Haiii Everybowdy! In the 80s I started with skating. There used to be a rink in town and I tried to be there from opening to close. Anywho, the rink closed, life got in the way…. and now I’m picking it up again. My level isn’t where I want it to be, but I’m already enjoying both the skate parties and the skate community as much as back in the day. Excited to see what I can pick up here in Skool. Love the SKA8SHOT YouTube channel, so I’ll bet I’ll be just happy here, 😁Let’s Roll !

Hello Skate Family... I am revisiting skating, am out of shape, and not in my early years. I guess I would consider myself as an unskilled intermediate for whatever that may mean. Just know I am restarting at the beginning and trying to get my muscle groups in formation. Does anyone use training cones? What size or variation do you suggest? I am also teaching my daughter, and am looking for good ways to instruct or relay to her. I also found this community on YT with Mr. Knejie showing some basics - what ones and starter equipment do you suggest (cones, mats, tape, etc,) should you see this post?

So after 3 months skating, I broke my wrist. I had watched dozens of videos on how to fall safely, and I knew I wasn’t supposed to fall on my wrist, but it was an automatic reaction in the moment. So I’m wondering how to practice falling so I could change my automatic reaction in the future. Have you practiced falling? How did you practice? For context, I’m in my early 40s. My local skate school said they don’t practice falls with adults in the beginner class.

the idea here was a tiny waltz jump into two pivots. still have lots to work on (ignore my crazy upper body lol) but making a little progress and having fun.

This is hosted by Roc's World https://www.instagram.com/p/DfbZEKWnfsQ/?srtk=NDk2ejB2Mmw3bjJ3 I find his various Bootcamps and other virtual classes held throughout the year to be top tier. Very responsive, very insightful, very supportive..... and always fun! It's nice to be on zoom calls with other skaters all focused on improving. It's $60 for the whole 3 weeks, so only $20 per week.... worth it. Hope to see some of y'all there 🫶
