5 Things I Learned After 1 Year of Roller Skating 

RIGHT!! I feel so silly watching it but I go in so much more motivated 😍

Yup!

her voice is so soothing

awesome

same here, 42 years old and just bought a pair of rainbow riders! I can do this, it might hurt a little but I know I will get there

Wow, i am 47…used to skate everyday outside and like four time a week at the rink where i grew up…but honestly have not been in anything apart from flip flops and trainers in decades. Even gave up heels a long time ago. I feel you… As a kid i tested the general understandings of gravity on the daily…total fearless brat but now, i can attest to the harshness gravity can dish out. Best of luck on your journey, i just started my 365 and am having a blast everyday.

48 years old and for the first time in 30 years, went outside for 30 minutes and roller skated. Had the best workout and felt free like a bird. Just do it. You won't regret it.

Same Amy! I'm nearing 43 and I've just picked up skating in may this year and I'm OBESSESED!!!! I love it soooo much! I'm hopefully going to get my own pair of skates in the next few weeks instead of hiring them. Lots more opportunities to practice and advance. I'm sooo excited!!!! 😊😊🥳🥳🥳

Y’all these comments made my whole day ! I’m 49 and just ordered me and my 30 year old daughter a pair of moxi roller skates for Christmas! We don’t have a lot of money or time so what we do have I want to make it special ! I couldn’t think of a better way to share our life together! We both love to kayak but can’t do that all year . I was so worried I was to old to skate again . I was worried I waisted my money ! I was worried I possibly ruined Christmas! And now I CANT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS! I can’t wait to give her her skates ! I can’t wait to hit the downtown streets and see if this old mom can still roll around ! I’m going to start the 365 challenge with her and I can’t wait to report about how much fun we had and thank you all again for reminding me yiur only as old as you think you are ! Thanks ladies !

You go Dawn! Did you end up committing to the 365?

I hope the beach bunnies are everything you hoped they would be! I really wanted a pair but they have been so out for months so I bought the cheaper rainbow riders.

Do you stretch before you skate? Stretching for about 5min def helped me

Don’t be hard on yourself! How long do your sessions usually last? Are you wearing protective gear to help you feel a little more confident?(:

@@EvelynIvyy They usually last around 10-15 minutes unless I happen to fall. If I do fall I feel anxious and just stop and go home. I need to push myself this year to not quit after I fall, just take a break for a few minutes and get my bearings and then try again. I do wear protective gear, although I do need better wrist guards as the ones I have are too big. My fear is my biggest enemy right now. I'll push through it eventually.

@@weasleygurl26 Oof believe me I feel the same way. My obstacle is fear (social anxiety). When I get my first pair of skates I'll definitely be skating inside my house/garage for comfort and practice. Once I feel ready enough, going outside and skating in public will be an obstacle. But I believe in you! You have a long life ahead of learning and building that confidence! Don't give up! Anyone can skate (big, curvy, skinny, petite, young, old) and everyone learns at their own pace.

It’s not because you’re out of shape. It’s the fear that’s making you out of balance. You are shaky and ur body needs to be at ease to flow on wheels. Bend your knees And kind of sit back. You will be more at balance and the lower you are, the less hard you’ll fall. Bending low and having protective gear (please do get better wrist guards !) will be a breeeeze when u fall. Shoot I even bought padded underwear so when I fall on my butt 😆 The way that I gain confidence was skating through pathways at the Park that had grass on both sides. It removes the mental blockage of fearing the fall on concrete. Skating on pathways is great because you can just jump on the grass when you feel uneasy. And sometimes, depending on your reflexes, you can fall onto the grass and it’s great! Good luck!

Happy skating!! 🤩

Start small, small goal still count! Challenge yourself to at least lace up your skates, if that’s all your body will do that day it’s okay (: try again tomorrow! Reflect on what kind of skater you strive to be one day!

❤️

You have been very much missed!! I am so happy to see you checked in 😭 I cannot wait to see you back on your skates!😍 I also can’t wait for moxi skate camp to happen after this pandemic is under control so we finally get a chance to skate and learn together!🤗💖

@@EvelynIvyy it would be a dream to meet you!!! 😍 Be well my friend!

Have you tried signing up for a Moxi Virtual Skate Shop? It might make it a little easier!

I couldn't agree more 😆

Lol

I started inline skating when I was 19, but I really wasn't very focused at that age and I moved to another town, and now I'm going to start skating again at 23! But I'm studying a lot before. And I'm going to buy roller skates soon :D

skated as a kid over thirty years ago. I am 42 and bought a pair of rainbow riders. I remember how exhilarating skating felt so can't wait for that again. it's great exercise and low impact. Where can i get those light up wheels Evelyn Ivyy?

I've been skating for 6 months now! My friend invited me to the roller rink, and at first I hated it since I was on blades but they gave me a pair of skates and it was one of the best feelings! ⊂(・▽・)⊃

try derby warehouse, they are the only place i've found that not everything is sold out!

Awesome! Thank you for the support! What skate model did you buy?

@@moxiskates i bought the bunnies 🐰. I was born for these!

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Those knee injuries are painful😭💖

checking in on your knee recovery... have you put skates back on yet?

@@chromecuty my knee is doing a lot better I’m starting to get back to my normal activities such as dance but I haven’t found the confidence to put my skates back on
