Can you fall???  \n\nThis is the best lesson you can learn!!!  Put your padding on <wrist guards, and knee pads are good>, and practice falling down.  Do this at least 100 times.  After the first 10 times, you'll get board and find creative ways to fall.  Once you've mastered falling, you can try anything without fear, and then you approach your new stunts <going backwards> just like you did with falling.\n\nBasically, you're screen name says it all ... it all came tumbling down!!!

You need better bearings.  ABEC rates there skate (roller-hockey) bearings from 1-9, 1 being the worst, 9 being the best. As far as I have seen, RB and SB bearings are the same size, I could be wrong though.\n\nAs a general rule of thumb, the more expensive, the better.\n\nIn other words, you're not gonna find them at Dick's or Wal-Mart, so the price will be genuine.\n\nGo to a hockey store and ask the guy working there.  Chance are he's not gonna be the shlub you'll find at Dick's durin the holiday season, he'll actually know what he's talking about.\n\nEither that or..... google it.... shhhhhhhhh..... you'll find what you need.

I am sure you can gain some information and maybe make contacts with throwers... There is a section on bladeforums.com for people interested in knife throwing.

Here is a link to our local skating rink.  Maybe that can start your search.  Because you didn't give a location, it is kind of hard to help you out.

Capoeira Candeias Atlanta. The Instructor is a friend of mine that has been teaching there for some years since he came from Brazil.\nHis cell phone is either (678) 508-3085 or (404) 936-6131 (I forgot which one is the new one, so try calling both numbers). You can call him Canarinho or Rodolfo. He is teaching in one of the Gold's gyms.

You may want to look up skateboarding web sites (some has tutorial videos on how to do flips, ollie, etc.) or join a Yahoo group (if there is one).  Visit a local bookstore and pull up anything relating to skateboarding... and magazines (i.e. Transworld, Switch, Slap, etc.)  I usually try to find a copy of dvds (skateboarding competition) and watch the pros and imitate them.  Visit events if there is one.  Your best bet at doing something good... well... one could always say practice makes perfect.  Good luck!

Things have changed a lot since rollerblades were first introduced, but I still only use the first pair I ever owned!\n\nI bought a pair of Real RollerBlades.  Now they have a lot of knockoffs, real cheap, and don't roll very well.\n\nI recommend laceup, if you can find them, because they are much more flexible as to how tight you want them to be.  And they hold to your foot from the bottom of the laces up.  Some are just buckles in three places, but they can be too loose in places.\n\nFirst, practice with protective gear.  Especially wrist guards and elbow guards.  I've seen people wear knee pads, but I've never managed to fall forward on rollerblades, so I don't wear them!\n\nI have broken my wrists, so I especially recommend the wrist guards.  If you are VERY clumsy, a helmet might be a good idea, too.\n\nSecondly, just practice rolling back and forth in a small area, until you are fairly certain you can stay vertical.  The movement on rollerblades is a bit different than skates, but you are going to push off with one foot while rolling on the other, just like skates.  \n\nOne very big difference:  With skates, the balance is more precarious from front to back.  With Blades, the tendancy is to tip from side to side.  \n\nBe prepared for a couple falls, but don't let that bother you or get you down. Just brush yourself off, and get back up!\n\nAs for the very best blades?  Go to a sporting goods store (ie NOT one of those super size discount stores) and try on all the different styles you might like.  Pay attention to comfort, just like buying shoes.  If they hurt your feet or are too hard to put on in the store, you won't be happy with them, and won't want to skate, when you get home.\n\nHappy shopping and have a great time.

a lot of computer stores have intro courses on everything from the internet to digital photography. i would suggest making a few phone calls and finding one. they are inexpensive and they are a great tool for a novice and usually run for a few hours on one evening.

Try putting an advertisement in your local newspaper.  If you're willing to train.... I'm sure you can find someone willing to learn pretty easily.

This is your lucky day!  I used to teach skating lessons back when people skated on 4 wheelers.  I'm assuming they still come equipped with a rubber toe stop on the front.  The first thing to learn is to drag the toe stop behind you while skating forward and slowly bring yourself to a stop.  Once you've mastered this, you'll realize how geeky it is.\n\nThe next thing to do is to learn how to skate backwards.  Starting at a standstill with your toes pointed together, force your feet apart in an outwards motion and then bring them back together again.  Sort of like doing an hourglass over and over.  This will get you going in a backwards motion.  To stop, simply lean forward on both toe stops.  It's fun when you're going fast.\n\nAs you become better, you'll learn how to stop without the toe stops when you're skating forward.  One way is to drag one foot behind the other in a sort of t-shape.  So instead of dragging the toe stop, you're dragging the inner front and rear wheel of the skate that's stopping you.\n\nEventually, you'll learn how to stop much the way skiers do, by turning both skates sideways and catching the inner edge of the right foot and the outer edge of the left foot at the same time.

Go to the ice rink by you and put up flyers for what you're looking for. The right people will want to donate the skates to you out of passion and not money if that's what your concern is. Don't worry, it's all about passion. Those who have the right heart will come. Flyer up and get out the word to people. Don't Give Up! =>
