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".

Weekend

Oh my goodness! I survived my first roller derby clinic! Sore? Yes! The floor was sport court, something I have never skated on before, so I fell, a lot. There were girls of all skill levels in attendance. Eight newer girls from my team attended the Friday, Saturday and Sunday festivities. We didn't stay for the scrimmage on Sunday, but did hear that a girl broke her ankle in three places and had to go in for surgery. Wishing her a fast recovery. I will post some of the Q and A from the Friday night portion of the clinic a bit later. All in all, I feel like I know more what I need to work on, and what fears I have about derby in general.

Until later, Happy Blogging and Happy Skating! - Muttpuppy

I am going to get a pair of gumball toe stops - anyone tried these big natural rubber beasts?
