Any tips?
We've got her a basic pair of in-line skates for her Birthday in a Weeks time as she's been pestering for some for a long time.
She'll be 7, but she has a fairly poor sense of balance and is very nervous of things that aren't stable, if that makes sense.
I've had a Google, and there seems to be plenty of advice out there but as someone who's only life-long skating experience involved more time violently slamming into ice than wobbling round on it as a kid, I quickly lost interest and don't know what advice is the best.
Is there a good website someone could point me too that offeres sound advice I can pass on to her?
Also, she has a full set of pads for her bike which she can wear, and a helmet but doesn't have any gloves. I couldn't find any skating type gloves in Decathlon, surely she'll need some as her hands will go down first in a fall or am I just being paranoid? any recommendations?
