Next week will be one year since I was determined to learn how to skate. Overall I’m super proud of myself. I have social anxiety so just me getting out and going to the rink alone to learn was a breakthrough. I didn’t learn as much as I initially wanted to but realize now that learning isn’t linear and to just keep celebrating my wins 🎉 I want to be more intentional this upcoming year. Really practicing more, work on pivots and turns and musicality.

Last night, while I was at a skate session, I got called into the office only for my skate mentor to give me a bronze medal as one of the most improved skaters, I cried so much! I’ve only been skating for almost 3 years and it meant so much to me for my efforts to be recognized. I’m truly grateful and I can’t wait to see where my skate journey takes me. So many people helped push me this far. 💕❤️

Yall I paid the wood tax last week. I been trying to learn how to do turns both ways in traffic. Cuz just doing moves off on the practice side isn’t gonna cut it. Well..I did one and actually stuck it but then fell down anyway LOL! My coach was like “what happened? You had it and were going straight”. Idk I think I just got nervous. But now I’m not nervous anymore 😂 He told me that he is happy that I’m progressing to doing other things and one guy gave me a high five. Seriously though, I think the fall almost unlocked something in me. I’ll be back at it today.

Thanks Knejie for the detailed training you gave my wife and I … flying from Maryland to come see you was just what we needed, 1 on 1 training, learned so much along with new pain in my muscles I never knew existed lol ha ha Hopefully, we can come back to KC again after some serious drills and lots practicing

Hello everyone, Thanks for the add. I join this group to get better at skating. I started teaching myself at the age of 40 and it’s not looking to good. But it going very slow. Then I got hurt and stopped for about to years. The. Got back on about 3 months ago but I lost 115 pounds since then so now it feels like I never learned all over again. I didn’t know much before but how to go around in a circle without falling. But it was progress for me. But now I would like to add on it. Hopefully this group I will get that. Anyone from Texas in this group. I drive trucks still right now so my schedule is all over the place. But I have a new position so my schedule will change soon and I will have more time to practice like I want to. I just want to be able to skate with all the grown folks backwards in slow motion to the sexy music. 🤣🥰😜
