Basics of Roller Skating

Now, you’re probably wondering about how to learn roller skating. Well, the best method would be to hire an instructor or get help from a friend who’s good at roller skating. But you can learn by yourself too. Here are all the basics of learning roller skating:

 


1. Get Your Skating Equipment

The first thing you need to learn roller skating is obviously a pair of roller skates. You can either buy them or rent from your local roller-skating rink. You need to make sure that the shoes fit you properly. Try on different sizes but it’s normally the same as your regular shoe size.

If your shoes don’t fit you properly, you won’t be able to balance properly. They will also cause painful blisters. You can try putting on two pairs of socks if your shoes are a bit loose.

The next thing you need are safety gears. Chances are when you are just starting to learn roller skating, you are going to fall a lot. Helmets and knee pads are must haves. You should also wear gloves and elbow pads. Using proper safety gear will save you from most of the injuries and also allow you to practice for longer which greatly reduce the learning time.

2. Finding the Right Balance

First thing you’ll need to learn is balancing properly on roller skates. Balancing on roller skates is not easy. Especially, on inline skates. You should start out on a carpet or grass so that you don’t get hurt if you fall. They have higher traction than smooth surfaces. So, you won’t be rolling automatically on your skates. This will also remove some of the fear of falling.

To balance on roller skates, you should start by bending your knees and lean slightly forward. You need to go down to a half squatting position. Your feet should stay shoulder width apart. Try to stay relaxed. Try to slowly walk forward like a duck. Move forward one step at a time. Maintain your posture so that you don’t lose balance.

With some practice, you should be comfortable doing this. When you are confident about your balance, move on to the next step.

3. Gliding

 

To practice gliding, you need to find a smooth and flat ground. Get into the right position with your knees bent and lean slightly forward. Stay low and extend your legs. Push back in a sideways motion. You should be gliding now.

While one skate is gliding, bring the other one and put it down close behind your gliding skate. Push with this one in the same way as the previous one. Keep repeating this process to keep on gliding.

For your first few pushes, you may notice that you’re not moving at all. This is because your pushing motion is not correct. If you’re trying to push straight backwards like walking, you won’t be able to move at all. Make sure to push sideways. Move your body weight to the pushing leg to get a fluid gliding motion.

Try to keep your balance on a single skate while gliding. You may not be able keep it for long at first. But with enough practice, you can glide with a single push for multiple seconds. If it seems hard for you, practice beside a rail so that you have something to latch on to. Speed will come naturally with practice. As you get more comfortable gliding with your skates, you will be able to increase your speed and fluidity of gliding.

 

4. Breaking

Now that you know how to glide, you need to learn the breaking process. There are a lot of methods for breaking with your roller skates. If your roller skates aren’t too old, there should be a rubber brake on the toe of your roller skates. As a beginner, I’d recommend that you use those.

Stopping using your toe brake is easy. Get into the squatting position and extend the foot you want to break with a little behind. Make sure you can hold your weight on one skate. Put pressure on the toe you’re trying to break with. Keep dragging and putting pressure till you come to a stop. The harder you press on the brake, the faster you’ll stop.But there are ways to brake without using the toe brakes. To do this, you need to spread your legs and push down on your roller skates. Bend your knees to a sitting position to put more pressure. Move your toes a little inwards. And you should come to a stop. Again, the better you can put pressure on your skates, the faster you’ll stop.

 

5. Turning

Roads aren’t straight, neither are they endless. So, you’ll have to turn at some point. Shift your body weight to the side you want to turn. If you want to turn left, shift your body weight to the left foot. Look at the direction you want to turn to. Bring your right foot in front of the left one in a crossing motion. When you’ve finished turning, bring the right foot back to its initial position.And that’s all the basic stuff you need to know to ride freely on skates. Stay confident and practice a lot. Find a skate park and meet other skaters as some of them might be eager to give you some pointers on improving your skating. Maybe they’ll even teach you a few cool tricks.
