It’s quiet in here 🤫
What’s everyone working on? I’m trying some choreo, continuing to finesse spins, pivots, drilling edges, getting more comfortable with manuals…

One leg spin, and corkscrew are progressing…. the sit spin is just a dream. 💭 Need more discipline and strength. 😭

Heart and Soul Health
Just took a roll around the neighborhood. Windy day in VA so I was losing momentum but the breeze was nature’s fan. Thankful for the heart and soul health of skating! Thankful for that September challenge; my heart and soul thank you! @Lisa Ray
68 and here we go again
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?

Some parks have paved walking trails. Also, I visit the high school tracks and parking lots when classes are not in session. Put on all the safety gear. 68 year old newbie, Impressive! 😊
Hello again 👋🏻
Just thought I’d drop a little note here, reading all your posts is so very inspiring unfortunately I’ve done something to my knee, I’ve been to the doc’s.and need to get an xray, I hope everyone is okay with me liking your stories and occasionally making a comment, hopefully I’ll be able to tell my story once I’m on the move again, I’ve just had my driveway asphalted and it quite a long one so I at least have somewhere to practice as we don’t have anything close by that teaches roller skating, so self teaching here, anyway have a lovely day/night ☺️🌸🛼

Sorry about your knee! Happy healing! When you’re all better grab some knee pads and enjoy that private rink/ driveway! ❤️‍🩹 🙏🏽 🛼
Any tips on making skates more comfy?
I just got my first pair of skates (Riedell Boosts) and in just an hour of skating my right inner ankle is rubbed raw! I tried adjusting the laces and even with them fully undone it didnt seem to help much. The stiffness on the boot is nothing like the floppy rentals that Ive grown accustomed to. Any advice would be great!

I’m assuming you’re wearing socks 🧦 if not wear socks long enough to cover your ankles. I’m also assuming that you’re lacing them as you would ice skates ⛸️. 🛼 Roller skates, especially rhythm skates, are typically not laced as tight- for dancing purposes. Personally, I leave the top three holes/hooks unlaced. Some people do not use the top lacing area at all. Hope this helps and that your ankle heals quickly!

Just reread your post and noticed you have tried fixing the lacing. You may need to try another size boot if your foot is sliding around or a different brand skate that works better. I actually prefer my Sure Grip boot’s fit over my Riedell… Lacing on my Riedell Orbit
