Ooops

No mistake about it Roller Derby is a contact sport! I mean skating around a track the size of a basketball court with a girl trying her best to get past a pack of girls who are hungry to win, getting hurt can happen. This is why we practice over and over and over again to bend your knees (creates stability), falling down ( so you instinctively do it properly if you have to go down), this is why we wear equipment to protect our head, teeth, knees, wrists and elbows. Even with the best of intentions people can get hurt.

Last night we did a pack drill (AWESOME!) we all had our scrimmage shirts on (oh must post a pic soon, has my name on it so excited!) at coach's request...half the girls white the other half black the intent was for the entire pack behind to get through the pack in the front. Yippie starting to learn the game ...only gets more fun going forward I am certain! 

We are a fierce group of competitors even within our own league we were ready to rumble...no one was stopping us from getting through (unless of course coach blows that whistle of his). I got on the inside of the track.  I got through every time however it took a lot of effort. But man it felt good!



Alise T'Kill & I'd Hit That


My dear friend I'd Hit That decided she was gonna try and pass me on the inside of the track....HELL NO I say! I got in Derby Stance (which now starting to look like Derby Stance and not a deer on ice...LOL), back straight, knees bent, bootie out and somehow my elbow managed to hit her face and I gave her a fat lip! OMG I felt so bad! At least she had her mouth guard in and she didn't loose a tooth or something...that would be really bad!  Good news though as I said Derby Girls love their injuries now she can say her sister wife beats  her and gave her a fat lip...LOL...I am sorry and I'm glad its not too bad today!



We have a new member of our group... Lipsmack...last night she met my bootie more that once! Apparently, I'm getting pretty good at this bootie block!..LOL.  Anyway she got by me a couple times but not without my butt pushing her out of bounds a couple of times! Yeah me!..LOL...Welcome to our league Lipsmack we are so happy to have you!

OK so that's 3 blog entries for one night I think you should all be caught up by now...It's 2 am and time for sleep...Practice tomorrow night! :)
