🚨 New Feature 🚨 Member Map!
I recently invested in creating a member map for our community. Many people have joined looking to connect with fellow skaters, but they might not know where to start or may feel uncomfortable asking questions publicly in the group. While organizing meetups can be a hassle, the member map makes it much easier for us to share our locations and plan events together. Click the " 📍🗺️ Member Map 🗺️📍" button or right here to add yourself to the map! <---- There's no need to provide exact addresses unless you prefer to, but knowing that someone is in your city would be fantastic as we continue to grow. This map will also help me see where most of our members are for a possible tour. 😬

Footwork Drills - No Skates
I have the hardest time following routines that include moves I haven’t mastered individually. I’m slow. I need it broken down for me. Anyone willing to post any off-skate footwork drills? I’ve been working on pivots off skates. I think more will help.

I've been meaning to do more of that too. Here are a couple vids I found. Funny enough, some skaters I follow have lots of vids drilling in just socks but I can't seem to find those specifically in searches 🤔 SO let's consider this a starting point 😊 https://youtu.be/rXE8ViJdtjg?si=e4ct1hObO-rTRDuc https://youtu.be/mcSEc56wotM?si=ob10fA65iob7Mqv3
I have a Plan…
I have a plan…no idea how I’m going to execute. I guess I should start with drilling 2 per week. If I can get all 5 of these down by the end of the year, I’ll be cooking with grease 👍🏾❣️👍🏾❣️😳 -single foot pivot -sweep -1/4 turn -eagle spread transition -Barrel roll

@Victoria Kirby agreed. It’s the balancing part that gets me. Especially pivoting from front to back (toe to heel). I can pivot on two feet all day long on both sides but I get all “deer in headlights” on one foot.
Practice
How much practice time are yall getting every week? I skate for a couple of hours usually around 3 times a week, but i always want to skate more!! haha

I make a best effort to do 3x/week for about an hour and a half each. Usually I do 2 days outdoor and then one at the rink. Reading through some of the other comments, this seems to be good number. About 1/3 the time I drill and practice new stuff leaving 2/3 to just get into it and do my thing =D
Floor Tiles
Hey y’all 🤗 My apartment has this PERFECT room for skating practice (it’s actually a yoga room lol) and they OK’d me to practice there, but their only concern is possible floor damage... Does anyone have any suggestions for rollerskating floor tiles or any other form of protectant? I don’t want to risk getting fined for possibly scratching their laminate floors. Thanks in advance 🥰

Hi @Dominique Dunaway Here's what I bought on recommendation from a local skate coach. https://a.co/d/9tglGdD You can order based on the size you need. But you may still need to laythem over a blanket/drop cloth so they don't scratch anything that may get you in trouble.
