It's not so bad, once you get the hang of it. If this were ice, we could get you a chair to help you keep your balance, but that's a bit harder to do with a roller rink, I'm afraid.

Try to keep your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees, and lean forward a little into a comfortable squatting position. Balance is key, and that should help keep you from toppling over.
