Creating a little space here for some intentional skate work next month. This includes: -Studying/watching tutorials/comprehending and breaking down moves -Practicing on or off skates -Practicing skate adjacent skills such as choreo and timing -Skatenance (skate maintenance) -strength and balance exercises -stretching -Rest and recovery days -logging time/activity, tracking and recording The goal is to do these things with consistency Consistency leads to growth. I like the idea of posting regularly for accountability, but also know that sometimes you just don't have the bandwidth to post every day. Maybe you come back here and post once a week about what you did. Whichever works. I hope some of y'all will join me in this April challenge, and share what you're working on throughout the month. I know the end of the challenge will bring many lessons I'd love to hear about.

I broke my pinky toe. Been out of commission. Bruising is gone but it's still swollen and hurts to wear a closed toe shoe. I'm going to wrap it and see how it goes in skates. Any of you ever have a broken toe while skating? Im going loop loop without my quad wheels on 🤪 lol!

Quite happy with the amount of progress I've made with my spin. More revolutions and more speed compared to my video 3 months ago. Tips/pointers are welcome. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DInZXw6TJ9H/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I was skating at the dojo aka Bk Skates learning a new move . I stopped and up in the air I went. Landing on my left wrist. 101 of skate never use you hands to cushion your fall.
