How to: Inline Skating
- Put on your inline skates securely and make sure all equipment is in good condition.
- Begin by rolling forward and pushing off with one leg while maintaining balance.
- Alternate legs to glide smoothly, using your arms for balance and propulsion.
- Sweep your arms and legs in a coordinated manner to maintain speed and control.
- Practice stopping techniques such as the heel brake or T-stop for safety.
Common Mistakes
- Not bending the knees enough, which can lead to instability.
- Allowing the hips to sway side to side instead of keeping a firm core.
- Rushing the movements instead of maintaining control.
Modifications
- Use protective pads if you're a beginner.
- Practice in a flat, safe area to improve confidence.
Tips
- Keep your knees slightly bent while skating.
- Focus on even weight distribution on your skates to maintain balance.
- Use your arms to help balance and propel yourself.
