There's a thread on this in NSG and a cult but here ya go: First skates get K2 Varsity(s), they're cheap and don't suck. Then ride, a lot. You'll look like a dingus for a while until you learn to control your arms so suck it up. There's a million trick tips and edits so just google inline. Have, fun.

I started by waxing curbs at my local schools and stuff, and then moved up to  bigger ledges and handrails. you probably want to get to a point where you can do a couple tricks before you make an ass of yourself at a skatepark. If you're going to rollerblade in public at least be halfway decent at it.

It's going to feel like snowblades- like you have nothing to land on.
