Just thought I’d drop a little note here, reading all your posts is so very inspiring unfortunately I’ve done something to my knee, I’ve been to the doc’s.and need to get an xray, I hope everyone is okay with me liking your stories and occasionally making a comment, hopefully I’ll be able to tell my story once I’m on the move again, I’ve just had my driveway asphalted and it quite a long one so I at least have somewhere to practice as we don’t have anything close by that teaches roller skating, so self teaching here, anyway have a lovely day/night ☺️🌸🛼

So it’s officially 9 months since I started skating. I have the forward down and backwards is coming along quite nicely. But I get super wobbly when I’m trying to do things like the Downtown or other dances on skates. Does this get better?? I was a little disappointed in myself yesterday at session because I can’t seem to make it smooth out when I was being taught the Downtown. I felt like I was going to fall while others make it look so effortless 🥺

Let’s do skate September and skate every day of the month. Even if it’s just 15 minutes of skating around the house. I am coming up on a year of skating and I need to level up.

So I have moxi lolli skates. They comes with original outdoor wheels. The rubbery bouncy kind. I’ve been doing good with these wheels both indoor and outdoor. I understand these wheels are used more for inconsistent surfaces. I’m looking for something that is smoother for indoor skating but not too slick since I’m not there yet. I only practice drills but am looking for something smoother because I’m practicing spins and the rubber wheels seem to catch. Any suggestions on what my next wheels should be? Also what tools I would need in order yo change my wheels. Thank you my skate friends.

I’m just getting back into skating after a 3 decade furlough. I’m having a blast!!! I was quite good back in the day. Fast forward, I’m rolling, but not as fluid as I’d like to be. So happy I found KJ on YouTube. I wish I could attend lessons in person. Hoping to find a quad skate community here in North Florida.
