🛼 road trip with my stepandskate crew!

last year i went to the nationaljamskatingleague event in jackson, tn by myself—my first skate event ever! i was WAY out of my league having spent barely a year on eights. but it pushed me out of my comfort zone!

this year, its.coach.e and my crew went together and had a blast! i’m still out of my league and have A LOT to practice, but i’m better than last year. and that’s a W in my book. 🙌

dylan__morton and morganweske’s workshops reminded me that i need to step up my cardio and strength training (by step up, i mean start lol) so i’m not DYING after a couple of hours of choreo 😂🥵 but i am so fortunate and thankful for the opportunity to learn from two of the BEST. thank you, both!

we didn’t attend all the workshops, skate battles, and competitions (it’s a 4-day event), but i watched every video dance.skate and nationaljamskatingleague posted. SO. MUCH. TALENT. 🤯 (check out young rinkrat_noah!) maybe i’ll join in on the action in a couple of years or 5. 😉 the competition is cool, but the community, comraderie, diversity, and pure love for the sport (YES IT IS SPORT—just watch the videos and you’ll agree) are what i love MOST.

i’ll be back next year celebrating 3 years on eights! 🤘
