Can You See Your Inline Skates?

New skaters usually have a hard time determining whether their weight is over their skates, or if their knees are bent enough to get good side push and turn on the cruise control.

Finding a good posture baseline or stance is as easy as glancing down to see your own knees. If your inline skates are hidden by your knees, your knees are bent enough to dig in and go for a good ride. Once you establish that the knees are doing the right thing, focus on where you are going, because that is where your skates will take you.
