Hello, I’m Jackie. I’m so excited to finally take the plunge to finally learn to skate. I’ve been wanting to learn for years, but life always got in the way. I decide to just go for it and start living and enjoying life in my busy schedule. I watch folks on YouTube in skate videos all the time and just admire the peace and grace of skating. I’m 60 years young, live to hike and I am ready to learn and grow with the spirt of roller skating.🤙🏽

I just got my first pair of skates (Riedell Boosts) and in just an hour of skating my right inner ankle is rubbed raw! I tried adjusting the laces and even with them fully undone it didnt seem to help much. The stiffness on the boot is nothing like the floppy rentals that Ive grown accustomed to. Any advice would be great!
