Skating Journey Day 2

I fell today! That was my goal for the day.

The fear of the first fall is the worst. Once you take that fall and realize it isn't so bad everything gets so much easier. I skated outside for the first time. When I skated years ago I only skated at indoor rinks, so I was excited to get my skates outside.

I also learned a cool way to lace up my skates to help my wide feet from cramping. Shout out to @rollie.skate on Instagram for the awesome blog post about lacing options.

Enjoy these terrible photos of me from the worst angle because I was skating alone.

Skating Journal: Day 54

I did a little bit of skating in my house yesterday, but I'm not counting that as a day. I only counted the house session the other day because of unlocking a new trick. I did have a good time though - my new wheels were so slidey!

Today I was able to go to the outdoor rink (my beloved). There were already a few skaters there when I got there, which was really exciting! I was too shy to talk to them, though. I always worry about coming off as aloof, but really I'm just nervous.

I did kind of want to keep to myself though, because it's been way too long since I've gotten to just skate around to my own music. I had thought about doing some drills, but mostly I just skated around in a circle - again, it's been too long since I've gotten to just flow. And my body could also tell it had been too long, because oh my gosh my leg muscles have gotten weaker. I undid and redid my trucks on my left skate before going out today = I'm not sure if it helped. My left leg is just really atrophied I think, especially my hip flexor (the usual culprit). My stamina was also shot - I got tired out really easily and had to take a few long breaks. I tried to do a manual at one point and my legs were just too damn tired. But I still had a good time!

There were a few other quad skaters and one inliner when I arrived. Some other inline skaters and a BMX biker showed up while I was there. The inline skaters seemed pretty new, which is exciting - I like to see new people getting into the hobby! The BMXer was doing some really cool stuff - he did this trick where he basically made his bike do a cartwheel while he was standing on the little outcroppings in the middle? I dunno, it was neat.

I took a while to warm up. It's always kind of frustrating to me that by the time I'm warmed up and ready to really skate, that's about when I have to go. Today was no different. But I did get some transition practice in. My wheels were not nearly as slidey on the concrete than on my hardwood floor at home, so stuff that had been easy when I was messing around at home was much harder today. Also, wow, every single little crack felt so much bigger than it does on my Pulse wheels! I really wan tto try going to a skating rink sometime. Getting to slide around on wood floors with more space than my living room seems so fun. Transitions on the concrete were more difficult than they were at home, and I was really in my head for a lot of my session today so it was tough to commit. But eventually I loosened up a little bit and was able to better get the hang of doing transitions where I had my wheels sliding around.

After practicing transitions for a bit, I was resting near the other quad skaters. They invited me to their groupchat, which is another local skate meetup chat - different than the local discord I'm in. I was excited though because i actually knew a couple people in this thread through completely other means. I'm always happy to get new skating friends so I'm really glad they invited me!

Overall today was a really good day. It did prove to me that I need to get out and skate more often in order to keep my leg strength up. So I'm looking forward to skating even more!

I have his helmet and skates done but the body, chest armor, and hands are all still placeholders, and i haven't started any of the jersey/pants/socks parts, and my own dumb art might be cracking me up a little bit

#Journal shit #the skates are too big i think #his legs will never be finished #but the torso maybe #starting on the face and its giving me anxiety #like worst thing that can happen is it doesnt work #so why am i so scared of starting???

Skating Journey Day 1

I started skating again. It has been close to 8 years since I've skated. I'm excited but also scared. I was not very good when I skated years ago and I'm easily 40+ lbs heavier now. Eeeekkk I just want to still to it.

#i had a long ass post typed out for this but it's a bit much so imma just type it here instead: #i'm very lucky and blessed to have friends who make plans to hang out with me with the intent of catering to MY interests #like im being so serious that my friends will take me to art museums and bookstores and cafes and roller skating and ice skating #just bc they know i'd love it :') #and yes they love it as well or else they wouldn't put up w it but it means a lot that they ask me specifically to come with #like being in this life where i'm not some random second choice or like... where people actually WANT to hang out w me... #that means a lot #and i'm comforted w the fact that i know exactly where i stand w my friends just from that intention #Sandy rambling #honestly idk if that made sense bc im literally so sleepy and this is my third time trying to put this into words #but that's it for now. ill journal about it later #when it's not 4am

All the months between October and April can gargle my nuts. And hell, the first half of April can swish me.

Spring can't come fast enough, I'm dying over here.

this year, I have decided to simply refuse to let my fear of imperfection get in the way of me starting new hobbies. Things don't have to be good for me to enjoy them, I can be terrible at them and still have fun.

#i'm starting a journal #because I've always wanted too and never have before because i was always worried it would turn out ugly #and also I'm going to finally use to roller skates I got two years ago and attempted once

This is my scrap/collage of From Lukov with Love. Honestly, I was a little dissapointed with this book. As a former rollerskater I was expecting more drama related to the roller-skating world (like unfair competition/scores, an unexpected fall, that they made an unexpected/difficult move, etc.)

I've been watching a lot of skating content recently and kinda wanna get back into skating but as a commute since i walk 2+ miles daily between home/class/work.

Why is the only decent detachable skate platform for shoes $500? I would kill someone for something like Flaneurz that isn't so expensive.
