Oh, I forgot to add something that has helped me in the past with back cross overs is imagine yourself sitting on a chair. For me it gets me to bend the knees without repeating in my head “bend knees..bend knees…bend knees” over and over. 😊

Thank you for the tip! I'll think about it when I skate later today... I'm always yelling at myself in my head to bend my knees, haha!

hi i am around 40 and learning to skate for the first time. thanks for the inspiration, keep going and enjoy yourself

You inspire me so much. Due to a series of injuries and unfortunate events I have to learn to skate all over again from moment one. This will be my fourth time starting over. I have felt so defeated but seeing someone else have a slower journey gives me hope. Thank you for your updates.

Thanks for watching! Slow progress is frustrating to me too, but then I tell myself I don't really have any end goals of competing or performing, so... 😅

Progress is never a straight line to the top so keep believing in yourself no matter what others say. . If you believe it will be achieved. Also I suggest you count hours spent practicing vs. months coz it's more fair /realistic⛸️

I am 40 and been skating since 5 years old, people always think that I am much younger than my actual age.
