People learn to rollerblade in several different ways, and for varied reasons. Generally, learner skaters are divided into watches, doers, and analysers. These groups are quantitatively divided into people who are learning to skate for personal achievement, fitness fanatics, or because their mates, partner or colleague dragged them along. What has this got to do with anything you may be wondering, well the point is that this page is dedicated to helping you find the best ways for learning to skate.

A lot of very good rollerbladers have learnt to skate from watching other more skilled rollerbladers showing off, then try replicate the trick they observed. These people have loads of time on theirs hands and will try and try till the cows come home. They are easily spotted as their skates tend to be a little old and been around the block a few times and they have pink scars on their elbows and knees.

People who enter the group lessons tend to be either very sociable (the ones who dragged their friend screaming and kicking), or conversely complete hermits who hope to find personal achievement. These lessons are less personal but tend to be rather fun or nightmarishly dull!

Hiring a personal instructor for a small group of people can work out to be a cheap option. Not so cheap for 1 on 1 instruction. This is option that is very flexible. You are sure to move at a pace that fits you or your small group.
