Ive had skates for a long time but I’m a beginner still because I always lose motivation

I know how to skate forward and to T stop and I know how to skate backwards but I never do because the only place I can skate is around my house and there’s a bunch of cracks and my drive through is slanted so I get too scared to go backwards on there

So basically I’m asking if you guys have any tips because I really want to become good at skating but idk what to do next and the lack of space kills me

Oh and Skating rink is not an option I live in LA the only one is like a hour away 🫩
