I think I'm going to try roller derby!

My hairdresser is my age & she invited me to go tonight. They aren't competing tonight, just having a free skate to generate some interest.

I've always loved to roller skate, so why not? I'm excited!

  • Dude, that sounds like a rockin' good time. You'll have to tell us how it is. I'd totally do it if I knew someone who did it who wasn't completely scary.
  • I would be afraid I would break something else!!  But have fun!

    LOL. I told DH & he the first thing he said was, "You're going to get hurt"

    Just be careful!  I think so much about the things I may not be able to do once I am healed - only 80% range of motion if all heals right.  And one of the things I thought of was roller skating!

    It looks like so much fun. Do they wear rollerblades or skates? I used to love roller skating. We went to the rink like every weekend. But that was a loooong time ago.

  • Thanks guys!

    H&W: They wear roller skates! I never liked roller blades, so I'd be out if that were the case.

    Me too! Oh man, I thought I was *so hot* when I was 13... good times :).

    Shoe, you are so bad asss for trying this out. You're going to have to post some PIPs of this.

  • Be careful out there!

    I've got a CW that was a derby girl. Man, those matches are fun to watch, but they do get hurt...a lot. Mostly knee injuries. The most important skill - & the first one you'll be taught - is how to properly take a fall to minimize injury. If you decide to sign up to become fresh meat (a derby newb), be prepared to be more sore than you ever have in your life - and have the best looking legs you'll ever have in your life ;) Have fun!

    Edit: Oops! Just realized this was from yesterday. Hope you had fun!

  • Oh fun!!  You'll have to tell us how it was.  DH saw a practice in GSO a few weekends ago and thought I'd have fun doing it too.  :)
