I'm a new skater. I started skating late May of this year. I recently found out that there are classes near my area. I go to my first class, and I get the basics of backwards crossovers, which is mostly knew to me since I'm not the best at skating backward. However, It was a great experience and I made a ton of progress. I practice outside of class and attend another session. Unfortunately I had a not so great experience the second time around. For all the hard work I put in, all I really remember were the constant pointers and corrections. Honestly that's part of the reason why I am attending, but a "good job" goes a long way. I think I just wanted to get this off my chest.

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.
