I went to a Derby practice this morning. It was fun even though I'm light-years behind the other skaters as far as skill goes. One person took me to the side when the group did things I wasn't ready for and helped me improve on some things. She told me to get low, keep my eyes on her, turn more... It was so helpful! It's exactly what I'd hoped for.
Most of the other skaters weren't wearing heeled skates so I think it's time for me to try out these bad boys. I think they'll help me stay low because I'm likely to fall on my ass if I don't. 😂 I put hybrid wheels on these because I'm too nervous to change to an entirely different skate with super hard wheels. I'm planning to take these to the park tomorrow and see how I do. If I can stay upright I'm going to work on my T-stop and transitions like I learned today.
These are my freebies from eBay. I got my new laces and added the toe-guard as well as the mustache that Shaun got me for my birthday. I think they're adorable and I'm pretty excited to see how they do / I do in them. 😁
