First day on new skates!

Got to the rink today to finally put miles on my new skates. Even got my sister to drive 2 and a half hours to go. We had a blast. What a difference good skates make. I don’t know what you call it but for the first time in my life I was able to do the kinda bouncy leg cross one leg and heel half moon thing. I’m sure it has a name. I wasn’t very fast but I was able to bop around to the music. We had a blast and even though we are in our forties we did engage in a highly competitive tag which brought us back to our elementary school skate days. And as competitive siblings I must mention there was one fall and it wasn’t me!!!!!! She was trying to jump over a painted line to one up me and she one downed herself. Thank you to everyone who has helped me so far. I have to make the journey to Pittsburgh Monday and hoping to hit up Wicked skatewear for some outdoor wheels.
