1. Proceed step by step; haste makes waste: Trying to learn cool-looking moves right away is a mistake. Not only will you lack a solid foundation, making it difficult to execute the moves correctly, but you'll also be more prone to injury.
2. Safety first: Don't be complacent about safety. Always wear protective gear and warm up properly. Safety is the foundation of all enjoyment.
3. Choose your equipment wisely: For rollerblading, skates are the most basic requirement. They shouldn't be too cheap, but they also shouldn't be too expensive. Superior skates, with their superior flexibility, will cause beginners to fall more often.
4. Balance work and rest: When your muscles and tendons start to tire, it will be difficult to make progress and you'll be more prone to injury. If you feel tired, sore, or painful in certain areas during practice, try a different move.
