YouTube # 15

Made a short video (super, super short) just to keep up with my skating and taping and editing fixation that is going strong. I started using the GoPro in December when I realized...

"Hey, it's cold, but not snowing - SKATE!".

As the days of December have rolled into January, I am still more than happy that I can lace up my kicks and enjoy this wonderful (unusually odd for the area) weather. Yesterday I got to skate with four other girls that came to work on their roller skating (minimum skills) for roller derby. I shot more footage than just what I did for this video, but I think I will save all of the shots and use them in a little while when I have more examples to pull from (and camera angles). The boyfriend mentioned getting a better editing software program (using the iMovie on the MacBook right now), that would be rad (I haven't even figured this one out yet!).

Any way, I sure do hope every one in an unseasonable area is using this wonderful weather to their advantage. Coach Pauly once told us in one of his clinics "If your more experienced girls aren't mentoring your new girls, your team is loosing out".

New Years Roller Skate - YouTube #13

It's New Years Day, the white wet fluff that the ski resorts so look forward to has failed to show up, and, may not for a long while. I thought I was lucky to still be roller skating outside in December, but it sure looks like January will allow me to continue playing in the fresh mountain air. I will be taking full advantage of this weather, probably setting my own little local record - rollerskating into the wintry months that have not been free of precipitation since the 1800's. I feel pretty lucky to be having this endless fall.

Youtube # 12

Skating until it snows is now officially continuing into 2012.

Yesterday's video footage was cut short and the theme of the skate session changed very early into our rolling to the ice skating pond.

I was a Girl Scout, I know better than to leave the house unprepared; live and learn.

DAY SKATE AT THE LAKE

A DAY IN DECEMBER

Log: Still no snow

"Let's Go Skate"

Hand made beanie cap, no helmet - skating alone.
I do not advocate lack of protection to your head, especially while skating by yourself. Skate at your own risk.

"Wook at the wake!" - translation - "Look at the lake"

My happy little skating playground - if you would like to see what is at the end of this parking lot, click on this link to the YouTube video - posted by moi

Roller Skate Circle

Still on the borrowed skates!

Wish you all were here to skate with me too!

Whatever you do, please don't feed the geese...oh wait, it's December, they all flew SOUTH FOR THE WINTER!

So I will just sit back and chill...

...and enjoy the beauty around me...

.. chillaxin' the day away...

...And what a day it is...

Money Well Spent

I am not so sure if money has been as big of an issue for others as it has for me this past year, so placing this order from Wicked Skatewear has been a long time coming! My derby dream list is much longer than my placed order, and much more exciting, but alas, I will have some new digs!

My skate boots (She Devils) should be back sometime in the first week of January (derby skating starts back up January 3). I will probably (unless a work of God happens) be skating on my borrowed skates the first week.

So, what was on my derby order?

• Astro Nuts - Green
• Bushings - PowerDyne Magic Cushions - Orange - 82A medium
• Radar Tuner Wheels - Orange - 95A - Firm
• Gaskets - Knee - Triple 8
• Neon Green Criss Cross Laces

Would love to have had the money for new knee pads too, but that will have to be later in the season (before bouting starts). Gaskets really only last me around six months, but I highly recommend them to every skater.

I will post pictures of my skates with their new soles and reinforced toe box (thanks Riedell!) with their updated bushing, wheels and nuts when I get them!

Until then -

Guest Blogers Needed!

Idaho. I was leaving you, moving back to a place I had been before, but needed direction and friends and something more than just some boxes to unpack in the cold of October 2010. I was sitting in the salon chair, getting my hairs cut for the last time from my stylist, listening to sappy music with tears in my eyes. I told her that day between hugs and sobs, that when I got to where I was going, I was joining a roller derby team. And that is exactly what I did.

I moved at the end of October, and by November, I was skating outside under the trees free skating. By December, we had a spot to practice once a week, then January, twice a week. Come summer, we were skating three days a week PLUS the newbie skates that I went to practice and help the even newer girls than me. It is now October, 2011. Besides learning to skate, I started this blog, Muttpuppy's Putting On My Big Girl Panties (a panty in derby is a helmet cover that either has a star or a stripe, hence the title of my blog, Muttpuppy's Putting On My Big Girl Panties).

I've had a great year in derby, meeting wonderful people and traveling to different places. I blog and skate under two different names, so you won't find Muttpuppy listed at Two Evils roller girl master roster. If my career ended today, I would feel satisfied (bench coached two awesome games, our first away and our last home bout), was co-captain of two bouts, captain of one bout, awarded MVP/MOST FEARED/PENALTY BOX PRINCESS, and met the women in derby who I admire the most (though she will admit she's not perfect, makes her even better)).

So, as we know from my last post, October is NATIONAL ROLLER SKATING MONTH, and this blog has a main theme about skating. I will try my hardest to continue on with that theme, but....and this is the kicker....I am asking YOU the reader, to contribute to this months blog post(s), and I am not asking that any of it be skating related. You don't even have to use your real name (hidden behind a mask, you can let your inner (fill in the blanks) out).

Some of my interest are treasure hunting, metal detecting, coin collecting, antiquing, painting, crafting, swimming, exercising, cleaning (oh wait), taking care of my kitties and little foster dog and my female goldfish (who for some reason didn't spawn this year, weird). Hodgepodge. And What Nots. I enjoy LOTS of things, do you?

Some people, just like turtles. That's cool too. Wanna tell me about it?

You need to write something, and send it via email. That's it. If you want me to link something, will do. Got some pictures to use with your stuff? Send them. How about, a word document, somewhere around a page, family friendly? Send it to
