The 16 basic roller skating maneuvers are: stand, step, glide, one-foot straight forward glide, one-foot straight backward glide, side-to-side straight glide, balanced crouch glide, huckle-step glide, A-turns, figure eights, lunge turns, press turns, simple jumps, brakes, stops, and safety falls.
Beginners learn to glide by keeping the left foot in front and the right foot behind. Lean your upper body forward, stretch your hands outward flat parallel to your shoulders, and place your weight on your left foot. Then bring your right foot back to the inside of your left foot. Slowly slide your right foot forward and stomp your left foot backward while putting your weight on your right foot.
Braking there are many ways, beginners in the learning, must choose suitable for their own way of braking, according to their own level and physical quality to choose. Braking needs to be chosen according to the comprehensive situation, otherwise you will be injured when skidding braking. First of all, you need to know the direction of braking force, the part of force, and the amplitude of movement. The distance of braking can not be too far, but also can not be no, direct braking will be very dangerous. Especially when braking for a short distance, the speed can not be too fast, nor can there be too much tilt.
Origins of Roller Skating:
The first skates in 1100 A.D. were made using bones mounted on the palms of long leather boots to help hunters also hunt game in the winter, and were exploded by Dutchman, a Scot, in 1700 A.D., who created the first pair of skates. Hoping to simulate winter skating in summer, he attached long strips of spool wood with hammered nails to his shoes. The first skating club was formed in Edinburgh in this year.
The first inline skates appeared in 1760 A.D. A London musical instrument maker, Joseph Merrill (perhaps the first to actually invent the single inline wheel), decided to make metal boots with wheels. One day he was attending a makeup dance and he skated in through the entrance to play his violin.
But before he knew how to brake and control the shoes with wheels, he crashed into a ￡500 mirror (mirrors were more expensive than gold at the time), knocking him off his feet and cutting him so badly it didn't matter that the fiddle was ruined, he couldn't afford to pay for the mirror. He ended his skating performance in front of a huge mirror, and until the end of this ball he still hadn't learned how to brake to a stop and steer the direction of the rudder. Indeed, single skate skill is not how to start to start, but how to stop.
