Used to blade regularly. Remember to wear hand and knee guards at the very least. Helmet is useful for some :wink:

Learn to fall on your knee guards and use your hand guards for support when you fall. Might be useful in helping you to stop if you haven't learnt it yet.

Lace up your blades tightly. This may hurt a little at first but it's important in minimizing the risk of spraining your ankle. Makes it easier for you to lift your blades to move too.

Bend your knees to give you better balance and lower your centre of gravity. Relax your head and neck to make balancing easier. If you've tried skiing before, this will be easy.

Take your favourite drink along and hey presto, you are blading! :)
