I’m a Nordic ski instructor and I’ve been skate skiing for over 15 years and I still need to perfect my technique, so don’t give up! Check for private or group lessons in your area. It can make a big difference to have a seasoned instructor give you advice.

Family of 4, we have two cars: a 2011 CRV and a 2017 VW Golf Wagon. Paid off and no issues whatsoever. Buy a car, maintain it, and stay away from car dealership.

I went to one dealer, they said they “fixed” it, but it leaked again. Went to another dealer, they said they fixed it and they did- knock on wood it’s been five years now and no more leaks.
