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 finally, I've healed enough to get on my skates. Went to a session last night for 2.5 hours. Once I relaxed and overcame my fear of reinjury, I felt great. Hardly anyone was in attendance, so the 3 people there could do whatever we wanted. Practiced backwards in opposite direction (clockwise)....fast with crossovers, transitions, toe manuals, and beginner spins. Focused on stepping or doing all moves to the beat of the music. Later in the session, a woman even complimented me on my backwards skating skills. 😊 Next time, I should take a video and post it. I felt refreshed after the session. 😁

I feel like the prettiest T. rex ever. Tips to get this torso in check? just a sloppy flow - I was already over 3 hours in my body tapping out I’ll take any pointers

My husband (a rollerblader/hockey player) shared this link about plans for a new outdoor rink in Kansas City, MO historic 18th & Vine jazz district. We have a few outdoor rinks in the area but, those are mostly setup for hockey. This one looks really large and should be fun! https://fox4kc.com/news/new-outdoor-skating-rink-coming-to-park-near-18th-and-vine-jazz-district/
