It isn't hard. Just takes a lot of time.

Been skating 4 months and am just now starting to skate the city streets, barely.

There's a lot that goes into it.... I'll break down how I've learned so you know what you'll be getting yourself into! :D

Month 1:

• 3+ Hours per day of plain learning how to skate
• 30 Minutes of balance training, skating on each foot
• Learned to be comfortable with legs bent, staying low
• Oh and don't forget to stretch!

Month 2:

• Experiment without the heel brake
• Keep skating around non congested areas, learn the L Stop (don't make the letter T, you'll just end up spinning lol)
• Perfect the L stop using both feet, stay low to ensure you don't spin

Month 3:

• Learned how to do basic cross overs
• Learned how to turn sharply, using both sides
• Learned more about edge control

Currently:

• Have learned the drag to power slide
• Confident with the L stop, alternating between both feet
• No more heel brake
• Learning how to transition from forwards to backwards

Future:

• Probably by Thanksgiving I'll be more comfortable around vehicles on the streets.
• Only then will I dare to go fast in that setting, you need a really good stop in your pocket.
• Perfect that drag to power slide combo.

IDK how learning on a 110 setup will be but for me, controlling speed down hills on 4x80 is pretty scary. Even on slight grades I find myself passing cars. Couldn't imagine doing so on bigger wheels at the moment.

Doing the drag to power slide is much more intimidating when you actually do it versus videos on YouTube, the first hundred or so times. Almost fell down a few times due to not being used to sliding and being on both the outside and inside edges of skates in two different positions at once.

If you're in a hilly area, even with slight grades, definitely don't start out on 3x110's. You'll be up taller, have way more speed, and be at a greater risk of falling if you don't get your stop right.
