Posture * Bend your knees for balance and keep your feet shoulder-width apart * Lean forward slightly. When leaning, think about leaning forward from the waist, not the shoulders * Keep your hands in front of you and low to the ground * Tuck your elbows close to your sides Moving * Keep your skates in a V-shape so that your heels are together and your toes are pointing out * Think about keeping your heels underneath you. If you want to go forward, push the ground away with your heels * If you want to go backwards, push the ground away with your toes * In the beginning, start with small strides. As you get more comfortable, you can increase the distance you glide Stopping * Most skates come with a brake attached to the right heel. Push the brake on your right heel into the ground with firm pressure * Keep the brake forward so that it touches the ground slightly in front of the left toe wheel * The harder you push the brake into the ground, the faster you will stop * Practice stopping from a slow glide until you feel comfortable stopping on command References: https://www.skates.com/how-to-skate-s/84838.htm https://planetrollerskate.shop/pages/learn-to-skate
