@DethBeard I never had a lesson in my life as a kid. Getting back on skates has been very daunting. So I had to start from the beginning. Falling correctly, getting up, learning to stop, I find it harder stopping going forward then going backward, because I have toe stoppers on quads. It’s been ace though, my daughter has joined my classes, I bought her a pair pink suede moxi quads should last a lifetime
The boot camp sessions are hard and I get knee pain, probably an old injury from running. So instead of easing up, I now need to invest time doing yoga..
My primary goal is to ski better, with stronger core and resilience especially lower body joints, skating will condition my ankles etc for some fun on my trick skis.
Good luck with getting back on it. I’ll probably get some 3WD inlines for commuting (9 miles each way) next spring.

I found my old roller blades at the start of lockdown 1, bought new wheels and bearings, but have not yet mustered the courage to use them.
I was shit BITD and now being 40, it seems like I am trying to give myself a permanent injury.
Will use them to commute when I get invited back into the building
