Hello friends! I have practice sessions where I start out good, am focusing on posture and working on my stops and then get in my head and can’t even skate in a straight line steadily. I use music to focus on that, but sometimes that does not even help. Does anyone have any other tips or tricks they use?

What would be the best way to encourage others to roller skate? Knowing the risks of falling.

Hello All! I am new to this community and excited to have found this. I started rolling skating recently as an adult and am truly loving it. My confidence currently is mediocre, but every time I put my skates on, I get a bit more comfortable and confident and even had my first fall recently which wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be!

Been on a bit of a health kick lately and it has changed the way how I think about skating to an extent. So far I've discerned that skating is beneficial for cardio, leg, core, hip and ankle stability/strength. Those muscles and joints are often overlooked and can lead to some nasty problems if not maintained. I'm glad skating exists to remedy or prevent those problems. Its not a one size fits all solution obviously but it really helps. 😁
