However long you have been roller skating and whatever your skill level if you have a new pair of skates you need to take time to get accustomed to them. Roller skates all have different feels and even an experienced skater will need to adjust to the differences.
On a smooth surface away from traffic, pedestrians and obstacles practise forward skating, stopping and turning. Keep away from even small hills until you are experienced as they can drastically increase your speed. Keep away from traffic as it is very dangerous to skate around vehicles unless you are very experienced and have complete control.
Wear correct gear for protection including helmets, knee pads, wrist guards and elbow pads. Even more experienced skaters should protect themselves as falling on cement at speed can do a great deal of damage. Wearing proper protection also allows you to experiment without fearing serious injury.
For your first time skating don’t worry if it takes some time to get the hang of it. Relax and don’t lock your knees and practise until you are skating smoothly.
