Question
hello
since there is no roller blading expert i'll ask you, because it's close.
do u need a falling tecnique? if so can you please explain to me how i asohuld try and fall so i would not hurt myself, becaue i'm a total beginner i can't skate yet at all.
Answer
You are right, I am not a Roller Blade expert, but I know that when you fall on Quad Skates in Figure Skating, the main thing is to remember to let yourself relax and let it down easy....don't brace your fall with stiff arms. Like any fall, if you stiffen up it would not help you keep from getting injured.
Falling is "part of the deal" and through experience you will find out how to use the body to "prepare for landing" <smile>.......
Sorry I don't know more about blading.
I didn't answer you sooner because I am out of town in Omaha at the Figure Championships.
