:confused:

If you can afford, you should got for an proper skating lesson, teach by certified instructor.

 

The reason :

1. Self learning is slow, often develope a wrong technic or bad habit.

 

2. Certified instructor have the correct teaching method, will teach you the correct basic skill, correct you when you have bad habit, etc.

 

3. A correct, good basic foundamental is very important for you to learn advance skating technic, for example, speedskating, figure skating or inline hockey etc. (Who know you might become a Certified instructor later ?)

 

4. Some might suggest you to learn from friends. Yes, provided your friends is good enough to teach you (certified ?), and really have patient to guide you thru all the basic required skating technic.

 

5. The rest is up to yourself, instructor only can teach you the technic, but, how often you want to practise, learn..... it is up to you.....

 

 

Lots of ppl giving up after some falls, leading to injuries, wasting money bought the expensive equipment..... because they didnt learn to enjoy the sports....

** Be smart, ride safely, stay legal **

hmmm...so i gather from mr lau's answer...that a proper certified class would means those type which teaches each level wth several classes? and that it would be better than those sort of crush classes which jamm all the levels together into 4 classes?

*feel so broke*:weep:

Rollerblade MacroBlade ?

 

hahahaha... i had the maroon one, used to be top of the range man.... bladed until the gasket broke, then can only hold 7 wheels.

 

been blading since 1993, with yrs in between of not balding, but learnt rollerskating prior to blading.

 

i rem buying my guards on 31st Mar 1994, one day before they implemented GST, so as to save on the GST... :cheeky:

 

Sunday sounds great, wat time and which part of ECP ? I'll be there as long as I'm not working at tt time.

Just a few humble suggestions for those who are intending to get a pair of new inline skates.

 

There are lots of brands around in the market i.e. Salomon, K2, Rollerblade, Roces, Ultra Wheels, Fila, Nike etc etc... Choose something with the following considerable factors:

 

1. Your budget?

 

2. Your skating discipline i.e. Fitness, Recreational, Figure, Freestyle, Aggressive or Speed?

 

3. Comfy level of the skates you have decided on? Branded skates doesn't mean it will be good and works well on your legs. You wouldn't wanna take off your skates before you can even skate on it for less than 15 mins due the soreness and pain created by your skates.

 

4. Last but not least, your likeness on the skates you've decided cos you're gonna spend your pocket money on them and definitely want them to serve you long and well enuff.

frankly, i believe that most blades are white elephants, so i'd actually recommend commitment before buying
