Inline skating for beginners

Inline skating, as the world's most popular outdoor extreme sports, the number of people who play is really too many to count. The people who are learning to skate for the first time, after learning simple skating, then we have to learn the most important one technical braking. Below I have organized a single skate practice skills and braking techniques, I hope to help you!

Methods/Techniques:

1. Before putting on the shoes to do the necessary warm-up activities, from the neck, hands, waist, legs to the foot joints to all the activities, so that the tendons and bones completely stretch out. Buy shoes to choose flat flower shoes, that is, the middle two wheels big before and after the wheels slightly smaller kind. Do not buy casual shoes, because casual shoes behind the brake, a knife on the frame of four wheels as big as the buy back can only slip, cornering,

2. Beginners wear good shoes after the first to practice how to stand firm, wearing good roller skates slowly hold on to the support to get up, will be the feet close to each other, set up into a capital T word, so that you can stand steadily

3. How to "walk", walk skillfully after the natural can slowly slide up. Beginners can practice walking on the grass if they find it difficult to slide on the road.

4. Protective gear is essential, wear good protective gear to protect yourself. Including elbow pads, knee pads, hand guards, helmets. Beginners due to technical problems, generally fall to the head, you can not buy a helmet. Just play when you must first understand the terrain, even turning will not be, slippery time is very dangerous, this time you have to be calm, because you will not brake, this time you can not stop, that is quite dangerous, the experience is to jump directly into the roadside grass or tree pits, compared to hardening the ground to fall to a lighter point.

5. Just learn to first practice balance, bend your knees to stand firm and then inside eight outside eight forward skating, find a video screen to learn the T-brake, the basic will be in the study of some action, slowly.

6. Beginners must be more slippery, but do not go to brush the street. According to the "People's Republic of China *** and the State Road Traffic Safety Law Enforcement Regulations" stipulates: prohibit the use of skateboards, roller skates and other skating tools on the road to skate. Especially beginners must beware.

7. The knee of the supporting leg should not be bent more than 90 degrees. Throughout the exercise, always keep the center of gravity on the supporting leg. Repeat to the right side of the leg to retrieve 10 times, and then change the left leg to do the same action 10 times, beginners do 2 3 sets each time, to be improved strength and coordination can gradually increase the number of times.

Note:

Double-row skating is the parent of roller skating. Single-row skating was developed on the basis of double-row skating, initially as an auxiliary training program for speed skating. In contrast, single-row skates are fast, so extreme sports, speed skating has been greatly developed. And double row skates are now more as figure with shoes.

Several Braking Methods for Single Row Skating

Runouts: (Around the Barrier)

If the path you're skating on is lined with grass or something softer, it's easy to just skate on it. That surface will help slow you down, but you have to be careful of sudden changes in speed. If you're already out of control, at least you'll be on grass, not pavement.

Wall stop

This stop is really simple: slide towards a wall or any reasonably stationary object and use your arms to cushion yourself as you touch them. At lower speeds this should be fairly safe (remember to turn your head when contacting the wall so you don't hit your face on the wall).

Your shoes may or may not hit the wall, depending on how fast you are skating. The key is to learn to use your arms as a cushion (like doing push-ups while standing up.) One way to practice this is to stand 1 or 2 feet away from the wall with your shoes on, now lean toward the wall and support yourself with your hands. You should rebound slightly, provided you avoid hitting your head against the wall. The faster you lean against the wall, the less bounce you'll get.

Another method that can be used is to stop like a ball in a pool. Now instead of a stationary object, we're going to transfer your impulse to your fellow skaters around you. To be on the safe side, warn your partner loudly of your approach as you approach him. This has method is very effective on flat ground and at low to medium speeds. However, it is not recommended at high speeds and when there are no familiar companions around.

Windbraking

Windbraking is not so much a method of braking as a method of controlling your speed (although in windy conditions, windbraking can stop you). Stand with your arms fully extended and visualize a puffed up sail. If necessary, you need to lean forward slightly to strengthen the wind.

The brake-pad

The foot brake has always been a controversial thing. Many people who have skated on real ice or roller skates find it in the way, as if it was installed in the wrong place. In a word, it just doesn't work. However, if you learn how to use it step-by-step, you'll soon realize that your footbrake can actually be used for a variety of purposes. Here are some of the benefits:

1. You can use it even at very high speeds.

2. With a foot brake, both your feet are on the ground, which helps you maintain your balance.

3. When you need to brake in heavy traffic (there may be a lot of cars or bicycles around you), using the foot brake allows you to keep your movements as small as possible.

