Official: Anyone into In-line skating?

[Guest Ken L.]

i was there on sat 1030pm. i need advice from Expert here. im using a softboot K2, my ankles/foots tend to bend inwards whenever i to blade thus causing a little stressful on my ankles and not balance while trying to perform a T-brake. y izzit so?

 

Izzit bcos of the softboot rather than a hardboot? Thanks for any advice. by the way, im beginner.

well, i think hard boots are easier for beginners...

but i think wat u need is to blade ard more with other skaters...

then see how they do it then mimick...

i actually learn it from the net, and practice them @ ECP.

 

The beginners corner situated in between the amusement park(near Mac) and the skate hut (shop).

skates too big? buckle or laces din secure tight enough?

softboot are more forgiving, hardboot will probli give u more pain.

for beginners, i suggest that u secure a bit tighter than usual coz it will give u more control over ur skates, when u feel a bit uncomfortable or u more steady liao then slowli release it lor.

[Guest Ken L.]

hi chrispy, will try it out. thks.

[weixiang80]

hii again!

i believe u should actually see ppl skating ard and mingle with them

rather than thru the internet...

unless got video clips... ^_^

 

in any case , practice more often and feel more used to be on wheels can liao

[Guest Ken L.]

yup its video clips.

Assume you got a right size of skates, then your problem might be caused by incorrect technic....

 

Always learn the correct foundemental and basic skill first, no need to push yourself too much.... else when bad habit developed, it take longer time and effort to collect it.....

 

I learn skating in 3months, but take more 1 years to collect bad habit....

walking n skating is two diff thing.

u don't use the same muscle group.

so it's only how u start off when u were learning.( that's what they mean by bad habit)

I've a problem! Having water blisters around my shin area..

is it normal or abnormal?

what's the reasons for having those little tiny winy blisters?

is it because I've tightened too much? or bladed too long hours?

 

eg. of how my tiny winy blisters looks like.. might not be very visible.. Haha

 

 

AND... should i prick those water blisters? or leave it there?

do not prick the blister.

it'll heal much better if u leave it alone.

stop skating for awhile.

[Jacqueline]

my friend bluff me saying i should prick the water blisters.. hahaha..

and.. i've pricked them! oh no.. lols..

nvm la.. wait for it to heal then i go blade.. lols..

[Alex31]

IMO, you should prick the water blister & let them heal. I have done it so many times & just rest a while. I guess the next time you blade, should be better cos there will be a thicker skin covering that area.

[Jacqueline]

this time was one of the worse time as compared to the previous times..

mm the thing is .. i pricked it, but it's back again!

my friend told me to use nail clipper to get rid of the blister skin..

HMMM >

actually.

if u burst it u will have scar after it heal.

if u don't burst it. it will heal faster and less scar.

[weixiang80]

i think prick the blisters better ,

it will dry up faster...

i always burst all blisters....

 

heeee

[Jacqueline]

[hailang_82]

I am sure ur friend is correct......

 

using nail-clipper is an intelligent choice!!!

 

Wunz leave any scars..... blisters are good... cos it is like.... getting rid of those thin skins... and u get thicker ones... likes URS!!!
