Roller blading will help to learn skiing more - two independant feet with using pressure on one or the other for balance.
Skateboarding, surfing, wakeboarding and windsurfing require balance over a single board keeping your center of balance over the board. These will help more when learning to snowboard.
But regardless, a good sense of balance will help. And snowboarding isn't that hard to learn the basics. I was going down intermediate runs on my third day. Getting REALLY good is a whole different matter!
Good Luck
Is learning to snowboard easier if I am already pretty good at roller blades?
Maybe a little. For the balance and center-of-gravity issues. And your familiarity with falling down.
Other than that, not so much, because you're going to use an EDGED board to carve your turns, etc. Skiing or surfing kinda teaches that aspect a lot better than rollerblading.
Good luck!
Reply:in short, no. you will still suck at first, but its not too hard to master easy hills after a few days.
Reply:The only similarity is balance. Thats about it! Snowboarding is nothing like rollerblading. First of all, you feet are locked in a snowboard, its all about turning on your edges of the board, not two feet on some wheels!!
Reply:Sorry but no. Pretty much a completely different type of movement. You'll have some extra balance training but other than that it's not going to make a difference. People think that skateboarding will help but even that is not going to make a big difference because you don't have a "base" and "edge" on a skateboard.
Don't worry though, you'll fall a lot the first couple of times but soon you'll get the hang of it and the first time you link a few turns down the hill you'll realize how much fun it can be.

What's a good way to earn some extra cash while on roller blades?
Extreme dog-walking.
What's a good way to earn some extra cash while on roller blades?
The fun way: roll down a large hill while passing out balloons to kids and they'll give you money, then watch and laugh as they fly away because they gave you $20 for about 500 balloons :D
The not fun way: Fall down the aforementioned hill and collect donations to pay for your hospital bill.
Reply:You could work at Sonics, some of the workers still skate around bringing food to your car. Or you could dress in drag and join a women's roller derby that would be fun, lol.
Reply:Haha I love That Gay Guy's answer.
Hmm...
You could do roller blade car washes.
Mmm wet Patrick!!
Reply:I dont know..but it sure must be a girl roller blading..lol
Reply:Depends. How short are your shortest shorts?

Where is the best place to go to get a set of roller blades?
What are you looking for?
I bought mine at Play it Again Sports. They were used and a bit dirty, but they were so much cheaper.
Target and Walmart carry them also if you are looking for something decent that is cheap. If you want something really good, try a sporting goods store.

14 weeks preg, no bump yet, can i go on my roller blades??
is it safe? if it is, at what stage of pregnancy is it best to avoid?
thanks
14 weeks preg, no bump yet, can i go on my roller blades??
Why are you asking here instead of talking with your doctor?
There are two things for her to consider.
Excercise - Inline skating is much lower impact than almost any other form of excercise. If you are allowed to walk, the excercise is probably within safe range.
Risk of accident - What happens if you trip. Do you have experiance falling so that you can tell your doctor the risk of landing on the baby?
Reply:well i was 3 mouth gone and i went on mine right until the end and ride a bike so i cant see why you cant, as long as you dint go silly on them i would go on them, i wasn't told by mu midwife 2 stop , excises thy say is good for you so if people are saying it will harm the baby that's wrong , excises is good for you and the baby , so forget what the others are saying just be care full, if your going 2 lose a baby you will .[NOT] cos your on roller blades, so you go and in joy what you like doing. but as i said be care full, good luck with baby.x
Reply:NO,NO,NO never go on roller blades pregnant. Your stage of pregnancy is the greatest stage for miscarriage. You need to read some books about pregnancy...may I recommend the book "What to expect when you're expecting" Most doctors recommend this book. My daughters Dr. did, and it has everything you need to know for every stage of pregnancy. Take care of yourself and your baby, and good luck to you!
Reply:I dont think it would be a good idea to go on your roller blades. You may fall or summing and injure yourself and your growing baby. I think it is best to avoid rollerblading at all part of pregnancy..wait untill after you have the baby to start again...
good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
Reply:if youre really good then it's okay but if youre so-so at it then dont
and actualyl after 13 weeks the uterus becomes more outward (though you may not have a bump yet) so more prone to injuries which could affect the pregnancy and thus the baby.
Reply:you could still fall and hurt yourself or baby, even though there is no bump. i don't think it is safe to do while you are pregnant, sorry. ask your doc though they would know what is best, i can tell you my doc would say absolutely not to roller blading. take care :)
Reply:i wouldn't it doesn't matter if you are showing or not you are still preg and don't want to risk falling and getting injured or injuring your baby.
Reply:i suggest not, pregnancy alters the tilt of your pelvis, also if you fall over you risk losing your baby
x
Reply:Ummmm I probably wouldn't - if you had a hard fall you could lose the baby. Walk the route instead and drink lots of water on the way.
Reply:I myself would hate to see someone that was pregnant get on roller blades , best be safe rather than sorry ,
Reply:Suppose it depends on how good you are on them! lol. Is it really worth that potential dodgy fall though? Don't think so myself.
Reply:Better not... never do anything that can potentially harm your baby even from the first trimester I'd say!
Reply:you may fall and damage you new baby, why take unecessary risk
Reply:KEEP OFF the roller blades,and stick to your SCOOTER!LOL
Reply:prob best you don't as you may fall and hurt your self and the baby
Reply:I hope you're joking.....
Reply:NO!!!
Reply:how old are you???
Reply:dont do it!!! u cud fall and kill the baby

There are two allen wrench screws on the back of my roller blades. Are they for adjusting them? If so how?
yes they are there for you to adjust the wheels and to replace them when they get worn out.........don't worry now if they are new you won't have to replace them any time soon.......

When Jesus was a kid did he like skate boards or roller blades?
No that's a silly question , everyone knows he was into soul music.
He had a wooden radio but it woodn't work.

those shoes with the little wheels in them
but never ever ever crocs
Reply:Skateboards, I think.
He just strikes me as that kind of guy.
Reply:Neither. He preferred to stay in the stable at the inn with his Nintendo DS - I hear Animal Crossing was his favourite game.
Reply:Dude had a hoverboard...
Reply:Oh, please! Like ball bearings had been invented when Jesus was little!
Reply:there were no skateboards or roller blades back then
Reply:Neither was invented yet. But it is suggested that he enjoyed hover crafts that were small enough to attach to parts of his body for concealed floatational devices.
Reply:seek and ye shall find
Reply:Homeboy jetski'd everywhere.
Reply:I don't think they had things like that but I do know that they have found evidence that children in the biblical era had sling shots and played games such as; leaping, climbing, racing, swimming, possibly playing team games. Wrestling was a popular game amongst boy children in Nazareth also. Variations of football, baseball, soccer..etc... all kinds of games! Tag, Dodge ball..etc... Jesus was probably just like the other children around him and played right along with them.
An interesting passage of the bible is:
If we read the eleventh chapter of Matthew, Jesus was talking about dialog between two groups of children:
"We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn."(Matt.11:16-17).
This is in reference to Jesus depicting the wedding game' and the funeral game' played by the children of his time. There were some children who wanted to play the wedding game in which one team played flutes, and the other team danced. But the other team did not like this proposal. So the former team suggested the funeral game in which one team wailed and the others mourned. This similitude is taken from the common custom among the Jewish children, who imitated the fashions of grown people at their marriages and funerals.
Just like children today would have played doctor, or had tea parties, or had a mock wedding,or played house, Jewish children in biblical times did the same thing!
