you should not lean forwards OR backwards! You should not put hands on your knees if falling! When skating ur head should in general be above your feet (weight over standing foot)... if falling hands should go out to break fall... I'm a skating coach, please post any skating tip requests on my blog at www.skategreat.c o.uk

(Music playing)

When you first start skating, what you have to do is you have to take time in your steps, back and forth. And the important thing to do is, remember, you got to lean forward not lean back because if you lean back; you are going to hit your head and fall on your head.

The important thing to know is when you feel like you are going to fall; you got to put your hands on your knees to catch your balance.
