You can do it.\nBut if you neever have is better to have someone with you!\nYou know how did I learned? Rollerblading on a carpet!!!\nThe fabric doesn't make the wheels turn much, so it's great to practice your balance with the blades. Try it!\nThe thicker and longer the hair is in the fabric, the harder it would be for the wheels to turn. If you have different kinds of carpets, you can go from thicker and longer to shorter and the on to the floor.\nYou'll see how great it works!\n\nGoodluck!

Maybe you prefer to learn by yourself rather than by following others : ) .

The best way is to sign up for a tumbling class.  When you work with someone who has experience and training to teach backflips, it's a much better experience than trying to teach yourself and you'll end up with a nicer backflip.  \n\nComing in a distant second is to get a buddy to help you learn a backflip.  It's more dangerous this way but a lot of things in life are.  \n\nThis website has some tips on learning gymnastics skills.

Whatever you do, don't buy cheap skates at WalMart or stores like that.  They will not be comfortable and will not last.  There are several variations of skates out there now with all kinds of different features.  For a beginner, I would probably recommend that you start off with a skate by Razors or Rollerblade.  Both have pretty low starting price points so you're not spending $300 right off the bat.  Both are also very comfortable and have quite a bit of grind space on the souls.  Some of the models you may want to check out are:\n\nRazors Cult\nRollerblade Downtown\nRollerblade Alpha\n\nThere are tons more skates out there, but those are quality skates you can get for under $200.  I've listed some online skate shops below you may want to check out.\n\nGood luck and I hope you stick with it!  And let me know if you have any questions.

I taught ballroom dancing.\nI truly believe anyone can learn to dance.\nIt is very fun once you catch on. \nSome moves may be awkward at first, simply because you have never done them before , but a teacher will show you how to do the move correctly.\nYou then need to practice at home even if it is simply going over the moves you learned by yourself. \nFind an entertainment section of your newspaper, most larger cities have events occasionally open to the public for a fee to the dance some with partners some bring a partner , but it would be great practice. Ballroom is also many different ages. If you take lessons you may ask the instructor if they currently have anyone your age taking lessons who may need a partner to practice with. \nGood luck and have fun !

some people learn to skate real good real quick. some take forever to learn how to even ollie. most pros you see today have been skatin since the 80's or easrly 90's. it can take a long time to get good. some pick it up real quick like sheckler or penny. it all depends on how much you want it. if you really want to land something commit. you always got to be tryin to get better. if you dont then youll never get good enough to be recognized by corporations. if you really want to try and get sponsered send a sponser me tape to your local skate shop. who knows you might get on a team.

start out skating backward, lift up your left foot a little bit, raising it behind you,\nTurn a little bit, followign your left shoulder and hop onto your left foot.\nTake it slow, small, low foot work and keep practicing.\nOr- if there are little girls skating around the rink that look like they know how, ASK them. They would think it was pretty cool to be able to teach someone older

You could practice on your own but you will need an instructor to really correct things.  A good website is www.kendo-world.com You can find a lot of info there as well as some videos!

Well . . . first, get a really good handheld video camera. Find a few places to skate Then the best way is to tape your friends naturally. You get problems if you start controlling moves. You'll be amazed of the stuff you get when you let your skating flow. It may take hours of filming. When you get enough of what you want, use a computer program, like MovieMaker, and put it all together. Be careful. :)

all you can really do is run more or you could start rollerblading for a while. even though i wasnt trying to improve my running time it did. maybe you should try that and running so you can get your leg muscles stronger. or try to breathe more efficiently when you are running. also i used to run on the ball of my foot. but now I dont and I run faster. try making your steps more sspringy. you will definitly feel like your running faster. thats all I can think of. i hope you get faster :D

walking barefoot in sand is a very good for starting out.  also standing flat footed, and rolling up onto your tiptoes then back to the flat footed stance is a good work out.  After doing that for a few months take up roller skating... after roller skating for a few months try roller blading... then your ankles will bee like the terminators.

First you should get on your skateboard with one foot on it.Then you should try pushing yourself slowly.But I reccomend you do it with an adult or a friend who knows how to skate.You should wear pads.You can hire someone if you know someone you can hire.Or just go online.To do a manual you have to ride slowly if you are a begginner.Then you lean back on your tail a little and try to keep your balance.I suggest you stay still on your skatboard on flat ground and lean back and try to balance.When you get the hang of manualing you should start to manual while moving.

the easiest thing is get a skateboard and practice, make sure you give a little bit of oomph while you skate, and don't go too fast though!

No clue. I don't think you can. You can always bring it into a  skate shop and have them look at it and offer any advice.
