One of my new students did the Disney skate Marathon as this was her goal. Well, she informed me due to the rain the race was cancelled but she did the fun skate and had a blast.  She said the techniques she learned helped her and she cannot wait till next year to kick buttie (beat her own time). She was glad helmets are mandatory as a few folks fell down and could have hurt their noodle. She only took two lessons and is doing fantastic. Way to go Julie!
