There was a topic about skateboarding, but this one's about roller blading in specific.
Well I don't know how to skateboard so I stick to my in-line skates.
When I go roller blading I just roam around like I'm walking, no tricks. And it's getting boring, but I suck at tricks, etc..
I'm practicing jumping, I'm starting out small as fuck.
I go roller blading almost daily.
Does anyone rollerblade? Any tips for the noob?

Re: Rollerblading Tips
A little while ago I was kinda intoo inline skating (back to skateboarding after that lol). I dunno if you're talking about just riding around, or jumping and grinding ledges and stuff...

Fingerboard, fingerblade, I wonder what else you can do with your fingers Let's pretend I didn't say that..
Well no I usually do just ride around, but now I wanna try out tricks, like yeah jumping and grinding and stuff.

Re: Rollerblading Tips
If I were you, Id start with some flat jumps. And when you got that try to jump off curbs and stuff. Then try some spinning and after that combine all of that!! Then you can start working on grabs and shit!
Grinding isnt that hard but it can be scarry as hell! If you want to grind something take your time to get the balls (or whatever you got )to do it and keep trying.

Re: Rollerblading Tips
I went out today, I practiced my jumps, damn I suck!! D= But I just started with jumps, I'll give it a bit of time. Thanks! I feel like grinding is a bit too advanced =P And besides there are no poles lying around. So I'll try that later on. Way later =P

Re: Rollerblading Tips
^ O right sorry. Can someone move it please?
Woah! I wonder how long it'll take ME. xD I'm also planning on starting skateboarding, soon. So that's going to be even harder. I used to go biking, but also, no tricks or anything. My bike's fucked up now.Billy41 wrote:haha great job you started jumping! And yeah..you should really take your time, it took me a couple of years to learn how to skate lol!

Re: Rollerblading Tips
Skateboarding is the best sport I ever did! I really recommend trying that, I love it way more than Inline Skating! I also did a little bike riding lol.Sara41 wrote: I'm also planning on starting skateboarding, soon. So that's going to be even harder. I used to go biking, but also, no tricks or anything.

But I sucked at it, a bike is to big for me to pull tricks on

Re: Rollerblading Tips
Yeah I love skateboarding! I can't wait till I get one!
Lol yeah, people that can actually do tricks on bikes have got skillz.
You can't do much on a bike. That's why I got skates. I'm going out again soon. ^^

Re: Rollerblading Tips
Mod powahs ftw.
There's this empty parking lot somewhere around my house. There were some bricks lying around. I fixed them yesterday and I'm practicing my jumps over them. I'm getting better. It's getting easier! I'm going again in a couple of hours.
