Why Every Kid Needs To Know Skating?

Thank God, for roller skates-the one good reason why children of all age groups still zip down gravel paths. Otherwise, they would be closeted indoors with a silly video game, racing street cars in virtual alleys! Skating in the physical world, zooming around with hands in the air screaming, 'look ma, no hands' is a damn good sight for new parents.Kids skate to enjoy the freedom of being on wheels on their own. It isn't even surprising that young champs have invigorated the business to produce better roller skates. Now, if skating parties are organised, championships are announced, with arrivals of weekend competitions, there is every reason why every kid needs to be more familiar with the roller skates. What's more, with exciting acrobatic feats, new talents being honed, skating has become a hot favourite with girls and boys for health and fitness values. For girls, the thrill of wearing ballet costumes, smart fishnet stockings, and impressing a teenage fan crowd is a fantastic self confidence booster. For power hungry and need-to-impress-girls boys, it is an opportunity to get more dates!

Are you ready for the grand roller derby?

What should kids know about skating and not skidding in embarrassment? Honey, first things first- Get the best pair of roller skates before buying the costume for it this summer. Rollers don't come cheap. Along with pocket money ask parents to chip in too. Get a learners' license! No, that's a joke, you don't need one but you need a fantastic pair of skates. And what do they teach in the first few days-Learn how to fall! The idea is to remove the fear of falling unexpectedly. The fall makes skating smoother. If you skate with the intention of entering a championship, understand the pitfalls. You need to strengthen the muscles to get up and skate as though nothing happened. Apart from strength, nimble movements to skate again come with serious practice. Be more flexible in approach.

Skating is a good exercise to keep in shape. Learning skating in a rink to reduce the injury factor. Skating on roads, with people and vehicles around, results in accidents. Invest in accessorises like helmets, knee and wrist pads to reduce the impact of injury. Wear good pair of shoes. And girls, wear shorts under the skirts! You definitely don't want to die of embarrassment, without even one date this summer!
