@@chanceflores1786 Sure! I was skating on a quite flat sidewalk. I started slowing down to turn around, which made me more vulnerable to small obstacles. My wheels got slightly stuck on a crack or a twig and stopped cooperating ( kinda stopped and stopped moving in the correct direction ). I started wobbling and fell back. To avoid hitting my head, I tried to save myself by falling on an arm ( had full armor, so my wrist was unharmed but the impact went up to the forearm ). So I fell down, hand 90° on the ground & heard a crack. I recommend practicing falls on grass to learn to properly land!

@swaggylovesyou Жыл бұрын
It shouldn't be a question of how easy it is to skate, it should be fitting to your interest. Do you like skating indoors? Where it is free and the ground is smooth, music playing and you're free to groove as much as you like? Try quad skates. Do you like outdoor skating? Where you can go as far as you can possibly go, as fast as you please, all the while enjoying the outdoors? Try inlines. This doesn't mean you cant use inlines in a indoor rink and this doesn't mean you cant use quads outdoors, but it purely comes down to preference and style. Try both and see what you like more, its different for everybody and no matter what, you will fall and there is no way to circumvent that unless you dont try to skate at all. Happy skating!
