Glad it was helpful! What others challenges have you ran into when getting back into roller skating after a long break?

Wow, thanks so much for such an encouraging comment, it really means a lot to us!

So glad it could help!

Hope it helps! And thank you :D

You don’t really need to have all 8 wheels on the ground at once and be in that 180 degree position to do a transition effectively. Combine pivoting on 2 wheels + picking up your feet quicker. For example, transitioning from forwards to backwards, turning left, you would pick up and place your left foot turned to the back while pivoting on the front 2 wheels of your right foot, and then quickly picking it up. It takes some practice! For side stance skating, a deeper bend in your knees can really help. Often with “turnout” limitations it’s a combination of flexibility and strength in your external rotator muscles.
