Hey skaters! Curiosity is calling my name. I love asking this question. I will even answer it myself. 💜 My story: When I left school my sophomore year and switched to online, I suddenly found myself without many friends. Honestly i was very lonely. Skating had always been part of my life, but everything changed in 2023 when I discovered rhythm skating. I didn’t expect much from it, but I quickly fell in love- with the movement, the community, and the joy it brought me. Skating became therapeutic, helped me rebuild friendships, and shaped the person I am today. I truly can’t imagine my life without it. Skating fills the void nothing else could.

Anyone have any tips for getting up from a fall? I am a plus size woman. And wonder if anyone has any alternative tricks they use to get up. I try to put one skate on the floor from a kneeling position but just can't push up. Feels like a pistol squat that I can't finish. Difficulty getting up is the only reason I fear falling.

“As someone who is newly getting into skating, what type of skates would I recommend purchasing?

In my house I'm trying to practice. I need more strength in my legs. Any exercises I should do?

Hello, i am from Romania and i would like to start online rollerskating classes. Can you give me some tips on how to start ? Thank you!
