If there is no skating rink in your area there are other options. A smooth flat piece of pavement or sidewalk with a grassy area next to it is perfect as the grass will cushion any falls. Unused tennis courts and empty parking lots are also good choices. Grass is also good for walking practice if you are very new to in line roller skating.

If possible join a class for in line roller skating run by certified trainer.