4. You can also steer when braking with it.

5. The sound of the brakes can often warn others of your presence.

6. The foot brake is by far the most economical and practical technology for inline skating.

Now we will start to explain how to learn how to use the foot brake. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Then, slide your feet back and forth across each other repeatedly. This exercise is designed to get you used to shifting your center of gravity between your feet. To use the footbrake, step out of the leg where the footbrake is located while keeping your toes off the ground and your heel down. At this point your center of gravity should be between your legs. In the beginning, it may be slightly on the foot behind you. The key point here is to keep your back straight and your knees bent as you perform the movement.

If you find it difficult to balance or you don't have enough wrist strength in your braking foot, try the following technique: form a triangle with your legs below the knee and the ground. This means forming the triangle by placing your back knee behind or beside the knee of your braking foot.

As we learn more, we'll eventually learn to stop at highway speeds. In general, the more force you apply to the brakes, the faster you will stop. To achieve maximum downforce, your entire body weight has to be on your footbrake, which means that your other foot is actually off the ground and leaning on your braking foot. This is a yell that you need to practice over and over again. It allows you to stop in a very short distance at very high speeds. Of course, you can keep your other foot on the ground for balance if you need to.

Note that the resistance offered by the footbrake when braking is related to how new it is. A half new brake is ideal. That's why so many people will sand off part of their new brake.

There is one more very important thing you need to remember: you can steer while braking. While keeping the brake on the ground, use the wheel on your heel to turn slightly in the direction you want. This works well on narrow roads or when you're dodging pedestrians, cars, trees and street edges.

Foot brakes are cheaper than wheels. In the choice of braking method, we have different options, either with the wheel, or with the foot brake, or with nothing more. But in most situations, we still need to stop with the help of something. If you have learned to use the footbrake to stop in a hurry, from the point of view of economy and practicality, I still recommend using your footbrake in most situations.

V-brake

V-stop/snowplow (V-brake)

At low speeds, you can either V-stop with your heels together (for backwards skating), or V-stop with your toes together (for forward skating), where your shoes hit each other and stop you. This can cause you to fall in the direction of the skate (depending on how fast you are going), so you have to compensate by leaning your body forward or leaning your body backward.

You can even exaggerate the motion a bit by opening up your legs beyond shoulder width, leaning in on your heels or toes as before (this will not cause your shoes to collide), and pressing down with your legs on your inside edges, which will slow you down quite a bit. This can also be used at higher speeds.

Intermediate braking

- Advanced runouts

- crossover stop

When skating on grass, you can control your speed by alternating between grass and ground. This works well when going downhill. To stop, stay on the grass.

When you're on the grass, keep your knees bent and one foot in front of the other. Almost all the weight is on the foot that touches the grass first, tensing the front leg as if it's plowing a path for the following leg. Very little weight is on the trailing leg. Relaxing the muscles, the trailing leg serves only to stabilize and maintain balance. Here, the lead leg does most of the work.

It's a lot of fun to get up on the turf at full speed, with a little slope that lets you skate a long way before the grass stops you. But only if the grass is dry. Wet dirt or grass will clog your wheels and your shoes will get stuck in the mud.

In the process of growing from beginner to intermediate, a lot of people actually realize that it's just a matter of body movement. The hard part is really understanding what you're doing and what it means.

T-stop

The principle of the T-stop is that friction is provided by the wheels to stop the skater. To perform the maneuver, one foot is dragged back and it is almost in a perpendicular position to the skating foot. Bend your knees a little and drag the wheel of your back foot on the ground. As you do this, emphasize the concept that the focus of the drag should be on the heel, not the first wheel. If you drag the front wheel too much, it's just going to make you spin. Throughout, your body weight is primarily on the (front) foot that keeps the slide going. If you are at high speeds, the only way to stop in a short time is to put more pressure on the shoe you are dragging behind you. Remember that most of your body weight is still on your front foot at this point.

Note: One particular phenomenon of note is that T-stops, or any method of braking by wheel dragging (e.g., dragging the front wheel), tend to produce "smoothed wheels". If your wheels don't roll at all when braking, then there is only one thing that can happen, and that is that your wheels get smoothed out. An out-of-round wheel will interfere greatly with smooth coasting. Your wheels will be scrapped just like that.

