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 🤪

Yesterday I noticed both of my skates making a shushing sound when I lean on the outside edges and am skating at speed. (I can't get it to happen going slow in my kitchen.) It also seems like when the sound happens I slow down, almost like my skate is braking. What could this be?

Has anyone attempted to go into a toe manual or when skating backwards, and you put you directional foot on its toe. the foot that goes up on its toes wobbles uncontrollably hard. I've asked a couple people at my rink has this ever happened, and no one knew or could remember. What is this called if ther is a name for it; how could i stop it, and why does it happen.

what are the best stretches & exercises to do before skating?
