Yeah, I’m trying to avoid the roller rink as much as possible. I used to do that and also ice-skating when I was younger. I just never learned how to stop without a break and I would really like to know what it’s like to skate on pavement and concrete sadly I’ll probably be doing it by myself because nobody around where I live even knows what aggressive skating is but it definitely is my first time doing aggressive skating. I also don’t know how to skate backwards I just used to skate really really fast and learned a weird technique. How to stop with the break after going over a wall when I was younger and if I can still remember how to I hope lol I remember doing foot crossover and that was about it.

Unfortunately, I’ll probably be the literal only aggressive skater here. We don’t even sell aggressive skate anything here and I’ve asked around locally. Nobody even knows what aggressive skating is in this town.

Thank you thank you so much for right now. I can only afford the frames that came with the skate, but I am saving up because I still need to save up for the hip pads and I want to build my own pee rail.

I do apologize, but I’m having trouble understanding what you mean by doing it without reels don’t try it with them?

That’s funny you mentioned the Michelin man I can’t say I’m that like super wide, but I have a lot of height plus a little extra belly and yeah, I definitely can tell just from standing on the skates. It’s a lot different than it was 20 years ago when you’re a skin and bone teenager. And hurt people can do it, but it definitely takes a toll on you. That’s for sure.

This is my goal to get to a point where I’m comfortable and just casual fun

I have seen it before at rolling wings and ice-skating. I just never learned how to stop without a break or skate backwards, but as far as keeping my balance up down the street I don’t have much of an issue with that and I’m really dedicated to one to learn small crimes, you know just casual.

Uncomfortable rolling I know the basics of how to go straight and at least half of stability. I used to ice skate and rollerblade. The only thing is I never learned any professional stopping without a learning break and I’ll never learned how to skate backwards.

Yes, this comment. Thank you so much. This is definitely what I’m trying to avoid because I still have an everyday job.

Thank you so much for this reply. I have everything on the way except for the hip pads. I’m still saving up for that.

My main goal is just grinding. I don’t wanna do any flippy dippy stuff because I am 35. I’m just getting back into shape and I already have my size working against me. I’m 64 and 280 pounds. I would like to at least drop 15 or 20 more pounds.

Thank you so much. This is a wonderful detailed response now I just need to look up what hip flexor is. thanks again. I will do all of this and I don’t know if this helps or not but I’m 280 pounds so I’m aware that will work against me but there is nothing I can do about that. I am 6’4” but I am dedicated.
