How to Turn on In-Line Skates :

For those just starting out on in-line skates, learn to turn gently at first. Here's the basic turning technique:

1. Begin rolling forward on your in-line skates by pushing off on one skate and then the other.

2. Hold your arms out for balance as necessary. Bend your knees.

3. Stagger your skates, with the inside skate slightly forward.

4. Lean in the direction you wish to turn. Try to lean just the lower half of your body.

5. Take small steps with your inside skate, then push off a little with your outside skate to aid your turn.