Toe-drag

This is basically the same as the T-stop, except now you're dragging a front wheel, and you don't have to drag your foot perpendicular to the direction of travel. You can drag the front wheel in an arc more freely, and you can choose the angle at which your front wheel touches the ground. (If you have old wheels, the toe-in position is a good place for them, so you don't damage the good wheels.)

The advantage of the Toe-drag over the T-stop is that it only wears out one of your wheels, and more importantly, you have better control of steering while braking, and even if the front wheels are rolling while towing, that will still stop you. Toe-drag can stop you at fairly high speeds, but, because it uses only one front brake, it has a longer stopping distance than a foot brake or T-stop.

The wind and obstacle stops mentioned above are generally not very practical for me, and sliding on turf is even more of a deterrent, so it's basically the V-brake above, which basically applies.

1, four wheel skating how to brake

1.1, Z turn (Carving) - Although the Z turn can not make a complete stop, but the longboard. Although Z turns do not bring the board to a complete stop, they are still a good speed control technique. Players usually control their center of gravity with a Z-turn and usually make a big turn from one side of the road to the other.

1.2 Sliding - There are many different types of sliding, and it's one of the more difficult tricks to master, but it's also the most effective and safest way to stop the board.

1.3 Wind resistance - When the speed reaches about 40 kilometers per hour, stand up straight and spread your arms, which will increase the air resistance and slow down the board. However, the actual effect is related to the player's attire and the environment in which the board is played. It's not a very reliable way to slow down.

1.4 Footbraking - This is the simplest and most common deceleration technique. The advantage is that it is easy to learn, you only need to use your back foot to gently touch the ground, and parallel to the ground and the longboard, then bend your knees and slowly apply pressure to your back foot, so that the slowly increasing friction will keep the deceleration of the longboard within a manageable range.

2, what is skating

Skateboarding Skateboard program can be said to be the originator of the history of extreme sports, many of the extreme sports programs are extended by the skating program. 20 century 50's early 60's by the evolution of surfing skateboarding, and now has become the most on the planet. "Cool" sports. The main skating skills include: The AerialL (on the poles), The Invert (on the U-top), The Ollie (jumping with the board), which are arguably the most important skating maneuvers other than the flipper.

3. Types of skating

3.1, toy board: toy board refers to skating skates only, beginners can also use. Beginners should choose a flat skating site, skating should wear elbow pads, wrist pads, knee pads, helmets and other protective gear.

3.2, professional board: professional board, this is a real skater should recognize and familiar with your extreme career, from now on it as a partner.

Specifically divided into street style and U pool, highway style, hill descent style, the difference is not great, U pool board is wider, the bridge is softer, highway style board is very long (in fact, the road board has been developed independently of another sport, referred to as LongBoard), hill descent style has a higher bridge and inflatable tires.

The basic skills of roller skating

There are two ways to stand up and down roller skating: one is the left foot in front of the toes to the right, also known as the positive standing method; the other is the right foot in front of the toes to the left, also known as the reverse standing method. Most people skate in the former way. The techniques described later are based on this style. If you find this uncomfortable, you can also change direction and use the second way of standing.

1, preparation: two feet on the ground, roller skating flat on the ground in front of the feet. On the board: first put one foot on the front of the skate, the other foot is still on the ground.

2. Shift your center of gravity to the foot that is on the board, lean forward slightly, bend your knees, extend your arms, and keep your balance.

3, step on the ground foot gently stirrups the ground, and then received on the skate, placed on the back of the skate, at this time, the whole body and the skate will begin to slide forward.

Notes on playing roller skating

Playing roller skating has a certain degree of danger, the following six safety precautions for roller skating:

1, the wheel will be adjusted before use, so that it runs freely.

2, according to their own use of the lock nut to adjust the elasticity of the cushion.

3. Regularly oil the bearings to increase lubrication of the bearings and reduce the resistance to skidding.

4, beginners need the help of friends and relatives, in the inclined angle of the small slope skating, with the improvement of the technical level, and gradually switch to different slopes.

5, do not skate on wet or rough surfaces, when you want to jump off the skate, to see if you can hit the surrounding people or other objects.

6, if you need to replace the parts, the replacement parts should be the same specifications with the original parts.
