3 turns / single leg pivot practice
the idea here was a tiny waltz jump into two pivots. still have lots to work on (ignore my crazy upper body lol) but making a little progress and having fun.

@Isabel Athina Mitzen thank you!! Have fun with it! I'm finding waltz jump (hop? step? someday it'll be a jump) more difficult to learn on quad skates than on ice and inline skates, but enjoying the ride. 😁

FINALLYYYY
Single leg pivot/ 3 turn. I have so much work still to do on these, but I'm so stoked to have a comfort level with them now after months of working at it.

Back with another one!
Hey all. It’s been a minute! Work has been kicking my ass! I haven’t been practicing much as I want to but today I made it a point to not only get on my skates but to record some of it. I practiced one leg balance skills, crossovers, open/closed book transitions (still struggling here) and what I THINK are backward crossovers (vide attached so you tell me). As usual I bring for your personal entertainment, my awkward and horrible skating! Don’t go too hard on the kid though. This was my first time practicing this technique. 😩

Ooh backwards crossovers on both sides. Props to you, Jay!! I have found it really challenging to get comfortable with picking my feet up when I skate backwards.

Un-learning the "skate really hard, really fast" mentality in order to learn footwork has been a fun challenge so far. I try to do a simple downtown and I travel 20 feet for some reason 😂😂

Starting Roller Derby to increase skills
I attended an interest meeting in my city for Roller derby last week. The new recruit program will start in a couple of weeks and I'm excited about it. I don't know how the sessions will be conducted, but I'll try to post my progress. I hope to level up my skating skills with the 12-week program. 😁

@Aleeta Powe It's pretty fun, I'm doing one in my pfp actually! I think it originates from figure skating. While rolling, crouch ALL the way down, extend one leg in front of you, grab your foot and lift it off the floor. The extended leg doesn't have to go super high, usually it stays parallel to the floor, and you can kinda steer yourself with it like a boat rudder. All your weight is on your other leg, which stays underneath you in that crouched position. There are a couple variations of the trick but that's the gist of it. Lots of fun, but you definitely want to stretch off-skates and loosen up first. If my hamstrings are too tight for me to comfortably fold forward and touch my toes, or grab my feet while seated on the floor in an L shape, then this trick will be uncomfortable for me.

If you ever do something cool at the rink and hear an enthusiastic "ALLLRIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!", that's me, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. 😌
