Something that’s going to spice up your roller skating skills is learning new techniques. Here are some of the best (and most fun) tricks you have to try out while roller skating in Dubai:

Salchow: One of the most intriguing techniques in roller skating there is! While some techniques such as Spread Eagle are more commonly known to all, it may not really be the thrilling adrenaline rush that some of the roller skating lovers are looking for – especially those looking for more adventure. In this technique, you need to skate backwards first. Secondly, ensure you’re ready to do a twist (not as easy as you think – you have to do it one-legged!). Once you have your one-leg twist down, get ready for a swift jump. And lastly, put them all together so you land on the opposite foot than you started on.

Spinning: One of the most fun skating tricks is spinning which is meant for only those who are comfortable on wheels. Spinning involves a spin in any direction and a switch from mid spin from one direction to the other. Performing this trick might take practice but the steps involved are simple. Start by moving to the middle of the rink so that we don’t mistakenly bump into a fellow skater. Next, bend your knees a little and keep the feet shoulder length away. Simultaneously, spread the arms by making a right angle. Keeping the arms tucked to the body slowly rotate them to one side. After doing this we will see the skates align by us pulling the skate backward and pushing the feet farther. Once you gain momentum lift your body, put your skates together to create a powerbox pose for a perfect spin. To get the hang of it, you can take several glides down to switch the directions. In order to stop the spin, you can straighten your feet.

Wheeler: This trick is of a great importance if you want to work on balance. You can execute this trick by either using the front wheels or the rear ones of both the skates. Ultimately, we just have to use only 2 wheels of each skate. Firstly, start by rolling one foot flat on the ground and the other foot rolling behind on the two wheels. Next, push off the flat foot with the weight on the back wheels. While doing the same, ensure you maintain the balance. And lastly, remember to always keep one foot on the ground throughout. You can increase the momentum by moving the heels from one side to the other.

Moonwalking: Without a doubt, Michael Jackson is the first name that comes to our minds when we hear moonwalking. Recall how he did his famous moves and keep that picture in your head. Because you’re picturing it, you’ll know how the series of moves go for this. Get ready to do it, just spinning on wheels! Roller skating in Dubai is all about confidence – so make sure you take a deep breath and gather all yourself together and channel the inner rockstar in you for this! Firstly, practice roller skating backwards. Secondly, keep one of your roller skates on the ground while the other one points downward. Make sure you put your toe stopper to good use for this bit to help you keep your stance. Thirdly, do the exact opposite! Instead of holding your place, push the toe stop and start gliding your other roller skate. And lastly, practice this well enough to start alternating this move between your two skates. Boom – you’ve now mastered moonwalking…but on wheels!

Skating on One Foot: Roller skating in Dubai can be an exceptionally fun activity. Especially if you’re looking for adrenaline rushes, but want to stick to something simple, then this trick is for you. Although it is quite simple, there is definitely another aspect that require a lot of practice. And that aspect lies in the very name of the trick – standing on one foot! Finding your balance on your one foot alone can be harder than you think. In case you think it’s a little dangerous start off, you can always start with smaller durations of the pose.
