I’m noticing that as I attempt to learn to backwards skate, that no matter how much I try to lean back, my body seems to lean forward (whether I’m using the bubbles method or lifting my feet straight up). As a result I’ve almost always fallen forward. Any suggestions on what I can do to correct this? It’s more prevalent when I’m using the bubbles because as KJ’s instructions say, when skating backwards to use the windshield wiper method pressing from the toes (opposite of going forward and using the heels). I feel like I’ve gotten the hang of going forward using the bubbles. Backwards is a whole other issue. 🫣😩😩😩😩 And I’ve been putting in practice for the past 3 days straight (no days off)!

I'm looking to invest in some new skates this year. My go to's are sure grip stardust roller skates or just some Impala's when I'm trying to be affordable. Does anybody have suggestions for intermediate skaters? I skate mostly outdoors btw.

My personal new year starts the day I was born but this 2026 I want to start skating everyday. Not sure if I do 30, 60, 90 or 365. Anyone else starting any skate resolutions or skate goals in 2026?

Hello!!! I am looking to buy some indoor wheels for my Moxi skates. What brand/hardness do you guys use for the rink? I’d consider myself a novice skater with basic skating knowledge. I tried Roller Derby 4 years ago but I didn’t have the stamina lol. I was looking at the Riedell (yellow wheels)91a or the savants in a similar hardness? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Went to an amazing LGBTQ inclusive skate meetup last weekend and was actually captured in a dip! 🤭🤓💪🌈🛼😎
