Quick basics:
If you have a rug or carpet (so that you don't roll away) you can start inside.
First start on a carpet or on grass.
Use a helmet and wrist guards. They prevent a lot of pain. If you are not so sure about yourself, add knee pads and elbow pads.
Ready position:
feet almost shoulder width apart
knees slightly bent
waist slightly bent
arms bet at elbow so hands are forward
This gives you a lot of balance and the ability to shift your weight to keep from falling.
Walk forward with toes pointed slightly outwards.
Start to slide forward after each step.
Stopping position:
start in the ready position but bring your feet a little closer to each other.
slide your braking foot forward - as far as you can.
lift the toe up on the braking skate until the brake touches the ground
put more pressure on the heel with the brake
There are a few basic lessons on the Rollerblade USA web page (www.rollerblade.com/dynamic/home.php?restart=1&siteVersion=2).
the link to the lessons is in the bottom left corner of the page.
Check with a web search if you have a local inline skating club. You may be able to get a beginners lesson from them. Most of them are not in the phone book but have a web site.

Extreme Sports
Extreme Sports
Nobody can deny that the newest crazes with kids are the extreme sports. The phenomenon has reached all the way down to kids as young as early elementary school. Is it a problem, or is it a blessing? Much of it depends on whom you ask, but a deeper look will shed a little bit of light on the entire matter.
Why Choose Extreme Sports
The TV in your living room is starting to collect dust and burn less electricity while the video game system sits in the corner doing the same. It is exactly what you may have wanted all along, but it does mean that your child is likely deep into the fun that is extreme sports. Don't let the name fool you, extreme sports can be used to describe a number of activities, but for your child, it is likely BMX biking, skateboarding, or trickblading (tricks on roller blades specially made for the job).
Trickblader
Essentially, a trickblader will use a special type of roller blades that have smaller thicker wheels, wider boots, and what is called a grind plate that allows them to slide across surfaces when so desired. The blades are made so that participants may perform many of the same tricks that skateboarders do, only now you will see them on roller blades, more or less.
BMX Bikers
BMX bikers are a different sport altogether. These are special bikes with pegs on the wheels for tricks, pads on the places where impact will most likely occur, and no front brakes. The bike is made for racing and tricks, but primarily to be used on dirt or certain types of urban setups.
Skateboarding
As for skateboarding, it is the sport probably most closely linked to extreme sports. For quite some time now, boarders have been hitting half pipes, grinding, and grabbing their board. Though you may associate the sport as a boy sport, many more girls are starting to get involved in these extreme sports and are having a great deal of success along the way.
Extreme Sports Advise
Go watch your kid working on his new extreme sports might just scare you. The first time you see your child "getting air" off of a ramp or pipe, you will be clinching with each landing. The important thing, though, is just to make sure they have the right equipment and they are as safe as with any other sport. In fact, one national safety organization performed a study and found that more injuries per participant occur in hockey, football, basketball, and soccer than in skateboarding. So you can breathe a little easier.
One important thing you can do is to make sure your child is wearing the right kind of safety equipment. Helmets, elbow pads, and kneepads are musts for the sake of safety. Most skate parks, in fact, will require kids to wear such protection before they are allowed to ride on the property. Falls are a part of the sport, but with proper protection your child will be in no more danger than on the football field or basketball court.
One problem that extreme sport kids have is finding a place to practice their new love. Many parks no longer allow extreme sports in the area, but the children need places to jump, grind, and try out new tricks. One solution that many cities have adopted is to erect extreme sport skate parks. In these facilities, ramps, half pipes, and even stairs and rails are provided so that kids can jump, grind, and get air all they want in an area free of traffic and pedestrians. This makes it safer, and in many ways more fun for the kids overall.
Summary
Future of Extreme sports are the wave of the future. Though you may not always understand these new sports your kids are into, they are still active and healthy sports. Competition is alive, but they may be perfected without 9 others or even one other kid around. A trip to the skate park alone can end in the perfection of new trick or technique. The idea is to just support your kids and allow them to compete how they want to. Get them the right safety gear and the right facilities and before you know it you may just have a world -class competitor on your hands.
