Peace family. It’s been quite a while. Back in August, I got injured while learning manuals and minimal spins. I tore two ligaments in my knee and sprained my meniscus. I thought I’d never skate again. The doctors kept telling that skating shouldn’t be my focus. Finally, 6 months later, my doctor/PT said it’s time! She wanted my to go skate but take it truly easy. I was overly excited.. I finally got the green light. So I’ve been tryna go these last few weeks and I’m just so in motivated and discouraged. My legs are weak and everything I had learned and the strength I built seems gone. I’m literally staring from the beginning. I want to just hang the skates up. I love skating but I’m just not feeling confident and I’m so nervous!! I know that was a lot but I felt comfortable sharing here.

I am in need of a skate playlist or will be making one! What are your fav songs to skate to?

Peace, everyone! I want to learn how to pivot. Any advice, suggestions, techniques or resources would be greatly appreciated!!

What’s up Skate Fam! Welcome to the community. Thrilled to have you here. Take a sec to introduce yourself, doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. Just be yourself. …ill go first. 👋🏽My name is Knejie Allen. I’ve been skating for 10 years. Currently rolling in custom Riedell 3200s w and arius plate and probably some slick wheels (95A+). Im in Kansas City and own a Skate school, SK8SHOT Studios.

Any stretch tips to open up my hips? Or ideas on strengthing my non dominate side (my left, which is weird cause Im left handed..anyway) I do stretch but i don't think my left side gets the memo...I have been drilling the snake walk and can only do it fluidly with my right leg leading. When I switch to my left it's a hot mess😭 help a sista out!
