1 Year of Roller Skating

[@bawnfordays73]

When I was younger (10) I used to roller skate everyday after school. I LOVED it so much. I am now 48 years old and plan to return to skating next year(2022). Your video is an inspiration.

[@caroh3158]

Love it! I used to skate all the time too as a kid, when I was 8. My new years resolution is to start skating again. Buying my first pair this saturday after 30 years. 🙌🏽

[@rikawrites7104]

YES YESSS YOU GOOO !!!!!!

[@mamatajci]

This is my story, too! So I bought a pair in March but they're quite different from the ones I had as a child. I have just turned 47, but the enjoyment is the same.

[@loonaoutdid]

Im 13 but my mom skating too and shes turning 42 this year

[@daniellemaccarthy7404]

have you done it? !! xx

[@RB-ec3bx]

I JUST started skating and I just found your skating KZbin videos this past weekend and I have to say your videos are hella inspiring! Not just for skating but for life in general. Glad to see that you are now able to enjoy your passion as a hobby and take a step back and enjoy your life more minus the pressures from social media. Although I did not watch you throughout your journey, I see how much it has impacted you and I think that’s beautiful 💜 you’re a beautiful person inside and out. Glad I found your page. Keep livin life to the fullest and don’t let social media take away your fun ☺️ thanks for being you and just posting this stuff for us beginners out there :) I’m rambling…I know….but your videos have changed my life in such a short time. Who knew learning to roller skate at 34 would be so life changing 😄 keep doin you, girl! 💁🏻‍♀️

[@cheunglindaa]

Aww thank you so much for this sweet message 🥺 I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and I’m so excited for you to continue your roller skating journey!! 🤍 all the love to you!

[@shyshadow90]

Omgosh same tho

[@helenatube]

People like you are so underrated. I love when someone steps off the money-making, status-chasing hamster wheel and chooses to live in a humble, honest way that is true to herself. Wish we had more of that realness in the world. That said, I still think it'd be rad to skate with you one day!

[@beingL]

Now you’re that girl skating in the sunset. Beautiful. Enjoy life

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Picked up my first pair of inline skates 2020, and have now broken 2 arms, both wrist, one with titanium metalwork put in and taken out a few weeks ago, 1 broken thumb, and all I can say is HalleluYAH! I'm grateful I have hands and arms and am alive. Still haven't been back on them since my second surgery about a month ago, but I ain't planning on giving up. Very inspiring video Miss Cheung, thank you ma'am, I needed the encouragement.

[@unknownwindsong]

Hello, I am 60 and have bought my first pair of skates. I haven't skated since I was a teen. Your videos showed me to expect to fall down, but as I keep at it, eventually it will pay off with the freedom of movement I am anticipating. Thank you for your inspirational videos. Loved the then and now aspect of this one.

[@mnpsychologist4400]

I am 65 and starting. Haven't been on roller skates since I was 20 years old. Never skated much then. Really pumped about starting, I don't know why, but I really, really want to do this! My mother of 91 came to live with us in March 2020. I realize that if you want to live a long life and keep your balance, I better start doing something. Walking the trail is boring, I want something fun and challenging, but easy on the knees and I think this is perfect. Everyone thinks I am crazy. Glad to know there is a kindred spirit out there!

[@sharonswift8668]

MN Psychologist . Me too and same age as you!! Ha Ha good luck to us both.

[@TinaandBellesMom]

@@mnpsychologist4400 hi! I too am in this age “club”. Although I skated ( speed) madly when I was 30 I thought I’d be able to start where I left off. Despite the 30 yr age gap. Omg! So humbling with all my crashes and falls. Ugh. However, I’m very slowly getting there and this time with an emphasis on learning tricks and dancing. I found this video so inspirational! To see her in that tiny garage, all the same falls as I’ve crashed, yet 1 year later so much improvement. Much love and cheers to everyone who finds skating as a passion and goes through this learning curve. Very grateful to see such an honest video. Thank you. 💚💚💚💚😊

[@marciarogers203]

I am 67 and just bought some skates. Will practice at home and then go for more training later. I have all the safety gear. Wish me luck.

[@fisherchi]

I started rollerblading at 55 during the pandemic. I will be turning 60 in a few months and skate a few times a week. During the hot summers here in Florida, I skate indoors at a skating rink on rollerblades. I ordered roller skates and when they arrive in a few days will try them at the skating rink. I'm so excited. You're never too old to try something new.

