7 Reasons Why Skating Solo Is Sometimes The Way to Go

Are you a lone wolf skater? This article is for you!
ShreddER February 20, 2025

1. Emotional Release

Skating by yourself means there’s no pressure to show off. It’s just you and your board doing your thing. If you're feeling stressed or just need to escape for a bit, rolling around is a great way to let it all go.

2. Sense of Accomplishment

Even if you don’t land that new trick, just getting out and moving feels good. Just cruising around can make it seem like you actually did something with your day, and that’s worth celebrating.

3. Full Control of Your Session

No waiting around for your turn or keeping up with someone else. You can explore the streets, chill in a park, or mess around at a curb for as long as you want. No distractions.

4. Skating at Your Own Pace

Everyone learns at their own speed, and skating solo lets you focus on what you want to work on without feeling rushed or judged. Feel free to try the same trick a hundred times without anyone watching you.

5. Mindfulness & Focus

When you skate, it’s all about being in the moment. You really feel every push, carve, and flick, making it kind of meditative. It helps clear out the mental clutter and keeps you grounded.

6. Physical Benefits

Even just rolling around keeps you active. Skating burns calories, builds endurance, and strengthens your legs, core, and balance.

7. Pure Freedom

There’s no schedule or pressure, just you and your board. You choose where to go, what to skate, and how long to stay out. That kind of freedom is hard to find and makes those solo sessions super special.
