    Love the way you teach! I am past middle age (65) and back on my skates after (ahem) a few years. It is amazing what muscle memory can do...but I also have to rebuild some of those muscles! Also, I am a little more careful as I skate (especially outside) and wear my wrist guards in the rink and full pads, guards and helmet outside. But I tell you, the therapeutic part of it is still amazing! Thank you for your teaching!

    I love yu!! You truly r the OG!! I live in upstate ny and sadly there are very few places to get ya rolla on!:(. Someone did open up a rink last November, but why why there is no wooden floor?!?! Idk why. It’s this weird blu-ish, plastic-ey stuff. Slick as💩 but not a true rink in my eyes. My dream is to someday make it out your way and skate there. Getting back into it after years, got into it , three years ago I got in car accident then had some weird medical thing where I couldn’t walk for two weeks. Id even know what that was about but I just got a new pair of good skates and I’m going where I can. Your videos are so so so helpful. My pandemic time was spent working and working. I had no option for self isolation and staying home. But now I’m going skating each chance I can. You are the queen!! Ty for all your talent and your time and education in a way that doesn’t make people want to nap !!!! Love you!

    love love love this - right now i am trying to figure out the grapevine, but outside of that, i want to get a smooth backwards to forwards transition , for when im vibin and skating slower, and one for when i have a bit more speed -
    i know to go on the outside edge of say, the left foot while going backwards, while picking up the right, turning head, shoulders, hips then putting right foot down - but sometimes i feel like im going to fast to do that and need like a quick turn , or pivot or something - idk , but a vid on that or just tips in comments would be wonderful

    • @jessgirr1728
      @jessgirr1728 Месяц назад

      My favorite way to go backwards to forwards at speed is a 180 jump. It sounds intimidating and looks impressive but it's actually easy and super simple. No footwork to get lost in. Just a clean jump.

    I'm trying to practice switching sides. I don't do very well at skating to the right. My struggle seems to be getting the proper balance and it feels very awkward. And I do feel myself gripping my toes into my skate to feel like I am more in control. I do have the proper size skates. But because I am really nervous about falling and turning corners, I think my natural reaction is to grip really hard with my toes. I will try this the next time I go out. I've only just found a decent place to skate, so it's really the first time since I started re-learning to skate back in June of last year, that I actually have any room to skate at all.
