I Love Rollerskating

my rollerskates

i skate with my purple jackson vistas with cutesie yellow laces for the contrast. they are amazing, and i 100% recommend and LOVE them!
i removed the toe stops they came with and replaced them with some jam plugs so i can do some more tricks. they were just sure grip jam plugs i think, i dont really remember

2024 recap and 2025 goals

in 2024, i really amped up my skating ! i got some really good quality, cute looking skates, started practicing a lot more tricks and other things than just front skating and turning, and i learned how to do things i never thought i could do !

ive learned (and pretty much perfected) backwards skating, figured out how to spin (mostly) safely, got a lot more comfortable on my skates, and figured out how to efficiently stop without toe stops (including t stop, plow stop, turn stop, spread eagle, backwards pivot... um probably others Idk). overall, i've improved a lot over 2024, and i hope to keep getting better in 2025 !!

i really want to built up strength in my legs and flexibility so i can attempt some more strength based tricks like shooting the duck and other close-to-floor moves that require you to hold your weight on one leg and crouch to the ground.


im kind of upset i havent really kept up this page as well as i'd like, but i have definitely kept up with my skating ! so even if i haven't posted on here in a long time, rest assured i am still skating :)

august 9 - skating at the rink!

went fro like 4 and a half hours again.. but this time it was . Kinda mid...
idk everything was the same but i just wasnt feeling it ! there were a lot of really talented people doing SUPER COOL tricks though. it was a cool time ! but i am tired.. last rink skate of the summer :(

august 6 - skating at the rink!

my feet hurt sooo bad ! went skating for four and a half hours again, and it was so much fun !! my feet r just KILLING MEEE but whatever...
i started working on backwards @ the rink a little bit, but it was freaky !! im getting better at it though ! the smooth floor is just sooo weird. idk how im gonna get used to that after being used to hardwood floors and parking lot pavement LOL !

august 3 - skating at the rink!

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS PAGE.... UMMM.... thats why there have been no updates LOL ! ive been skating a lot at rinks lately bc its too hot outside and hardwood floors arent cutting it for me
today i skated for almost 5 hours at the rink !! wow !!! it was great, but my feet r KILLINGGG me rn. i had such a great time ! it was pretty busy though, which is normal and expected on a saturday. might go tuesday just to have a Less Crowded experience LOL !
also, i Unfortunately am TOO SCARED to try any tricks or FLair at rinks because there r too many people and 1) i dotn wanna hurt anyone and 2) I .. um . I dont wanna be embarassed if i fall LOL !

general update

even though my last update was like.. a MONTH ago i've still been skating basically everyday ! ive gotten pretty good at spinning, and its honestly pretty easy! i am doing pretty good at back crossovers too. not much (any..) progress on shooting the duck but i'll take what i can get, ya know? i need to stretch more to get better at that, but ive bene forgetting a lot. my feet have been hurting a lot more recently too, which really REALLY sucks
im gonna try and update more on here, but i hope yall know i havent stopped skating ! ive just kinda stopped updating lol

may 31 - skating at home

havent been updating here a lot, but still been skating for like at least an hour every day ! i can feel my leg muscles getting stronger, and i feel SO MUCH MORE comfortable spinning ! not always the best at it, but can at least do 360s without falling on the ground (i can stabilize myself !!). havent made much progress on shooting the duck tho.... So....

may 25 - skating at home

getting really REALLY good at backwards ! and pivot circles (i think thats what theyre called? dig ur toe stop in the ground and spin other foot in circle LOL) are super easy now ! getting less afraid of falling, and getting better AT falling which im super glad abt ! have a lot of mini bruises on my knees now tho :(

may 19 - skating at home

first time using my fancy skates @ home and they were so nice !!! unfortunately the weather is already too hot for me to skate outside :( oh well. getting better at spinning ! not making much progress on pistol squat/shooting the duck tho, but thats more strength stuff. cant even do that off skates yet ! hopefully ill get better at that soon

very great skating weather. not too hot, but not too cold either, with a LOVELY breeze that really elevated the experience. i think ive perfected the skating playlist... really amazing stuff. lady gaga is SO good to skate to

april 28 - skating at the school parking lot

kinda bad honestly... SO hot out ngl and there were too many people, i felt like i was being watched... and the pavement was so cracked and i felt unsafe skating there LOL ! it was also too hot for me to put on my Elbow Guards so i didnt feel safe in that regard either..