[@manisa.b2276]

I always wanted to learn how to skate but I didn't have the money. Today my first pair of skates arrived and I can't wait to learn. I graduated uni, then went to work abroad in a completely different field from what I graduated. This yeas I am at my parents house, they are also abroad working and I am home trying to figure out my next move. I started some courses which I hope will help my CV cus at the moment is so empty. Now, since I have the time, I concentrate on my hobbies like working out, cooking, skating(I just started and I look like a baby doing his first steps, it's awkward even for me to watch), drawing, reading. I have a lot of hobbies. When the spring will come I have to plant vegetables in my garden. I enjoy my time alone even tho sometimes I wish my parents were home cus it feels against nature for me to be at home and them to be far away. I have 5 cats to feed and they keep me company (when they want to obv).

[@katmd405]

Skate when it makes you happy. I started skating at 10 years old. Haven’t done it now in 25 years. But watching you makes me want to start. I just don’t want to break anything.

[@gracelebron3536]

Protective gear and learning how to fall help boost confidence. Don't let fear stop you.

[@ukiyoomi]

u won’t break anything! i worried about that as well, but i’m sure u won’t. especially with protective gear

[@mandapannts]

@@ukiyoomi it is harder when you're over 30! You can pull muscles doing nothing. 🤣 Still, I am 32 in a few months, and I just got my new skates today, and no matter how many times I fall, I know it will be worth it to get back to something I loved so much as a kid. 🥰

[@t10mcg]

I’m glad you are discovering your own path in life, trying new things and letting go of what doesn’t work. I appreciate you sharing your journey. It’s okay to not be tied to one specific thing, it’s okay to not want to make a career out of your social media following. I find it refreshing that you just want to keep your hobby- your hobby and your social media, your social media. Thanks for sharing your skating experiences, it’s encouraging to see your progression!

[@julieb.h.3757]

I’ve been skating basically my whole life and I tell you that once you learn (after a million thousand fails, maybe) skating is the best feeling ever

[@deandrajohnson1973]

I loved I mean LOVED skating as a kid!!! And as an adult the few times I’ve gotten to go to roller or ice skating rinks I still love it. I felt dumb being a 43 year old chick skating up and down my block but I now said screw it and am shopping for some skates to do just that. 👍🏾

[@calitans]

Same. But I’m doing it at 43. Lol

[@RodrigoKormann]

I'm almost 43 and wanting to start learning it. When I was about 16 I thought I was too old or tall for that. Imagine that! Now after watching many videos I'm getting into it more and more. But I haven't bought one yet. Lets see what happens.

[@juliesmith980]

I'm exactly the same but from roller skating I progressed into ice dance and figure skating. 47 years young and just ordered my skates and will be skating down by the beach.

[@vu.hoanganh]

thank you for talking about monetizing your hobby. i truly think humans deserve to enjoy something without thinking about how productive or profitable it is. emotional enrichment should be good enough.

[@caitlin810]

At 31 years old I've ordered my first pair of skates, your videos are an incredible inspiration! I'm ready to fall 100 times because I can see what dedication can do. You made so much progress in just one year, I can't wait to get started!

[@flowergrill_]

I found your videos inspirational, im also trying to bounce back to life from my depr*****sion, then i saw your 1st vid bout rollerskating recommended by yt. I got so interested that i started imagining myself on rollerblades so ive decided why not, lets try this!. Now i got my first pair and im so exciteeed!(i didnt know i can be that excited) I love how falling is a positive thing in learning skate cuz im really a shy person it gives me confidence that falling is great part of learning this. ♡♡

[@lucymiller8770]

I am 12 and I have skated since I was 4 and I love it to bits

[@oyupositivemongolians9102]

It’s so supportive video! i have just started rolling. It’s my second day. I am enjoying it more than i thought ❤️ sending love 💋💋💋

[@victorious592]

I’ve been watching roller skating videos for a few months in anticipation of getting my own. They just came today! I just recently watched or maybe rewatched your beginner videos. But as much as I like those, you saved the best for last! So many great insights. And the before and afters with the smooth music. Chef’s kiss! So appreciate you sharing your life journey and your heart. Wishing you all the best!

[@robertlascelle1602]

I miss the 90s I rolled skate when I was 11 I wish to be 25 again now 42 but rolling skater are way better than 90s I would not do anything of the rolling moves like you keep up the great work

[@calebhardy7867]

You are the reason I got skates and started my journey thank you 😊 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@cheunglindaa]

😩🤍 thank you for your kindness I hope you're enjoying rollerskating!

