Answer 3

you need to be able to push to the side and create forward motion.

start with your heels together, feet at a 90-degree angle. always keep your knees bent a little, the more the better.

push back with one skate (say the right) which will push you forward on the other one. all your weight should be on the left skate now, then bring your right back to meet the left, you don't need to put it down, and then step to the right, pushing to the side with the left, and going straight on the right. repeat

Answer 4

i'm supposing skate means inline skates...well the first time i tried out was when i was a small kid so getting it was not that hard. i'm also supposing that you'd rather self-learn than go for classes... you could try holding on to a railing or some other object thats tall enough so that you can get your balance...once you've got the balance its reali easy to start learning tricks...
