Thoughts on butt pads?
I know we all have to practice our falls to get better. But has anybody here ever had a traumatic experience falling on your tailbone or is it not as bad as I think it is? Haha Iโ€™ve hurt my tailbone where it hurts to sit for long periods of time & then getting up from that position, but thatโ€™s the worst it has gotten so far which is pretty tolerable. Iโ€™m just scared it could be worse. I am pretty short in height so practicing falls hasnโ€™t been easy & I feeeeel like my height plays a factor but I dk. Iโ€™ve been wearing a booty pad when I practice in private. Does anybody else do this, or has falling on your butt while practicing falls hasnโ€™t been thattt bad?

@Linh Nguyen hi there, I was taught in a beginner class to squat into a cannonball while rolling lean to one side and pick a butt cheek to slide out on. We drilled this til it became second nature
Drilling rhythm move from Day44!
Hey all. So my home is pretty small and I have only one area to practice in. Iโ€™ve been attempting some of the dance moves from Day44! This is my attempt at move 4 - Iโ€™m not travelling much but really happy that I can finally swirl both hips. Itโ€™s not quite smooth yet and a bit rocky but progress right! ๐Ÿ˜œ

@Nina Smith Thank you! I totally get being nervous about recording yourself, also doing things wrong in front of other, feeling awkward, clumsyโ€ฆ I feel all of this, list is endless ๐Ÿคฃ Maybe try recording just for yourself at first just for a record of journey!

Personalized skates
Hi! So I was wondering what have you done to your skates so far to adapt them to your style and make them more unique or pimp them, I would love to see some pics!

@Jeff Goggin ok you win, these are just fantastic!
What's your skate name?
Has anyone chosen or been given a skate name? Maybe I chose mine as a self fulfilling mantra. "Auntie Slipp" I look at that name on my skate case before putting my skates on every time (left foot first always!) in hopes of a relatively safe skate, free of falls, anti slip. Keep the rubber side down ๐Ÿ›ผ๐Ÿ›ผ

Practicing drills w/o skates
Which drills (without skates) do you guys like to do or have done that you found was beneficial when translating to skates, especially as a beginner?

Like what others say - practice in socks the one foot balance, one foot pivots but also the crab walk. Did this move on repeat lots to just allow it to be natural and build muscle memory ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿฆถ๐Ÿ›ผ
