March 5, 20188 yr Sorry to break the professional skater streak with my n00b skating experiences I swear when I'll get the money I'll start taking classes... Yesterday I went skating with my friends and I got helped by two serious people to start trying to do a spin (without being able to do three-turns or controlling my edges well, lol), which I didn't really succeed in (yet), but there was a funny moment. I was trying to do a basic RFI entry on two feet, but I didn't have enough initial push and lost my balance easily. So one of the two skaters who helped me guided my movements, "pulled" me which gave me the push I needed, and I entered the spin so nicely! It made me feel as if it's not like I can't do stuff because I am no good and skating is not for me, but because I have no one teaching me the right technique... (Three turns still feel impossible tho)

(Three turns still feel impossible tho) Well that takes guts. Usually what happens when I offer to pull someone for a spin practice, even if the skater knows how to do 2 foot spins or 1 foot spins is like this: Me: Well I can help pull you to get into the circle for the spin- Rinkmate: No no no Me: You sure? It might help... Rinkmate: Positive, I might fall if you pull me. It's too scary. Me: o_O

Me: o_O I am a person who trusts easily especially if the person helping me knows what they're doing... plus, I know that if I don't get anything wrong/if I don't fall, I won't learn a thing, so I am motivated by that!

Yessss that's the way to go. Only way to make fast process is to let yourself fall LOL
