Question

What do I do if I'm going too fast on inline skates and I'm going to fall?

Community Answer

Sometimes it is best to fall down deliberately. Fall down on your knee pads and they will protect you. This also improves your confidence in your pads and lets you know that falling down is okay. If you can, try to fall somewhere soft like in some grass. That would be easier than falling on something like concrete.

Question

Is there any place I can buy the heel break?

Community Answer

You can buy some online. If you do, make sure that they are the right size! You don’t want to buy them and then have to send them back because they are too big or small.

Then you should tilt your toes slightly forward. These ones usually stop you at the moment, so be careful.

Question

What if my inline skates don’t have back brakes and I’m not able to attach brakes to them?

Community Answer

You may need to buy another pair with heel brakes because the type of skates that you’re using right now sound like they’re meant for aggressive skating, not for beginners or just casual ones.
