Learn to Skate
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Ultimate Beginner Toolkit for Skating
Rollerskating has a lot of elements to be aware of. Such as the types of skates or wheels and the many styles of rollerskating. To help you best find your favorite styles, skates, and more check out this video to learn more.
Keep in mind, that everyone learns at their OWN pace. You are unique and amazing just for getting up and trying! If anything feels uncomfortable, try it without your skates on, or try it on the grass/carpet! There are always ways to modify and make yourself more comfortable.
STANDING UP: Today’s standing up video comes from Rollerskate to Liberate’s How To’s created by president and founder Sarahs on a roll.
Here’s another helpful standing video from 4WheelFitness that also incorporates edges and bubbles, which we will dive deeper into over this week! Check out her many tutorials and skate happenings through the 4Wheel Fitness Roller Community!
