Learning Roller Derby
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.

@Marisa Sa It's flat track. I feel like I have so much to learn. There is a bout this weekend in South Bend, IN. Twelve matches over the course of the whole weekend.
I skated today!!
Broken wrist chronicles - I went to the rink when it was a learn to skate class in session. I put my skates on and promptly fell lmaooo! It wasn’t bad though I just went to a knee gently. I was a little shaky at first but I could see my skating coming back by the end of the session. I still need a few more but I’m definitely not afraid to get out there

So glad you have some confidence back and were able to get on your skates.
Moxi Skates - Sizes 🛼
Hello Hello! May somebody can help me 😊 I was wondering wether Size 10 (Beach Bunnys) would fit me. I meassured my feet (27 cm), according to the moxi’s size Chart Size 10 is 27,1 cm. So there is only 1 mm difference 🥲 The Skates could be to small, could’t they?

Check whether the boot of the beach bunny is vinyl or leather. If it’s vinyl, it will NOT stretch over time to conform to the shape of your foot. 🦶 If it is leather, it will stretch and conform to the shape of your foot. Plus, that 0,1 cm could allow for very thin socks. Is there any way you can call a Moxi dealer or skate shop to have a brief conversation about the sizes and their return policy?

@Michele Bihlmeyer If you buy a vinyl boot, the shoemaker probably will not be able to do anything with it. But...definitely ask
One Foot Traveling Pivots
I've been struggling with these for at least year. I've made some progress. Hopefully will get help here.

@Jane Parnell So glad that you can do a one foot pivot. That's outstanding! Consistency always pays off. Congratulations! On completing this difficult move.
OUCH!!! OUCH!!! OUCH!!!!
Ok! Where are my 40 plus members??? I was at the rink last Friday and stopped to help a little girl get up...long came two other teen girls behind me and I tumbled over. I didn't think anything of it. i got up, helped the three little girls up, and I kept skating. Finished the session, then the next day came!!! Oh my my my... it took my all week to recover! Lol... it hurts a lot more and a lot longer after "a little tumble" . My goodness... I have muscles that I did not know existed!!! Good news: nothing is broken 😀 I'm back at it tonight 🤪

Wrist guards (and maybe knee pads…under your pants) are a necessity for anyone over 40 who skates. Sometimes I don’t care if I look like a nerd at the rink. As long as I protect my joints and bones I’m happy.

I’ve been skating a LONG time and have taken a couple of extended hiatuses. Now that I have begun again, I want to learn JB and Rhythm skating.
