Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Simple rollerblading skills
• Helmet
• Elbow pads
• Knee pads
• Smooth skating surface

1. Learn the wave before trying to learn how to turn. This will make it easier to flow into the trick of turning. Push your feet outwards and inwards in a wave like motion to learn this trick.

2. 

   Begin to roll forward in a downhill slope. Keep your feet parallel.

3. 

   Take one of your feet and push to the side. This should cause you to start turning to the other side.

4. 

   Push to the side to turn with your left foot if you want to turn right. Then push to the side with your right foot if you would like to turn left.

5. 

   Put your feet wider apart if you are afraid of your balance still. This should help you hold up better.
