    Coming from an expert skater, it is good to learn how to proficiently skate forwards and backwards first. Then you go into transitioning from front to back and then back to front. Then you move into balancing on your heels and toes. Then you move into spins (heel-toe and then toe spins). After all of that, you can start into more advanced moves like pivots and other moves you want to learn. It will take awhile so be patient.
    I have many people coming up to me asking me to teach them moves but can't do the basics. It took some of us 5, 10, 15 years to get to this point. It won't happen over night but you have to practice continuously to get better.

      This is so wild since in America it’s so normal to pay $20 on a Friday night to skate with a ton of people on the same in the same area. You can skate in the middle of the flore if you’re a beginner. It’s certainly not ideal for beginners. You can’t go there everyday because it may be closed and it’s expensive.

      For anyone who believes that you forget how to do things, always keep this in Mind; even when you stop doing something you've done for a very long Time, your body doesn't completely forget, believe it or not.
      As someone who has been skating on and off for more than 22+ years, your Mind & Body still retains a little of that knowledge you've had for years. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

    Quick Notes:
    1. Weight Placement (Good Posture)--Slowly Squat downward while practicing balancing from left to right.
    2. Lay an egg-- while feet snake out as going into a squat.
    3. Bubbles- While skating backwards cross one foot over the other.
    4. 2 ways to stop
    5. No front wheels
    6. Skate with one foot in front of the other...
