place. My kids make it look so easy. Is it an age thing or a balance thing.
I love this question. I am an in-line skater. Firstly you must understand that in-line skating involves a number of actions: a) balance. b) forward trust. c) turning. d) slowing. e) stopping. Not to mention falling down.
Quite similar to cycling.
Secondly, you must know which one to master first. As you can see from the list, balancing is the most important. Break it into 2 steps again: one when you are standing - not moving; the other when you are moving. When you are standing, bend your knees and hips, with your feet in v shape, lean slightly forward, this would help to lower your center of gravity and less likely to fall. If you still cannot stand without falling, try placing the skates right angle to each other.
Next, after you can stand without falling, pick an inclined path where it ends with a grass patch. Go down the path while you learn to balance in motion. Try it again and again. By the way, you can train yourself standing on a grass patch and walk on it first. Of cause with the skates on.
The next important things, however is to learn how to fall. You must get all the protective gears: Helmet, Wrist Guards, elbow guards and knee guards. Everything that is mentioned. Learn to fall forwards and break the fall with those guards. Learn it on a grass patch. Do not skate on wet surface, you are asking for trouble.
After you have mastered this 2 important steps, the rest would fall into the picture. You can start trusting yourself forward, learn to slow with the hind brake, turn slowly towards left or right and even emergency stop or turning 180 degrees.
It is a great sport. Do not give up and happy skating.
