Another Boring Skate Video, Vol. 4 Backwards Skating & 180s

I traded the skatepark for a flat open area so I could try the basics of backward skating without worrying about running into or off of something. This was more difficult than I expected. Follow along as my brain melts, and I overthink, trying to learn what I hope will become second nature in the next 10 months before I attend Blading Camp next summer. How did I get here? I skated as a child and loved it. The algorithm decided maybe I should try again. Living in Norway now, I'm also learning to XC ski. I figured that skating again could only help my balance and be more comfortable with my feet sliding. I got a pair of Rollerblade Lightning skates in June. Before this video I've spent about 11hrs trying to get used to skates on my feet again. This video is made mostly for myself...but maybe a boring little progress video like this will inspire someone else to start skating, start skating again, or just try something new or nearly forgotten Living in Norway now, I'm also learning to XC ski. I figured that skating again could only help my balance and make me more comfortable with my feet sliding. Current skates: Stock Rollerblade Lightning 80 #InlineSkating #SkatingOver40 #BeginnerSkater
