@Rhiannon Gray in person lessons are great, but don't sleep on zoom lessons. as long as they can see what you're doing, a good instructor can explain corrections needed and give you drills to work on. also in Houston, https://www.instagram.com/thelab.htx?igsh=MW1meXZ6cmlveHVxcA==

@Donna Choice that's great!.. the Ymca near me does not allow skating, but I have seen videos of people skating at their local Y.... definitely worth taking advantage of if available!

Hi Melvin, do you have a video?

@Denise Woods how are you doing with your skate journey? did you continue at rollerfit? (I would love the opportunity to work with coach glo!) skatertot is also in ATL and gives lessons.

@Logan McTaggart welcome back to the skate journey!

@Ben Fillmore have you bitten the bullet and decided to purchase your own skates yet?

@Josie Torres you went from an 85a wheel to a 78a wheel outside and are describing them as feeling more slippery. I've seen others describe that as well, which I initially thought was unusual because you're going from a harder more slippery wheel to a softer and stickier one. The harder wheels will feel more bumpy, more vibration, louder. The softer wheels will feel smoother, quieter. I think what's happening is that your body is interpreting the smoother ride as "slippery"... Those 78a wheels actually have more grip than your previous set. You will notice it more if you try skating on hardwood with them, you won't be able to slide or slip the wheels across the ground in any direction except forward and backward. You can still work on edges and carving, but things like crabs and pivots, you definitely have to exaggerate the heel/toe lifts off the ground. I have those 78a wheels and find them great for trail skating outdoors, but not for dance skating outdoors. For dance skating I still prefer a harder wheel, even outdoors.

@Josie Torres that's just my preference, to use those 78s for trails and the street. Ultimately, I think it's cool to try different wheels and find what works for you and what you like best.... The downside is that you end up with a lot of wheels, and some you end up liking more than others, and they're such a niche thing to sell off used.
