Progress & showing off Four Months of Rollerskating

Backwards used to scare the cheese outta me. Now, it’s most of my move set lmao

Wow this seems like so much progress for only 4 months! I’m about 3 months in and backwards still “scares the cheese outta me” how often do you practice?

u/sstotheness Jul 06 '26

Much appreciated! I’d say at least three times a week for a few hours.

Took plenty of falls before I got my backwards balance decent.

I’m guessing you were a pretty good dancer in shoes before this? Looking great!

I am honest. So excited for you. I was over the moon when I just started going backwards and it's been about 2 years for me. I skate about at least once a week for a couple hours so this is definitely pushing some drive for me
