Mid life skater, you go for it! I just got back onto skates recently after 20 years break and had back surgery in late feb 2020 and refurbished 2 pairs of my vintage skates while I recoverred. A rink and a road pair. New lease on life with no pain. Deb you are an inspiration. I'm 48. I was an exceptional natural skater my whole young life. I thought I'd be a pro right off. Nup. Not bad, but I needed some refresher revision. I went to my local rink for my first session. By the second visit, I got to talking to people and made some new skate buddies. I also tried the beach cycleway near me. A bit too adventurous, but that will come with time and practice. Your outdoor skating vids helped a great deal. I think I still have fall and injury fear. I'm glad you address that. When I forget and listen to the music, I move really nicely. Please don't stop doing what you do! Totally love you!

Love this, like the running man on wheels!!!! Just got my new skates (Impala holographic) today, while still waiting on my Moxi’s... I’ve been skating since I could walk but have never tried this🛼🛼🛼 in my 42 years...yet

I friggen love you lady! I'm a mum of 3 who isn't nearly as fit or slim as I was in the past and I thought I was too old or it would be uncool for a mum to learn to skate. I used to inline skate as a kid and always wanted to quad skate but didn't have the opportunity. I purchased my 7yo daughter roller skates for her birthday recently and was inspired by you to give it a crack too. As someone who has struggled with body image since kids, and always worried about what people think, I'm so grateful for your positive attitude and incredible teaching style! I soon look forward to embarrassing my kids at the skate park (when I'm at that point haha). In the words of Mean Girls "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom 😜" Love from down under Australia ✌️

Ok so I tried this move tonight and plot twist: it’s actually quite easy! The only problem is the garage is so small so I only get the chance to do like two or 3 crossovers before I get to the wall. Ugh, what I wouldn’t give to skate at Deb’s rink!

Hi Deb... I've been waiting to get back to you, in June this year I broke my leg and shoulder while I was skating... A month ago my surgeon gave me the green light to skate again but I'm waiting until the new year just to get my mind and body fresh again .. I'm back working full-time and everything is great.. Very nervous about being back on my skates but I love my skating so much... It's good to be back. Thanks Deb, hope all is well for you

Question...i just replaced my original impala wheels with pulse wheels(love them). To do these backcrosses should I be using smaller wheels for practicing this technique?

@Dirtydeborahharry

3 жыл бұрын

Please watch my video in the "Gear" playlist. There is one there titled "Wheels" and it should help you out a lot. Note, the most important issue is the compatibility of the wheel compound versus the surface of the floor. Generally, if you are skating inside, you need to have harder wheels. Video I referenced will help you.

So it's just a matter of lifting your foot and dropping it behind while bringing your centre of balance down ?
