but hes still only beginning.I am currently teaching my son how to rollerblade. Kids "get it" so fast.. Every weekend (usually Sunday), we practice along this stretch of pathway:

Its great, very flat, and no cars. Very good for trying stuff out, at any speed you like. If you lose control, you can ditch into the corn field to the left side.

I have been skating since I was small also. Not a professional or anything, but can teach the things you are asking for. I taught my wife too, and she is pretty good, if I do say so myself

If you dont mind me teaching my son at the same time, you are welcome to join, we can set a time by PM if you like. Most Sundays for a couple of hours I'm there - until the weather cools down I guess!
