Don ’ t you ever think about riding those wheeled boots ? It ’ s a really fun sport that some people enjoy doing ! There are a lot of tricks that you can do on roller skates , like spinning , going in the bowl , and flipping out of the bowl . You should learn how to roller-skate , it benefits your legs more than running ! Learn the basics before doing any of these .
Learning to Ride Your Skates Before you learn the tricks , you ’ ll need to learn to ride them ! When you ’ re riding your skates , make sure to …
● Bend Your Knees a Bit
● Have your feet facing outwards like a V shape
● Make sure to push your feet outwards and bring them back to place each time you glide around .
● Remember that skating is NOT like walking
If you keep all of these in mind , then you ' ll find yourself riding your skates !
Wanna Do Twists and Turns ? Learning to turn on roller skates might take some time . The most important thing is that you have your feet facing opposite ways . If you ’ re trying to take a turn , then you ’ ll have to put pressure on the right part of your skates while skating . It ’ s something that will be important when skating !
Bubbling Around ! Bubbles are big circles that you make , they kind of look like bubbles ! These can be useful when learning how to skate backwards . For this one , you ’ ll need to have your feet facing inwards . Then you spread your legs out and bring them back in ! If you want to bubble forward , then do what you did , just doing the steps backwards ! To do multiple bubbles you ’ ll have to avoid bringing your feet all the way back in , instead , have it leave a little space in-between so that your bubbles can keep on going !
Skating Backwards If you can do multiple bubbles with no trouble . Then this is probably going to be like a piece of cake for you ! The bubbles will be a little different from the normal bubbles that you ’ ve been doing . These bubbles will be done with one leg at a time . While going backwards , do a bubble , just with one leg . Then , do the same with your other leg . Now try going backwards doing a bubble with one leg . Make sure to do them one at a time until you get the hang of it ! You ’ ve learned all the basics ! Now that you know all the basics , you can start doing more advanced things later on in your life . Maybe you can even combine some of the tricks and skate ! Maybe you can even inspire others to learn ! Skating is a really fun sport !
