Roller Skating Lessons

Quick tips on Roller Skating.........................................
1. DO NOT BUY CHEAP MOODY LOOKING ROLLERSKATES!! They will damage your feet as well as give you a terrible ride. The'll also sound like a diesel mini cab on its last legs.
2. It takes around 2 to 3 months of everyday skating to become competant at the basics.
3. Wrist guards and elbow pads are essential as well as some sort of head protection, falling on skates can end your enthusiasm there and then. Can you really afford to take 6 weeks off work?
4. Do listen to music and skate with a partner to keep up motivation. Some parks have an already established skating community be it bladers or quadies.
5. Skates are cheaper online if you know what you are looking for. ebay is your first port of call. Don't pay more than £100 unless you plan to keep them for life!
6. Starter wheels are KRTPTONIC'S with ABEC 5 or 7 bearings to ensure a supreme ride. The rubber suspensions just above the wheels will make a huge difference so make sure you purchace or beg hard for "CLOUDS" branded rubber/splitters.
7.I found that the quickest way to learn to skate is to dance!! go for it maaaan! balance is key to skating so rollerdisco's in conjunction with tons of online YT vedeo's might help..
8. Bauer Turbo's (discontunued) and the SUPREME clone are my skates of choice but they are not designed for roller dance as they are hard and not flexible but dont let it stop ya if you wanna look cool tho. leather is the optimal boot for dancing. You can forget the leather pants this time round!
9. Skate/hockey socks can be used to cover the laces and keep the boot tongue from flapping about as well as matching your new spangly outfit
10. Do not give up!! balance comes suddenly when you least expect it. good luck!

Its freezing cold but that wont stop me from making a skating video in my native South London. I am not really a dancer and this vid is just for fun so don't be sending me no hate mail. Don't expect to learn a damn thing either!! just enjoy the tunes i mixed and annihilated. one love to all skaterz out there

great video. i've been skating up here in birmingham everyday for nearly 13 years. I use Air Wave wheels with ABEC 5s, works a dream if you're doing hardcore street skating and coning off the wheels. still use my old Bauer Turbos
