Kowloon Bay Area....any place for novice to skate?

hktn

I tried the basketball courts / soccer field near the athletics field but rollerblades are not allow. Any suitable place for novice skating around that area? Must be within walking distance from Kowloon Bay MTR. Thank you.

Are you living around Kowloon Bay?? so want to find a rink close?? But i really tell you, no skate rink around there~ you can consider Wong Tai Shin or Kwong Tong skate rink(you can find the detail in www.hkssg.org website), that is design for skating, also suitable place for novice. For me, i am living in Sheung shui, also take 1 hour come out to practice... if you real want to skate, don't give any excuse for yourself. i don't know your background, so just can tell you a saw, the suggestion is: in novice need learn most correct skill, is really hard to improve later if you get a wrong way form start. take a course or ask some pro-player is a good choose for you.

Thank you for the reply. I don't live at Kowloon Bay, but I visit that place every week and have about 1.5 hours free there for "kill time". I figure may as well make use of the time to learn rollerblade, its a lot better than walking aimlessly around Tact Fok shopping center. Unfortunately, there is not enough time to go anywhere outside the Kowloon Bay area. Since writing the post, I have "discovered" that there is a bicycle track close to the basketball courts previously mention. I will try there this week, hope I won't get thrown out this time. Lessons? Yes, will do sometime. At this stage, I just want to make sure I can do really simple things, such as stand up, skate forward, stop, etc. So far so good.

OIC, some suggestion more~ bicycle track i think just for fun is ok, a square or circle area is better~ for me in novice, i practice in basketball courts. and, stand up, skate forward, stop... really is a simple thing, every one can do it within take a lesson(ask friend), but how do you know it is right?! Skate is really dangerous without knowledge, (i just worry someone get "hurt" in roller sport) PLS skate with "Full Set Protect Gear" [ Last edited by 渝泯 on 2007-5-24 at 02:15 AM ]
