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 🤪

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.

any podcast fans and listeners in here? i listen to several all the time usually in the car during my commutes. i was wondering, if there was a good roller skate podcast that skaters wanted to listen to, what topics what topics would you want to hear talked about? who would you like to hear from? what would it look like? Asking for a friend😁

What song do you practice with to try to flow? Let's talk

Here are a few clips from a recent practice session. I received an insta360 for my birthday a few months ago, and It's taken me awhile to actually start using it. I was excited to try the tracking feature while I practiced. One thing I'm learning about recording progress is that I dislike editing videos, and it's probably much better to record short clips at a time, rather than a whole 20 minutes that I then have to review and cut down into smaller sections. But here are a few things I'm working on. starting to practice spins , a little pivot-pivot-back6 combo, the first part of a boomerang, dips. this was my first time recording some of these, and I see so many things to fix! Cheers to progress videos 😃
