Just thought I’d drop a little note here, reading all your posts is so very inspiring unfortunately I’ve done something to my knee, I’ve been to the doc’s.and need to get an xray, I hope everyone is okay with me liking your stories and occasionally making a comment, hopefully I’ll be able to tell my story once I’m on the move again, I’ve just had my driveway asphalted and it quite a long one so I at least have somewhere to practice as we don’t have anything close by that teaches roller skating, so self teaching here, anyway have a lovely day/night ☺️🌸🛼

Seriously, those Wednesday lessons are essential!! After that lesson yesterday, I just leveled up! Two rotations on the one foot spin! Now, to get that down consistently! 😂

So it’s officially 9 months since I started skating. I have the forward down and backwards is coming along quite nicely. But I get super wobbly when I’m trying to do things like the Downtown or other dances on skates. Does this get better?? I was a little disappointed in myself yesterday at session because I can’t seem to make it smooth out when I was being taught the Downtown. I felt like I was going to fall while others make it look so effortless 🥺

I’ve thought of skating like learning to play spades. If you didn’t learn before 17, it’s too late for you. But at 41, I’ve bought a pair of skates and PPE, so let me see how much I can learn without breaking anything important

I don’t know if anyone else here has pets… But the looks on my dogs’ faces as I rolled through the house for the first time… Priceless! The look I got was somewhere in between alarm and judgment 🤣 How about y’all? Can you skate around your pets? Do they want to fight the skates? Do they try to trip you? 🛼🐶
