Skate Movies
What movie(s) first got you interested in Skating? For me, and I'm dating myself a bit here, it was Xanadu and Roller Boogie. I can also remember seeing Gregory Hines skating in The Muppets Take Manhattan, although I believe Miss Piggy skated more than he did in that movie,😁.

Who knows you skate?
I’m pretty sure everyone at work knows I roller skate, I worked with many of the people at a previous job, and I used to skate pretty openly in the office. I also post to IG and YouTube, mainly because my IG is connected to Facebook and my boss is my friend there, and when I’m in an every day challenge it’s best not to show how much I’m skating, maybe I’m over thinking things 😂. Today I saw a fun activity to try with AI. Prompting ChatGPT the following: “Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like.” The attached is what came out. While I don’t have any white skates, everything else is pretty accurate, ok, and I don’t have a body that looks good with large belts, but I do wear a lot of black. The AI even has a pretty good representation of my son. The husband is off, but the bikes are accurate 😂. Anyone else want to try?

I remember working at Radio Shack in 1995. We had to inventory the store periodically and myself and another employee would wear our roller blades to expedite moving around the store to catalog everything. I do not talk as openly about skating anymore, but a fair amount know that I am skating. I’ve since transitioned to quads over blades though.

30 Day Skate Challenge
Who's down to do a 30 day skate challenge? 30 days of putting your skates on for at least 15-20min and practicing something/anything, even if it's just straight up balancing drills. It's Monday, and there's no day like Today to start something new. I'm working a 10 hr shift but brought my skates into work to put on during my lunch hr. If anyone would like to do their own 30 Day Challenge, let me know. I would love to share some accountability and encouragement 🙏😊

@Isabel Mitzen I started a list about a year ago before a pretty significant fall. This is my current to-do list or what I refer to as my skate progression Skating Progression Shuffle/Slide Walk (V) Cross Slide (A) Stepouts Crossover Spread Eagle Pivots Crab Walk The Hez Downtown Dribbles Crescent Step Barrel Roll Snake walk I know the terms are not the same for everyone, but I know where to look on YouTube to figure out my short hand.

@Isabel Mitzen I’m working from shuffles down to crab walks. I’ve been off for a while and just working the basics to recondition myself. That being said I’m also working my toe-toe manuals and adding some spin work. The space I’m working in is fairly small, but I’m making it work and still doing what I can. In my head the manuals are my biggest hurdle. I’m struggling with my balance. Also I have issues with external rotation in my hips from years of contact sports and martial arts, so spread eagle is almost nonexistent. I have to tell myself I’m not 20 anymore and joints just don’t work the same.

We will hit #1 eventually but thank you all for bring such good energy to this place.🤗 Lets continue to grow our skate movement until the whole world is on skates😆🕺🏽

Currently doing a 30 challenge. It’s been a while since I’ve skated, so I’m easing back in. I have a list of things I’m working on, so I put in my earbuds and turn on a 30 minute podcast and go until the podcast is over.
