I THINK so! Still got a ways to go but I didn’t feel like I was gonna fall AND I did it with both feet! That’s W for ME!

My mobility and agility are definitely gone! I’m gonna kill myself trying to turn and transition from forward to back and vice versa. Either the wheels are too sticky or I’m not opening up my hips enough or both. I’m too heavy on wheels. Meaning I’m too clumsy to be light. How long did it take y’all to get these things down?

Hopped on the 8s today and surprisingly, it felt more stable than the previous times I’ve been on. Felt good enough to add to the regimen. I’m really taking this one step at a time (literally). I am still learning to master backwards, but I’ve added crossovers. I definitely realize I have a “scared side” as I am more comfortable attempting to cross the left leg over the right. I feel awkward and almost always felt like I was going to fall going the opposite direction. But the struggle continues. While I’m nowhere near good or even smooth enough going backwards, I do feel a lot more comfortable than I did even just 3 days ago. Let’s me know that @Knejie Allen wws absolutely right about muscle memory. Thanks bawse!

I had a skate session with Isabel Athena mitzen!! It was fabulous!!! Thank you so much for teaching me a few things and giving me some courage to loosen my trucks a little!! I’m looking forward to skating with you again!! Next time we take pictures!!

Anyone gonna be in STL for the Skills on Wheels event and wanna meet up? I’d love to see people IRL 😊
