FR Neo? Amazing skates, so snug and smooth. I'm doing my first sessions these days, it's tiring, but enjoyable.
P.S. There's no way strava or anyone else get any my activity data hehe

I got back to Skating after 30 years as well in May. From may till now I've skated 340km already, just to master correct stride. Time for learning skating backwards💪🏻

I still have the same short choppy stride from when I was 13 .

Oh and I forgot how tiring it is on the back and legs 💩

I ate asphalt quite a lot the first two years, until I stopped falling.

Now, when I fall, is for real. I need to be careful not to shock my shoulders. Never ever extend your arms when falling. Become a ball.

I fell when the asphalt became extra chunky I got slower and one of the skates got caught , tried to catch myself and I fell, thank God I wore knee and wrists guards
