Share Rollerblading tips
-
I have just begun to do inline skating for one week, and now I can do some strokes and glides. However I still fall everytime I practise, sometimes on my butt sometimes on my hands.
Does anyone have any tips/experiences/stories to share about rollerblading? -
move your body forward... if your gravity point is at the back, then you will fall and your butt will hit the floor hard !!!

Yup, damn painful. Especially when I stand in my rollerskates, I'm almost 1.75m, fall even harder.Originally posted by Glen999:move your body forward... if your gravity point is at the back, then you will fall and your butt will hit the floor hard !!!
But I find that when I can stroke quite smoothly I tend to go too fast...and I still don't know how to turn...
Any interesting stories to share? -

yea... u can do power slides to brake, so dont need that rubber brake...
and always lean forward and bend ur knees... keep low at higher speeds..
falling forward is so much better than falling back... seriously...
at least u got padding...
fall on your butt can risk spinal fracture... im not joking... -

its a way of stopping very fast, w/o using the heel brake...Originally posted by alexkusu:wtf is that? drifting?
u are travelling straight, then u just suddenly twist both skates to one side, making u skid to a stop.
its something like ice hockey... the recent jap drama Pride has some examples... -

ya thats true.... its not kind on your skates...Originally posted by FireIce:u will wear out ur wheels and bearings very fast
i don use it often... -
Power slide and hockey brake are 2 different ways of braking. Power slide involve turning the direction you face and immediately jam the leg infront perpendicular to your movement direction. You will be sliding backward for a while with the other leg bend. Hockey brake is a sudden sharp turn causing both foot to point perpendicular to your direction of movement and thus stopping almost immediately.Originally posted by Oriental & Beautiful:yea... u can do power slides to brake, so dont need that rubber brake...

T-brake is my most common brake since I took out the brake pad. Everytime my friend will goes "pick up all those wheel tracks, what a waste".
Actually can download a lot of clips from the net that show tips and techni. Search for inline blade tips. -

yupz leads to a serious need for callus formation and bone restructuringOriginally posted by foxwalk:serious injuries? -
Bend your knees, a rough gauge is that you shdn't see the front of your soles.
Its not necc to bend forward because by bending your knees, your centre of gravity is already shifted to the front. -
look in front, not look down......
