Have Fun!
🛼 SK8SHOT fam, real question for everyone…What’s the one thing you’re currently working on in your skating — balance, speed control, backwards flow, transitions, or just building confidence? Everyone here is from different cities, levels, and styles… which makes this group powerful. Drop yours below and maybe share one tiny technique that helped you level up recently. You never know who it might help. I’ll start the thread once a few people jump in — let’s see what everyone’s cooking on wheels today. 🔥

@Lisa Ray righhttt?.. That's what I love about this place... A group of people who actually would talk about skating all day if we could! Skate nerds unite 🤓

One year skaterversary ❤️
Next week will be one year since I was determined to learn how to skate. Overall I’m super proud of myself. I have social anxiety so just me getting out and going to the rink alone to learn was a breakthrough. I didn’t learn as much as I initially wanted to but realize now that learning isn’t linear and to just keep celebrating my wins 🎉 I want to be more intentional this upcoming year. Really practicing more, work on pivots and turns and musicality.

Getting up from a fall?
Anyone have any tips for getting up from a fall? I am a plus size woman. And wonder if anyone has any alternative tricks they use to get up. I try to put one skate on the floor from a kneeling position but just can't push up. Feels like a pistol squat that I can't finish. Difficulty getting up is the only reason I fear falling.

I had a student that was plus sized and who was having a lot of difficulty getting up with the method where you kneel, then put one foot flat, hands on that knee and roll up. What worked for her eventually was to put that foot, say the Left, up on the front wheels and toe stop, so it formed a tripod that didn't roll. Then she put left hand on ground in front and off to left a bit so weight could be shifted forward and to the left, and this allowed her to pull the right foot up flat beneath the hips. Then she pushed off with the hand that was on the ground to come into a low squat on both feet, and roll up slowly from there. It honestly took awhile to get that modification to work, and it was very wobbly at first, but she eventually got comfortable with it. I remember some classes where getting up was the biggest most sweat inducing part of the whole session. Everyone's body is shaped differently and has their own strengths and weaknesses, so I'm interested in hearing what else has worked for others having this issue as well.

Skating in public...with no skates
I know i'm not the only crazy person here who skates in my shoes throughout the day, right?😂 My favorite is practicing my pivots like im snapping, using a grocery cart at the store lol. What about yall?

@Carrie Morgan i can't think of an off skates drill specifically for back crosspulls... I do remember nicole fiore recommending side lunges to train up for them though.... One tip I can give forwhen I started doing them, what unlocked them for me was that upper body hug the circle position, but specifically the shoulder position of the leading arm. I was rolling that shoulder down while traveling. Once I rolled it back it allowed me to face the circle easier.... I also picked up a lot more speed , so had to learn to control that.

@Carrie Morgan I hear you! I prefer middlework, so when I pick up speed on the outside, it's always like "whoah" 😆
