Tips and Tricks # 1


Roller skating is a lot easier than most people realize. It takes practice, but after a while, it can come as naturally to some people as walking. It is simply a matter of getting used to the feeling of having wheels on your feet. Be on the look out for our “Tips and Tricks” blog titles!

A lot of skaters do not think about this, but in order to roll properly and to stop quickly, a healthy amount of knee bend is key. It places your body weight directly over the skate you are standing on, giving you the most control over your skate while it rolls. Mastering knee bend is key in learning how to roll freely.
