i strapped them on last week for the first time ever seriously. after 2 days i could get some 450's off my rail and did a 5 down my front steps. i play hockey so the riding isnt hard, and cuz of skiing i knew how to spin/grind. you shouldnt have a problem, as long as your not retarded.
oh yeah, searchbar nub

not many are gonna hate on you, i find a lot more skiers blade now. but anyways, you need to have good balance when you blade, when i first started off, i would just practice new stalls on curbs and just get the feel of them. then, make a small rail and start doing the stalls but when youre moving. then just work up from there.

and what skates do you have?

^ yeah really... but rollerblading will help your skiing alot... just practice stalling all the diff grinds and stuff on a set of stairs... once getting them on the lower steps try jumping higher up this will help u get the feeling of locking on after a large leap... then take it to a low rail. and the grinds that are like ski grinds... like reg fronsides and backsides.. royales and farfs feel just like skiing...

they're not hard. I rollerbladed for a while, and then got inlines and it only took me a little while to figure out what to do. I recommend learning on one of those little blue X-factor rails or whatever. They're small and round and easy to use.