[@brittanymyers1982]

What are the best skates for a beginner?

[@chestonr4783]

Love it !. I started rollerblading in July 2021 for me I kinda cheated by knowing how to ice skate and did that for about 4-5 years but never own a pair of roller skates until now I just need to get a pair of Quad skates now. It started all so quick my friend just mentioned it once to me " Yo, let's get some roller skates it looks fun!". We got skates the next week and were surprised how everything transferred over except for stopping, all the cool smooth footwork I learned when I was 10 years old carried over and I was having a blast. Met a lot of friends this past month from just doing this, I can honestly say this had a huge impact on my life. One day I want to meet all the inline, Quad, aggressive skaters out there and learn them all! Thank you for this video! love from Hawaii!

[@lilibethramirez2756]

I started skating in the summer of 2019 because of a show and I only lasted 5 months before I got bored. so started skating again in 2020 because of your videos which honestly I didn't do much because I was too scared I would fall . and then I couldn't skate because school came and winter was coming. now I'm waiting for March 2022 so I could properly become more advanced. what I'm trying to say with this is that the skating journey it's very difficult but it's worth looking back at all your progress!!. i love your videos and they inspire me to keep going!

[@aurumraye]

Okay why did I almost cry watching this?? I’m so freakin’ proud of you and everything you accomplished this year, and I’m so glad that our paths were able to cross ❤️ Keep doing you!!!

[@rorygrace3963]

I started roller skating in November of 2021 and I have been taking classes in the advanced class on Saturday and I am very proud of myself for being able to do this in just a few months because in the beginning of November I would never have thought of myself doing this but here I am!

[@nichaalmeida983]

Hi there. I'm about to start beginner classes in Toronto, Canada. Can I ask you where did you find advanced classes?

[@happyfingers1918]

Thank you for sharing your roller skating journey. It's so inspiring. I haven't done it for over 30 years since I was a teen. I bought my skates today and I had such an enjoyable time picking up where I left off. I am keen to try the tricks you've been sharing.

[@kellydang9684]

TEARS 😩 such a beautifully written & edited video I love you so much!!!! 🥺🥺🥺

[@cheunglindaa]

Love you to the moon and back 🤍

[@sarahburton6318]

Damn, this is so uplifting 🥺Thank you for being honest & yourself! I started skating because of your videos, it's been on the back burner for the last few months but I'm gonna pick it back up again ❤️

[@cheunglindaa]

Thank you so much for watching! Hope roller skating will bring you joy again 🤍

[@Hannah7Banana]

I’ve been figure skating for almost a year now, and i can say, it has changed my life too. Started last year at 15, and I’m now in pre-freeskate with a private coach. I progressed so quickly and it gave me a purpose and helped my find my other purposes in life. People like you are so inspiring, thanks for sharing.

[@Anna-wd8ox]

2:26 this segment was soooo smooth I’m obsessed 🌸💚 can’t wait to be able to do this

[@rasway6700]

I just started skating and this video is truly inspiring. I go to a parking lot to practice, and people give me a thumbs up, cheer me on, or say they wish they could skate. Lol I think to myself I’m just a beginner. I have to remember to poise myself, look up, etc, but I truly enjoy it. Plus it’s an awesome work out. Your journey was beautiful to watch, and wish you much success on your future endeavors ❤️

[@kg7yts187]

You learned the best lesson out of this. You can lose your passion for something that you love, but after you take a break you miss it. Then, when you participate in that passion again, you can appreciate it even more and you can appreciate not doing it anymore.

[@Mariiah23]

I was 12 years old when i starded roller skating. I started i was not good at it, i didn't fall. I started getting really good at it. I started to give up but i kept going now i'm good at it and love it.❤ Love your videos! Love ya!😊

[@cheunglindaa]

That’s the spirit, keep going!! 😍 thank you for watching!

