With my girls!
Ouch!
I haven’t been on here in a bit. I’m still here. But just fyi I broke my wrist so I’m benched for a bit. A young lady ran into me at the rink from behind. I was going regular rink direction and she was skating backwards. Obviously not looking where she was going. Sent me flying right off my feet. So I had surgery last Wednesday for plate and screws. I’ll be back though. I am putting on my skates and just sitting on the couch. I’m also going to do some off skate exercises in my socks. This sucks so bad.

Oh, that really sucks! Glad you're not letting that discourage you! Stay strong and come back soon!
Paid the wood tax
Yall I paid the wood tax last week. I been trying to learn how to do turns both ways in traffic. Cuz just doing moves off on the practice side isn’t gonna cut it. Well..I did one and actually stuck it but then fell down anyway LOL! My coach was like “what happened? You had it and were going straight”. Idk I think I just got nervous. But now I’m not nervous anymore 😂 He told me that he is happy that I’m progressing to doing other things and one guy gave me a high five. Seriously though, I think the fall almost unlocked something in me. I’ll be back at it today.

That's awesome! Keep at it!
Overcoming fear
How do I overcome fear of doing moves on the rink floor? Like I can do pivots and currently working on spins OFF to the side in the practice areas but freeze up when I get on the floor. How do I combat this? I want to level up

You just have to get out there and go for it. You have to start getting comfortable with having people around you while doing stuff. Otherwise you'll always be scared. Move closer to the center or slower lanes in the rink. As you get used to maneuvering around people it gets less scary and you can slowly "merge into traffic" as you get more comfortable.
Found a wood floor rink!
So, my crew and I have finally found a rink with a wood floor! It's a Roller City, in Denver, about an hour drive from us. So far the Adult night sessions on Wednesday nights have been really fun. Everyone is very welcoming and showing us new dance routines. 😆 I grabbed a quick video as we were leaving.

It's huge too. At the end of the video you can just see the little practice space off to the side.

I'm 54, and just picked up skating again this past year after 40 years! Having a blast! I didn't know it could still be this much fun.
