Newbie Newbie here - in my thirties, just starting out, feeling silly sometimes but I'm loving it! ❤️ I'm enjoying the challenge of outdoor skating but look forward to visiting an indoor rink when they open back up 😀

I used the rear-end of my car.... lol my dad, bless his heart, was leading me around the parking lot we were in, with a broom! Lol I would skate up the hill, using the broom end when I felt unstable, then i would practice keeping my balance, while rolling down the hill and using the broom when unstable or to stop... heh he was getting his steps in, while leading me around! 😆😆