[@shemeneshemene6430]

Hello can you give me some of your old roller skate? I just want to learn but I don't have enough money to buy that's why I'm trying to ask you a favor, I'm sorry hehe let me know when u have made a decision, Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@leilaamorim8949]

We got to know you throughtout roller skating but that's not your whole personality! We stuck around not only because of your roller skating videos but because of who you are as a whole. We are excited to see whatever you're up to and whatever new hobbies that you have! Wishing you a very nice 2022 filled with new accomplishments, love, happiness and success xx

[@hueningkaisplushie]

Thank you. When I saw your roller skating videos I got inspired and got into roller skating too! To see the improvement of you on roller skates I tried it out. It made my days so much less boring and whenever I'm about to give up I watch you to get back to roller skating. Again thank you

[@lilaboxx]

I dusted off my old roller blades in the first lockdown but they're falling apart since I've had them for a really long time and I think I'm gonna replace them with rollerskates because I'm so motivated to learn something new ^^

[@sarahverbeke3]

I don't know how I ended up watching this video, but the personal talk about social media just got to me, this is exactly how I feel, and I'm glad to hear someone talking about it. Thank you! x

[@iamannacrowley]

One of the most beautiful and genuine videos I've every watched on KZbin, Linda! ♥️ I literally bought my first pair of vintage rollerskates 2 days ago and your video popped up on my KZbin and I am truly grateful to have found your channel 🙏 Keep doing what you're doing and may the universe continue to reward you 💫

[@ivonnecastro3569]

My daughter showed interest in skating, we have started doing things but she quits easy... Im getting her all the equipment and pushing her to try and stick to it. It will help so much not only with her health but with her mental health as well. I shared your video with her. Thank you!

[@nawalb.5212]

I am French, your video was the first that I saw after being able to honor the clip of chet fader. this clip immediately made me want to go rollerblading 5 years ago and your video gave me the courage to get started one minth ago. I do not always understand English but I was in awe of your development and to simply realize that it is possible. (I wouldn't be able to do it 30 days but as you told me on Instagram " i can do it". about me i don't take lessons so it is difficult for me to really understand each step of the learning and the techniques .

[@shanicemorris3883]

I’m restarting my skating journey I’m Super happy I found your channel 🤎🤎

[@rc31802]

I just got skates at 43! This is really encouraging thank you.

[@ctbrooklyn]

Linda - srsly, as someone who used to dance with the roller ‘disco’ group in Central Park and wish I could skate like they could… this is super impressive that you learned in a year. You give me hope, gurl ❤

[@ctbrooklyn]

Ps. I hope you’ve learned to deal with the ‘haters’ .. you do YOU! No apologies for being and rep’ing yourself 😘

[@motivated2010]

awwwwwee this was a really sweet video...I just started roller skating again after 35 plus years (hahaha telling my age). I so love it even when I fall; it's something I do to relax my mind after work. Glad you came into who you really are and remembered it's about making/enjoying life experiences and not the camera-blessings

[@86cdp1997map]

I appreciate your struggles with trying to roller skating and didn't give up. Thank you for your endurance and perseverance! It shows as long to keep at it and practice, practice until you will be successful with your goals. I'm learning how to rollerblade myself.

[@Fightingforthelost]

Girl, just live your best life. My daughter picked up ice skating last year, and as a result, the whole family did, too. I'd been roller skating for years, but only on ice 1 time, 30 years ago. First day I fell like you did at 8:20, and smacked my head on the ice. Still got on it the next time. Fell on roller skates the last time I did that, and broke my elbow, too. LOL I'm clumsy.

[@siennaz8519]

It's so awesome how much you've improved! I went to a skate night last week, and I instantly knew I loved the concept of roller-skate-dance, if that's what you want to call it. This video is my new reason I want to start roller skating as a hobby. You are so inspiring. Thank you.

[@seaherne]

I started skating this month, after being afraid to for fear of failure for years. I can now move, turn so I don't run into walls, and have made some amazing wonderful friends. The roller skating community seems to just be wonderful, wherever you go 💜 Thanks for being one of the reasons that I put on the skates and got started 💜

[@OlioPasta]

I just bought my first ever pair of skates in December and honestly I’ve been kind of scared to start practicing but this video really give me some motivation to stick with it and do my best

[@godisgoodprince7056]

I'm proud of you. By the end of year one, you are looking so confident, like you are just enjoying yourself so much. Great job! Very inspiring to newbies.

[@maggienathalie]

just watched your vids abt skating and my fav part is actually the scenes you're falling, I mean, look at those struggles yet u managed to get back on ur feet. I've been hesitating to get a pair for myself as well, but I think I want a change in my life, just like yours. thank you for making such beautiful and inspiring vlogs!

