Finally got to go skating tonight it’s been months 😆 had soo much fun and I tried so many of the things Ive been learning on here and managed not to fall or hurt myself 😁😁

I see so many beginners drop $800 on custom boots and Arius plates, thinking the hardware will magically cure their balance issues. Then they hit the rink, try a pivot-back6 combo, and immediately eat the floor. The pain is real (especially the bunions!). I was frustrated for years until I stopped blaming my wheels and installed 'The Silent Hand-Off' into my practice sessions. Instead of forcing the momentum, the hand-off trains your body to transfer your center of gravity seamlessly from the toe manual into the spin, letting physics do the work instead of your ankles. What's the hardest part of your skating journey right now—nailing the footwork, or just finding the confidence to hit the floor?

My husband (a rollerblader/hockey player) shared this link about plans for a new outdoor rink in Kansas City, MO historic 18th & Vine jazz district. We have a few outdoor rinks in the area but, those are mostly setup for hockey. This one looks really large and should be fun! https://fox4kc.com/news/new-outdoor-skating-rink-coming-to-park-near-18th-and-vine-jazz-district/
