I changed my wheels again to my sure-grips and went to overpeck park to skate. Omg it’s harder than it looks but let me tell you, I made it around twice and was breathing hard from the workout it gave me lol My thinking was that maybe I could possibly improve my one foot balance by gliding and yes at time it was getting better but then speed (and bumps) was an issue. I made it around twice without falling so that’s when the penguin stance helped lol. Practice makes progress…..have an awesome day!

So…since April, I’ve started learning to play roller derby. 😳 This requires an entirely different set of skating skills. We train/practice for 2 hr a week. I’m learning new skating techniques, becoming really proficient and developing a community. The pictures are from our gathering at a skate park. My first time ever rolling over ramps and elevated, curvy structures…like skateboarders. It was an experience indeed. Skate parks force you to work on and master your balance, which makes you a much better skater on level surfaces.

Ok! Where are my 40 plus members??? I was at the rink last Friday and stopped to help a little girl get up...long came two other teen girls behind me and I tumbled over. I didn't think anything of it. i got up, helped the three little girls up, and I kept skating. Finished the session, then the next day came!!! Oh my my my... it took my all week to recover! Lol... it hurts a lot more and a lot longer after "a little tumble" . My goodness... I have muscles that I did not know existed!!! Good news: nothing is broken 😀 I'm back at it tonight 🤪

any podcast fans and listeners in here? i listen to several all the time usually in the car during my commutes. i was wondering, if there was a good roller skate podcast that skaters wanted to listen to, what topics what topics would you want to hear talked about? who would you like to hear from? what would it look like? Asking for a friend😁

What song do you practice with to try to flow? Let's talk
