Inline skating is a little like skiing, a lot like ice skating, and fortunately a lot easier than both to learn.
Some people are happy just being able to stand up on the skates.
Others, especially athletes, can turn and brake after the first day. Inline skating utilizes skills very similar to ice skating and skiing, so if you have some experience in those sports, learning is a breeze. Even without that, you can expect to have fun the first time out. Kay starts all his students with a SLAP talk. It s not a form of abuse, but rather a policy of being Smart, Legal, Alert and Polite while skating.
