Back with another one!
Hey all. It’s been a minute! Work has been kicking my ass! I haven’t been practicing much as I want to but today I made it a point to not only get on my skates but to record some of it. I practiced one leg balance skills, crossovers, open/closed book transitions (still struggling here) and what I THINK are backward crossovers (vide attached so you tell me). As usual I bring for your personal entertainment, my awkward and horrible skating! Don’t go too hard on the kid though. This was my first time practicing this technique. 😩

@Max Fullname it's difficult if you don't line yourself up over one foot. Just like standing still on your feet, unless you align you body weight over the one leg and foot you can't pick your other foot up for any length of time

Off-Skate Work
I saw a post earlier and there were a couple people mentioning the importance of “off-skate” routines- I like to work on eagle in both directions against a wall to help the flexies and stretch- what are some things y’all are doing off-skate that is proving helpful when you get back in skates?!

@Aleeta Powe preach 🙌🏻🙌🏻 strength training was a game changer for my skating. I thought I was doing pretty well before but drastically fewer falls and greater confidence has me hooked at the gym.

Narrow feet skate help
I was so excited to get home from work today to have my new sure grip skates oxfords waiting for me. I bought two sizes 8 and 9. The8 was right length but I had so much room in ball of foot and I had the ankle portion laced to touching and still loose.. I am a new skater who used to skate in the 80s. I m looking for a women’s narrow skate but not cheapies but not a thousand dollars either. Please help.

Penny for your thoughts
I'm currently taking a skate instructor course. May I ask you 3 questions? <If "yes" proceed to next step> 👇🏻 1. What frustrates you most about skating? 2. What skill do you wish you had? 3. What would make you feel more confident?

@Aleeta Powe No one is judging you at the rink. Just do your thing. When we look at how silly we all our with wheels strapped to our feet we should just be smiling and laughing. IT'S SO SILLY!!! Time to roll like nobody is watching you wherever that may take you.

@Wesley P yeah we've all got to give ourselves some grace when learning new skills. Taking a lesson even if it's online is a game changer. Sometimes what we think we're seeing is almost an illusion and our brain is not grasping what needs to be done to execute the move. Keep up the fun and ditch the frustration. What we are doing by strapping wheels on our feet is so silly we should just be smiling all the time 😁

One Leg Balance - Tips For Beginners
I’m struggling with One Leg Balance. May someone please give me some advice.

Yes to all the above advice from @Aleeta Powe and @Marisa Sa ! Whichever skate you are standing on pick an edge, whichever feels best for you. If it's your outside edge think about lining that bent knee over your baby toe, push down on the outside of your foot and through those outside wheels. It should feel like you are locking those wheels into the ground preventing a roll. Some people feel better using an outside edge, in that case connect with your inside wheels, big toe, knee over toe, nose over knee.

For off skates practice I love using a yoga block because there is a little play to it so it resembles the feeling of your trucks flexing and you will have to fight a little more to maintain your balance
