Skating on the Planet


Recommended Posts

Today I managed my first backspins on the spinner that had more than 2 revs and that I didn't fall out of! I just got too slow and had to stop spinning. I am not quite there yet but yay I had like 5 revs on one. Just when I started telling myself that I will never learn backspins :tumblr_inline_mqt4grU8ua1qz4rgp:

I also did some regular spins but I'm scared to go all out on them bc of my ankle. Maybe not yet

Are you going to be in the city? :10636614:

Not sure, might be. :D Someone recommended Dawn, I heard she was very picky about technique...

Backspins seem scary but I'm sure you'll get there! Being able to do them on the spinner is impressive, I still haven't figured out how to use it at all.

I started working on them too but I'm so lazy to practice them bc struggling is no fun lol

When were spins ever fun :rofl: My motivation is that backspins are beneficial for jumps. I think my flip will need the practice lol

Can you ask coaches and other skaters about good skate techs? My coach told me to get fitted by a particular tech because most of her skaters have had good experiences with him, for example. 

 

Ah, that's what I was aiming for, but it turns out Edea isn't really right for my feet... It was a pity because I wanted to avoid the break-in period.

There’s not really any options to choose from for me, at least not within reasonable distance so I just gotta hope for the best with the guy at our rink :tumblr_inline_mzx8s4JRlX1r8msi5:

Why aren’t they for your feet? I am also thinking about Edeas 

 

eta: And I just called and they don't even have Edeas or Risport Royals there :13877886:

They only have Jackson Freestyles and RF3s. Both not stiff enough for me...

They said they can order whatever I need but I can't try them on.... If I order them there it will be more expensive than online but they are the only people who could mount blades for me so i'll have to take that offer

 

I wanna move countries
