In-line skates: the mechanical banana skin
Article Abstract:
In-line skating can initially appear easy, and the novice becomes confident quite quickly. However, it can prove very difficult to stop or to change direction. It is worth practising on a dry patch of grass before trying to skate on tarmac. Beginners will need to accept that they will probably fall over many times. However, this can be the cause of considerable amusement. Once you have become more proficient, in-line skating is exhilarating and an excellent form of exercise.
