Outdoor Practice isn't Translating to Indoor Progress

So I've been practicing outdoors on tennis courts and empty parking lots 2-3 times a week for months now. I was happy with how much progress I was making and how comfortable I felt on my skates. Unfortunately, when I show up to the rink to put it all to the test I feel completely out of my element! The rink is so much smoother that I cant count on the muscle memory Ive built on pavement. I'm better than if I didnt practice at all, but much better outdoors. Have yall experienced this? How do you bridge the gap? I cant spend 60 dollars a week paying to practice at the rink exclusively.
