Hi! I am a beginner and got my first pair of skates second hand. one of them is constantly pulling inwards, which I have to work against constantly. I am pretty sure it is not a posture problem, as it keeps happening if I just roll it on a flat surface without wearing it. Any ideas what I could do?

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)!

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!

How long and frequent are your practice sessions? I’m averaging about 3 times a week outdoors, but I ultimately would like to skate indoors. Also sometimes I’m done after 30 minutes, sometimes it’s an hour. Just curious of others routines. I can’t wait until I feel confident to make a trip to the skating rink worth it. Also how long do you spend on each lesson? I’ve been practicing posture, forward and backward, and crossovers for over a week now.

What’s your best recommendation for an entry level skate for a 10yo girl. She’s just falling in love with rink skating
