I hate to say it but it really is like that normally. Most people favor or are stronger on one side than the other. That’s why most skaters I have watched and try to learn from always tell you to make sure you practice on both sides. It really stinks too because we are new and it’s already hard enough getting it down pat on one side 😂 just gotta keep practicing!!

So I do drills but I mix things up so I’m not getting tired of doing the same thing over and over. But honestly there is really an order to learn so that you are using one skill to help learn the next skill. I had to like go back and start with the basics because I tried to do like crossovers and transitions before I was even comfortable with one leg balance. So saying that to say, get the basics down first. KJ has “before you can do this, do THIS” videos or just start with the 100 day school. But I find that when you learn a skill, you have to keep working on it and incorporate it each time you skate. I’m also a huge video/reel watcher and even if it’s just 15 minutes at home I will get up and get a little practice in and try to learn what I’ve watched.

Hi! Welcome!!

@Toi MissToi I’m only at month 6 myself. I know that if the trucks are too loose then you have to relearn balance. Definitely something to think about

@Toi MissToi honestly have no idea 😂 I wanted Roll Line didn’t want to spend as much on the Dance plates and felt like this would be a good middle ground. I don’t have anything to compare it to though because I’m coming from a nylon Gorilla plate. I know it has either a) made things easier like turns and pivots or b) I have just gotten a little better at skating or a little bit of both 😂 But it’s def a different feel than my nylon plates.
