Stagger your skates, so that one foot is almost in front of the other.
Step3
Lift the toe of your forward skate up so that it rolls on only the back wheel.
Step4
Lift the heel of your back skate so that the skate rolls on only the front wheel.
Step5
Hold your legs rigidly to maintain this two-wheel position.
Step6
Ride on two wheels for as long as you can maintain your balance.
Step7
Pull both skates down to resume normal skating position.
Tips & Warnings
It doesn't matter which foot is forward and which is backward unless your skates have heel brakes. If they do, the heel brake skate must go back. If both skates have heel brakes, remove one of them. Two brakes are unnecessary.
Starting out, only ride on two wheels for a moment, just to get used to getting up and down. After a little practice, you should be able to ride on two wheels as long as you want.
Try turning on two wheels. Then try carving back and forth. Try it backward.
Always wear a helmet, wrist guards and kneepads when in-line skating.

To practice this trick, known as riding heel-toe or an "eazy", you will want to practice with one foot at a time. Keep one skate on the ground, while you lift the other skate into the position it will be in during the trick (riding on heel/toe). Then, do the reverse, keeping the other skate firmly on the ground and one skate in its heel or toe position. Do this for a while before trying to lift both feet into position.

You need an adequate amount of speed, lift your toes and shift your weight so that it is only on the back wheels you may want to start with one foot in front of the other and then gradually bring it back. To use only toes you may want a slower pace.
