Fancy Footwork

Gene Kelly, if you can do it, I sure will try too. The body control, quick footed steps and graceful stops would help a derby skater tremendously. Watch the video below to see just how talented this man was.

Just Another Saturday In The Park

Survived my teams very first ever double header at our home track this Saturday. Was beautiful weather for an outdoor bout, my family flew in from Michigan to watch, and I was awarded Most Feared.

What else?

Oh, yes, it was the first time I was captain of my team (previously, I have been co-captain) and also my 2nd time bench coaching. The team I bench coached rolled into victory with a win of 249-3 points. What a day. Someone posted on facebook that our team should have put in blockers instead of jammers to jam since it was such a slaughter, whomever commented that....here are my thoughts on that topic.

• This is derby, we don't play any less than 100% (Click HERE and follow the link to Blockodile Dundee's post about giving 100%, it's a very inspiring read)

• Being a team predominately full of very athletic skiers/snowboarders/hikers/rock climbers, we train for endurance, speed, and agility specifically since size is not on our side and that being said, EVERY one of the girls on our team can and will jam if asked. In fact, we jammed all but three of our fourteen girl lineup.

• You don't get better if people take mercy on you cause you are less experienced. I have yet to see another team bow down to an opposing team because they are behind in points. Click HERE to read about mismatch etiquette.

That being said, all the girls who skated did an amazing job! I always look forward to skating against and meeting other people/teams, why else do I practice so many hours a week?

DUH! TO PLAY DERBY!!!!!!!!
