(This IS a win - you'll see). I've been skating at local basketball & tennis courts since last May no problem. People (including parks employees) have smiled and encouraged me, even said they like watching, I've never been in anyone's way nor done any harm, nor has my benign activity encouraged any other skaters to "invade" the courts... I can't GET anyone to join me. You probably see where this is going... some guy, a belligerent bully didn't just suggest maybe I should reconsider (as I attempted to skate on an empty tennis court) - he just hauled off and started threatening me and told me to leave immediately, shouting I was "going to ruin it for everyone!" I politely said I'd been skating there for almost a year no problem, done no harm, no one's said a word until that moment, but it only made him more insistent, loud and threatening, throwing in lots of "bros", etc. I left as he and his friends laughed, having won their little battle, defeating my attempted invasion, making me feel almost afraid for my life. I drove to some other courts but lots of people out for some reason; I guess spring break? I was really rattled, adrenaline pumping, and stopped by the police station nearby to ask an officer what his take on it would be. He was sympathetic but said he'd probably have to go with the what's on the signs, that wheeled things weren't allowed. Anyhow, cautionary tale - keep in mind there are people out there that refuse to live and let live, and they relish the opportunity to get in your way. This can be an additional challenge to skating. I'll look for a solution or work-around and let you know.

I'm visiting my fam in Houston for the holidays. I'll be skating at Bear Creek Friday night, Fun City Skate Saturday, and maybe somewhere Sunday. HMU or meet me there for a sesh together🕺🏽

Hey skaters! Curiosity is calling my name. I love asking this question. I will even answer it myself. 💜 My story: When I left school my sophomore year and switched to online, I suddenly found myself without many friends. Honestly i was very lonely. Skating had always been part of my life, but everything changed in 2023 when I discovered rhythm skating. I didn’t expect much from it, but I quickly fell in love- with the movement, the community, and the joy it brought me. Skating became therapeutic, helped me rebuild friendships, and shaped the person I am today. I truly can’t imagine my life without it. Skating fills the void nothing else could.

Heyy, does anyone have any tips for learning how to snap!

If I had a dollar for every time I got asked what's the name of the song I'm using or where do I get all of this music from? I'd already be rich! I don't gate keep nothing! But you do need to know the right places to look if you wanna find some good skate music so here's the latest JB album that I've been listening to... it's absolute 🔥🔥 👇🏽 [Click Here For the JB Mix] 👆🏽 And if you like that album and more skate music, then just look through my bandcamp collection and you'll have plenty of inspiration. Comment a link to your favorite skate song! Who knows maybe someone should start a SK8SHOT Society music playlist?😎
