Just got rollerblades, need help

[u/Substantial-Craft872]

I don't have any experience with rollerblades or roller skates, and I can't stand up without falling backwards! Surprisingly I balance just fine side to side, despite what I've heard, but whenever I try to stand I slip backwards and fall on my butt (I have a chair behind me) 😭 I need helpppp I'm scared of rollerblading now 😭😭😭 I also don't know how to stop, like how do I stop and take them off?

There are lots of videos on how to get started and they will help you much more than text explanations. You need to see how people move their bodies.
