    Fuck yeah! I am excited for you :) Remember, start slow, and if you skated in your youth don’t be bummed if you can’t do the same tricks right away/progress seems slower than it should. Just cruising around is fun as shit no matter who you are (once you get used to maintaining the necessary balance/speed control techniques).

    • yikes! hope the ankles get better!

      thanks for the kind words! i am def gonna be rusty, but since im older im not really focused on tricks or anything like that (yet). im gonna focus on the basics & mostly cruising around/getting my body moving.

      didnt see an active skating comm on lemmy but hoping to help change that bc i am super stoked!
