1st Class

It was a group of six of us. Four guys two girls.

There seemed to be a lot of no-shows, so maybe more will show up next week.

Not a lot of instruction really, just drills pretty much, so hopefully repetition is the answer. Of the six in the class, I can honestly say I'm not the worst, although I was one of the only people to fall tonight. I got a little cocky whilst snowplow stopping and just fell backwards onto my arse.

The instructor seems good, maybe a little bored.

The good thing is that I'm not running into things or people anymore. I have enough control to stop when I where I want to.

No pics or video, maybe next time.

Tonight is my first skating class, plus a link

Tonight is the first class of my ten week skating class. Pretty excited, I think its the only way I to make sure that I skate at least once a week. Not sure what to expect, other than to be awesome at skating at some point. Hopefully I can get someone to take a picture so I'll have something to post here.

Also, my friend Chad is on a similar quest. Only with doing one of those ninja wall flip things. Check him out. I Will Wallflip
He just recovered from dislocating his ankle after a front flip on concrete, so there is some potential carnage to be seen.

Hope to have something like this to post after the class tonight.

Enrolled in Skating Class

Its been in the works for a while, but I'm finally enrolled in an adult skating class. Hope it helps. 8pm on Sundays for 10 weeks and starts on August 20th.

Apparently by the end of the class I'll be ready for primetime.

Been riding my bike a lot and can feel my stamina getting better, but nothing wears me out like hockey, so the first couple lessons with probably be interesting.
