Hey, just started skating as it’s a amazing way to get around, and was wondering if you have any tips on how to get used to going fast without the fear of falling off? Thank you x

It takes practice!! Take some time to just go & skate for practice rather than for transportation. Start pushing harder/doing more pushes on a long stretch of road or sidewalk. You could even find a gradual downhill slope, a super long sidewalk and feel the adrenaline rush if you’re into that! If you can feel yourself losing balance or about to fall, do a squat/crouch lower to the ground, it will ease the impact of hitting the ground. The higher up you fall, the harder it hurts. There’s really no way to not fear over it if you dont practice gaining familiarity with speed! Good luck!!
