There have been skaters talking about SkateLove Barcelona, Dallas SK8 Fair etc. You may be wondering how do you even find out about these parties? Outside of following them on social media this is the #1 place to go for all things international skate party: https://skategroove.com/skatejamz.htm

It's time to level up and I've decided to try spinning for the first time. I've heard that the heel toe is a great beginner spin, so I've been dissecting a few turorials so I can start practicing at the rink. Instructions for spinning toward the left are that you are on your Left Toe and Right Back wheels. So as I'm watching one tutorial the instructor says that if you break it down it's really a combination of two spins, a LIB and a RIF. Let me tell you, I was like wait, what? I thought we were on the left toes, how is it I need to put pressure on the left inner back wheels?? I was so confused. The abbreviation didn't match the image I had created in my head for how to do the turn (drawing), and it took me a few minutes to work out that the abbreviation is for L-which leg I- which edge B-which DIRECTION (not which wheel to put pressure on) Anyway... That led me down a rabbit hole for skate dance diagram terms and abbreviations and I thought I'd share. Sometimes it really is the littlest things that trip us up😅 https://skatedancediagrams.weebly.com/diagram-terms--abreviations.html

I made this nutrition guide to share with my SK8 fam. This is meant to be a simple resource for improving your overall health and fitness so that you feel like your best self when it's time to lace up. This guide was inspired by my personal fitness and SK8 journey, as well as my time in the Air Force as a Chef and fitness Specialist. Learning over time, the different foods to stay healthy and get some gains. I will release a video about this today for Day 54 of 100-day Skate School. Feel free to comment any thoughts or feedback!🕺🏽
