Thanks for indulging me today! I also managed to skate at my daughter's Halloween carnival last Saturday in a wolf mascot costume! The debris skills leveled up due to impaired visual plane, but I stayed upright and experienced so much dopamine from the little kids waving to me. #

There is a new long-term pop-up (so is that a stay-up?) at The Shops at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, on the SoFi Stadium campus. It's open for 2-hour sessions Wednesdays & Thursdays noon-10pm, Fridays & Saturdays noon-10:30pm, until at least the end of December. Outdoor skating on concrete, no walls to crash into. All ages welcome, but last session of the night is 21+ with themed music. Kids are $10.50/ session, adults are $15.50/ session, 21+ sessions are $19.50, skate rental is $3.00 / session. Tickets and schedule info: sunshineskatecenter.com I haven't tried it yet. I'm still not a strong skater so don't know how I feel about 0 walls. But since I work at Hollywood Park 😁 I'm keeping my eye on it. Insider tip: right now, participation is low. If you like an empty skate environment, now is a good time to take advantage.

I’m relearning at 68. And want to learn outdoors. My challenge is finding the right outdoor location. I’m thinking tennis or basketball courts. Are there other locations I should look in to?

That side always has the air of impossibility- so when it finally comes online… it’s cause for celebration!

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!
