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😁

I haven’t been on here in a bit. I’m still here. But just fyi I broke my wrist so I’m benched for a bit. A young lady ran into me at the rink from behind. I was going regular rink direction and she was skating backwards. Obviously not looking where she was going. Sent me flying right off my feet. So I had surgery last Wednesday for plate and screws. I’ll be back though. I am putting on my skates and just sitting on the couch. I’m also going to do some off skate exercises in my socks. This sucks so bad.
