I got inspired to try something new. This is my favorite way to practice now

hey yall!!! my name is Dom, I’m in the Wyandotte/Detroit, MI area and I'm a superrr beginner. I’m talking - 12 physical days of practice - beginner, lol. HOWEVER, for day 12, I’ll say I’m progressing faster than I expected to! So excited to join an online community! Hopefully there’s some Detroiters in here!

Tell us how long you’ve been skating (for context) and what you’re currently working on!? Happy Sk8ing!

What up, folks? "Free" is in the building Grew up skating on the West Coast back in the 90's. After moving to KC in 2017, I Found my way back into the culture. Different regions, different styles, same love for rollin'. Curious to know what Rink & city do you call home? Home Rink: World on Wheels, Los Angeles 92'

So…since April, I’ve started learning to play roller derby. 😳 This requires an entirely different set of skating skills. We train/practice for 2 hr a week. I’m learning new skating techniques, becoming really proficient and developing a community. The pictures are from our gathering at a skate park. My first time ever rolling over ramps and elevated, curvy structures…like skateboarders. It was an experience indeed. Skate parks force you to work on and master your balance, which makes you a much better skater on level surfaces.