[@beasaroseco5840]

I used to rollerskate when I was younger. I have picked out two part and plan to start again when I get all my gear. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@portianjoku4794]

Good for you Linda! I’m glad you were able to figure out what is best for you. As they say, “you do you boo!” Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@cheess330]

you and Sophia inspired me to pick up skating! so proud of you for your growth in skating and your personal development. i wish you the best 2022

[@Rainjojo]

Recently I’ve been gifted my own pair of skates to learn new tricks with and travel to school faster. I’m so used moving forward with skates that any other direction catches me off balance, this inspired me to keep trying :)

[@GinaMarieGuyette]

You are so brave for stepping back. I really felt those lines about letting a hobby just be a hobby but also pressure to monetize an audience. Really a touchstone of our times. Thank you for being honest and for choosing your values.

[@jdargo]

I just started watching your videos this past two days and you made me emotional girl (in a good way) 🥺 I’m about to start learning how to roller skate 🛼 and you’ve made soo much progress thank you for this awesome videos!

[@kcreative7293]

You are very inspiring and uplifting....I'm glad I found your page. I am a hardcore rollerskater. I'm 45 and have been skating since I was 3. I love you pages with all your interests and hobbies. You're a true pioneer!!!!!!!!!!

[@sillyknitss]

I am so grateful that I found you and your channel. Of course we don't know each other but you inspire me to continue my roller skating journey even if I'm being slower than others and some tricks still scares me. Thank you Linda for putting into words all this nice feelings that roller skating has meaning to you and for being so honest about social media. Big hug and I wish you the best ❤

[@quelquun2018]

I picked up roller skating/waist bead making in 2021!

[@miilisy]

I started when I was 7, never stopped it’s great to see mine and your progression!

[@cherelled6419]

Lovely video x so glad you've come to a happy place with the internet. Thanks for sharing your progress xxx

[@iloveGod1105]

THANK YOU so much for making this and being vulnerable enough to show us the bad times too!!! You are my inpso!!!

[@rbaylon1213]

I'm glad you picked up a hobby during the pandemic. I just bought a new pair of skates and I'm very excited to try them out. Watching your progress over the year brought a smile to my face.

[@dearnemaree8355]

I just wanted to say this was a beautiful video, thank you for sharing your journey with us. I don't know you and I've come across your channel just only recently and this video has brought tears to my eyes (all good ones) and I hope my journey is fruitful as you. I've only just started my roller skating journey and I can't wait to see where it takes me. Most of my 20s I have tried to make my hobbies into something to be commercialised, I have no realised I need to do something for myself. Cant wait to see were your journey takes you.

[@diogo.lima.3]

Your videos me back to early process on skating, I remember to beginning, with my ex, this how I feel on my skating, the wind on my body and the freedom on my foot I'm brazilian, I teacher my friends for skating with me and they feel so happy and freedom too, your video excited me, thanks (And I learn more about english with your videos)

[@Chloe-nr2uw]

I have been a fan of figure skating and roller skating since 2018 and I have been dying to get skates and train my self (most specifically roller skates since it's what I could use the most.) Although I just found your channel yesterday. So happy you shared your journey with us! I really hope I could get skates soon, I'm 15 but my parents still doesn't allow me to work even though I have been planning to commision since i was around 12. I feel bad about asking them since I feel like I don't really do much haha

[@HisGlorySpeaksPodcast]

Thank you! Your story has inspired me so much it brought tears to my eyes!

[@sk-winterr]

You are inspiring at not giving up even when about to, Thanks to you i'm getting skates soon and I will learn and not give up! Thank you for this video with the other 30 days of skating pt.1 and 2❤

[@moni.1128]

Hi! I became inspired by your learning to skate in 30 days video! My progress has been really slow as I haven't been able to make time to go out and skate (I am too a serial hobbyist) and that has felt discouraging some times. After watching this video I'm realizing that my pace is my pace, trying to rush it will only lead to burn out. I'm proud of the progress I've made and I'm going to keep at it ON MY TIME! :) Thank you for the inspiration you've given so many people during a time when it was difficult for us 🤍

[@jessica0321]

Good for you, Linda. So much love to you on doing what nurtures your soul and recognizing what's important in life. Many people don't have the courage to do so, or to be so vulnerable. Beautiful share!

