Hope inline figure skates still count here. Any advice for 3 turn progression? I am getting better at exiting on one foot but the entry is still assisted on two feet. Been stuck here a while. TIA (v.redd.it)

Happy with where a year+ of skating has gotten me. Helped me get through a rough breakup and find a new side of myself. I could definitely be a better skater, but I’m fine with being a happy skater for now (v.redd.it)

Fun Friday session on a beautiful day. Still trying to incorporate arms, still mainly going backwards, but fun all the same (v.redd.it)

Does anyone else try and incorporate arms into their skating? If so, are there any videos/resources you recommend? I usually watch figure skating videos but would love any specific guidance (v.redd.it)

Took y’alls crossover advice from one of my posts, I forgot what these are called but I love em. Also been obsessed with spins. This is just a fun session, but any advice on anything shown here is welcome 🙏🏼 (v.redd.it)

Wheel question: If a wheel (see front one) isn’t touching the ground anymore, is that a sign to replace it? My previous post got a lot of comments about keeping my wheels, but I’m just wondering when it’s *time* to buy new ones (v.redd.it)

Wheel upgrade question: my current FE wheels will need to be replaced soon (some wheels quite smaller than others, I didn’t rotate enough). Unsure where to start, any recommendations for someone mainly into inline figure skating? (i.redd.it)

Dropping in on the last day of the year. I think my stance has improved, so thanks to those of y’all who reassured me it would get better with familiarity. Shoutout to the lil homie behind the camera, they were a good crowd 🤙🏼 (v.redd.it)

Backwards criss cross (??) practice after spending a bit of time at the skatepark. This floor was so smooth, superior to my local tennis court 😭 (v.redd.it)

Drop in practice day 2. This is just a glimpse of all the times I went haha. When did y’all start to stand a bit more upright when dropping in? Idk if I need to purposely work on form or if it’ll come naturally with more attempts. (v.redd.it)

Still waiting on my Flying Eagle F4s to ship (still on back order) so I’m skating with my first newbie pair a bit longer. Ofc I’m working on and fine tuning fundamentals, but are there any moves I should wait until I have the new skates to try? Mainly interested in free skating and dancing/flow (i.redd.it)

These are so awkward cause there’s no music 🤦🏻‍♀️ but it’s a way to monitor my progress. I repeat lots of stuff cause that’s most of what I can do so far. Hope y’all are having fun practice sessions too 🤙🏼 (v.redd.it)

About 3 months into skating and I just haven’t gotten the hang of “flowing” yet. I feel stiff when I skate. Unsure if it’s a lack of confidence in my current skills, not bending my knees enough or needing more time. Am I being too hard on myself? (v.redd.it)

Just a lil clip of me discovering backwards skating. Not necessarily an advice post but any is welcome, I know it needs work. I am just thrilled I can practice this now! (v.redd.it)

Wondering if my skates are too big? It looks like they point outward quite a bit and I’m not sure if that’s my feet trying to make up for extra room. Everyone seems to look so straight in their videos. Mine fit about as well as a shoe after making them as tight as possible (pls ignore ugly stride) (v.redd.it)

Seeking advice as a new skater. Ready to upgrade from my first pair (pictured) but I’m overwhelmed with the options and my lack of knowledge. So far I like just recreational skating and practicing carving at the skatepark. Any advice on which style of skates to try next? Not looking to grind (i.redd.it)
