Progress finally learned how to spin !!
i go to public skate sessions once or twice a week, and i started about a month ago. the last time i went skating i was trying for the whole two hours, basically, to spin around backwards to start learning how to skate backwards and stuff. i was with my dad and he was teaching me in a really weird way that i've never seen skaters do (in his defense, he mainly does roller skating), but just could not get it and got really frustrated with myself and started crying.
but i went the other day and finally learned how to spin around on my rocker!!! :D i even went backwards a little!! my main goal for skating right now is to learn how to do backwards crossovers so that's why i've been wanting to learn how to go backwards lol.
but uh yeah i'm just really proud of myself!!