[@kf1412]

You aren't here to make others happy, you are here to make the most of one life you get to have. That's all, no pressure, no unachievable mystical purpose in life, just remember the time you have here on earth is precious and temporary. So just enjoy the time you have and make the most of it in YOUR own way. Live happy 🥰

[@Jessicatheshark86]

This made me cry happy tears. It’s my story too in many ways. You go girl, live your truth and live your best life. *YOU CONTROL YOUR DESTINY 😊😉

[@crazy4beatles]

First time seeing a video from you. Totally resonate with the hobbies thing. Everyone always asks if my dream job would be "insert current hobby here" and it's always a huge no from me. I don't want to have to monetize something that brings me joy - it's meant to be an escape. Kudos to those that can and do that. Not my thing.

[@ZHASSN]

Very inspiring ♥️ just bought my first ever pair! Let’s see how it goes 🍀

[@kajellison]

I have been debating taking up roller skating at 30 & after discovering your KZbin channel, I actually purchases my first pair. I love you showing your journey and especially showing the falls, because it is all apart of it.

[@hansliu4920]

Good job Linda. I picked up Hockey during the COVID and gonna stick with it!!!

[@BecXiong]

Linda, This video is amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey. You said everything so perfectly and I’m obsessed with this 💖

[@kimakau5438]

OMG I’m in Honolulu Hawaii sitting in a basketball court and I just watched your video. I’m over 50 years old and I started in the pandemic too. I’m so proud of you and how far you came. For me it’s taken a bit longer I haven’t got that far I guess I’m Older but nevertheless its been one of the greatest times of my life. Keep it up! And thanks you made my day! Kimberly

[@hackopanlakerson9109]

Keep doing what you love to do and nobody can stop you from reaching your goals and dreams!! This/your video is inspirational!!

[@ats1rk]

I don't skate but this video spoke to me on so many levels! Thanks for being so open! I can soooo relate to almost everything. This has inspired me to try my hobbies regardless of what others might think! Thank youuuuuu! I just subscribed because I haven't found someone who said everything that I have been feeling so well! Thanks again :D Glad this video got recommended for me!

[@melindamalave6666]

hi Linda!! I’m really happy that you’ve reached an area of your life where you’re happy and doing things for you!!

[@nancybashista1390]

Happy for you! Keep rollerskating 🛼

[@crayonofdarkness215]

I feel you about roller skating and hobbies and life in general. I began roller skating in 2019 after seeing Ana Coto’s videos (and she wasn’t even famous yet... she had about 500 followers on IG). She had made a movie with Tove Lo that had roller skating in it, and I was like *I need to do that*. I had these really crappy skates that didn’t fit so learning was really hard. Then in 2020 it totally blew up and I was like - I need better skates so I can actually learn. So finally I got better skates that fit and actually learned, at 31. & for a moment I thought maybe I should make a social media account for it and influence people, but then I decided that I wanted to just enjoy it as a hobby and not try to turn it into a career. I know many people have turned it into a career, and that’s totally cool, but I really appreciate just doing it for fun and not always filming it or necessarily ‘doing’ anything. Roller skating has definitely changed my life too. ❤️

[@arianempd]

I randomly saw your video and now, I subscribed! (also, I can't wait to get my own pair of roller skates! haha)

[@thebigcj]

Rollerskating is just the best!! So satisfying when you finally ace a new move

[@thegeekoutgirl]

I don't know what it is, but I love watching people fall and then get back up. I think it's because so many people think that things are easy and you'll get it right away without falling much but no. You will fall or fail a lot, but what matters most is that you get up and keep going lol

[@ElvisPresley-k5s]

Thanks for the inspiring videos Linda. I just had my first rollerskating lesson a few days ago. I watched your 30 day video a day before it. Stay authentic and true. Always ❤. Stay happy 😄.

[@whaaaat459h]

You were one of the first few accounts I came across before I decided I would pick up a pair of skates myself. I’d never done any type of skating as a kid but it’s now been 9 months since I first rollerskated and I haven’t gone by a single week without skating since then. Skating has changed my life and brought me a kind of happiness I honestly never felt before - not even before the pandemic. And like what you/most people have said, skating has brought some really incredible friends into my life and i’m so grateful to be part of my local skate community. So thank you Linda!

[@angelalebo4040]

Plannng to start skating again…found this video. Wow! Really good! Thank you 😊

"Serial Hobbyist" is a good description for me as well. I've taken up roller blading in the last 2 years and so far still enjoying it. It has been a slow learning progress, but at least still progressing.
