>>1355845Thanks, man.
I got these Rollerblade Zetrablades (
https://www.rollerblade.com/products/zetrablade/) at my local sporting goods store. Prob not the best, but they are fine for me right now.
I wear a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist pads.
Yeah, I fell for the first time yesterday when I went to the skate park and tried jumping onto a small, raised concrete "table" thing. Afterward, I took a more methodical approach and kept ramping up my practice runs on it until I could do it without problem. I think I didn't keep my body low enough.
Is keeping your hands by your knees when falling meant to spread the contact force over your large, central mass instead of your extremities so that you don't, say, break your arm?
Also, how long have you been skating?
