Regarding jumping it is really important to place emphasis on bringing the knees up, and making sure that you don't throw your elbows back. It is also easier jumping and landing in a slight scissor position which makes it more difficult to fall back. It goes without saying that you should wear a helmet which is done up properly so that in the event you fall back you'll have some protection for your head! Don't be afraid to practice jumping on a grass surface initially and remember not to throw your elbows behind!

Jumping: Rollerblading Tips & Techniques: Free Online Rollerblading Video

Hey guys Adam Silverstein here again on behalf of Expertvillage.com. Now in this next clip I am going to show you guys how to jump. This is a technique that can come in handy for beginners or advanced rollerbladers. As a beginner it can come in handy for recreation or for avoiding certain obstacles that may get in your way. Now the biggest part about jumping is remembering to keep your feet together. You are going to bend your knees, only thing you are suctioning down to the ground. Once you get down real low, you are going to push off from just like you would with your feet unlike your shoes or anything and bring your feet up under you. Now watch we demonstrate, I am going to push off keeping my feet together, bend my knees bring my feet under in. Oh, yeah, and you guys try it at home and watch me do it once more time. Get some speed, knees bent with both feet up together jump. Yeah.
