Rollerblading?! :D

So, I'm taking up rollerblading, and I would just like some tips. Finding my center of gravity, not being afraid of falling down, and most of all.. STOPPING! ^__^

I used to rollerblade.. but I never knew how to stop. So, I never went out. xD But, I'm taking it up again, because I need some kind of excercise that isn't harsh on my feet [ running ] or requires extreme hard work [ gymnastics ]. Something that's cool. ;D So, I chose to rollerblade, because you basically just glide, but you still work out. And you can use it in daily life! I know.. it's kind of like riding a bicyle all over again. xD But hey, I gotta start somewhere. I bought some pretty good skates. Women's Rollerblader? I dunno, but it was around 60 bucks, and my dad had to buy it, so I NEED to learn.

Oddly enough, after I was doing some pilates on my thighs, I got increasingly better at my coordination when I practiced with my skates only the second time! xD; Weird, huh? Stopping on the break seems still new and hard for me.. since I'm still having a rough time moving. ^^; And the skates are still fairly new to me, so I've just gotta get used to them. What's the longest average time it takes a person to really get a good hold on rollerblading? I mean, sure it could take forever, but AN average? I'm sure I'll out last that average, but a guesstimate if you practice around an hour a day.

A few days to learn the basics of it, and a month to be good at it.

As for braking, either use the braking pad or sharp turn braking, which can take you a while to master (hurt myself a couple of times there), but is excellent for stopping.

omg.

I love rollerblading...

too bad I never go forwards...

I always skate backwards xD

then I go to the skatepark and show off my l33t skillz.

I think of it like running with weels 8D

AND NEVER STOP WITH THE BRAKES D:

Learn how to slide yourself to gain more friction and stop yourself... or how to turn so sharply without falling on your face that you stop. When you're skating, and a car comes rolling by (if you skate in the street like me) the brakes aren't fast enough.

I pay to play the RL MMORPG, College. 4 years grinding in college gets you a piece of paper for the rest of your life and you can buy enough stuff to +9 your car//house.

Never straighten you knees when blading

Never put your feet together, keep them seperated

Move your feet like \ /. Not | |. If you get what I mean.

And have fun! Don't panic!
