Body geometry question
Hello all, I’m brand new to skating; been watching the Sk8Shot vids on youtube. My skates just came; I got the Moxie Rainbow Riders. My hurdle is this: my femurs are just naturally off so I am forever knock kneed, no amount of abductor strengthening will change that. Is there a way to work around this or was it just stupid to buy these skates and should I just give them away? Thanks!

I can't speak directly to skating, but I am a yoga teacher so I see all kinds of bodies working with all kinds of things that are "naturally off." No body is perfect, we all work with what we've got. I hate to see you be so discouraged so quickly, so I'd recommend you move forward... slowly, thoughtfully. Knees are a big deal and you want to treat them with care, but I don't think that means you need to stay sidelined if this is something you want to explore. More frequent, shorter sessions are going to be kinder and help you build strength better than longer more aggressive sessions. Treat your body with care, pay attention, and go have fun! It never hurts to run it by your doctor too.
Roller Skate Buyers Guide
Before you spend a dollar on skates, read this. I have spent more than ten years on eight wheels living rhythm skating, and the number one thing that trips up new skaters is not their feet. It is buying the wrong pair before they ever get to skate. So I made you a shortcut. This is the SK8SHOT Roller Skate Buyer's Guide. It walks you through exactly how to pick your first pair of quad skates so you fall in love with skating from day one. Inside you will find: - What skates to get and which brands to stay away from - Essential info about wheels, jam plugs, bearings, lacing and insoles - How much to expect to spend and more... Grab the guide below. Once you have it, drop a comment and tell me what you think about it and any questions you have. Hope this helps. Let's get you rolling!
