Next, find your balance on your rollerblades.
Before you hit the pavement, wear your pair on a high-friction surface like grass or carpet, and practice getting into a good “ready position,” Fondran says. In other words, lift your chest, engage your core, and sink down so that your center of gravity is low. Make sure your shoulders are slightly in front of your hips. This will help you balance, since your weight will naturally be in your heels.
Side note: It’s also a good idea to practice the stages of stopping and turning on a flat surface before you head out, according to Fondran. (More on those crucial skills later.)

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper told CNN Wednesday that panic buying caused a gas supply problem in his state.
With an estimated 70% of Charlotte’s gas stations out of fuel, and price gouging complaints piling up across the state, Cooper told CNN s Jake Tapper that they are working on multiple fronts to mitigate the problems at-hand.
“I want this gas supply problem fixed as quickly as possible, and we are working with the local and federal officials, and the company to get that done. I have declared a state of emergency which would allow the transportation waivers for more trucks and heavier trucks to come into the state to bring gas, and we have a waiver from the EPA to increase the amount of fuel coming in,” Cooper said.
Smoke alarm manufacturer Kidde has recalled as many as 226,000 smoke and carbon monoxide detectors after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said they could possibly fail at alerting consumers of threats.
