Okay, so I grew up roller skating. Not just sidewalk skating or public sessions at the rink. I competed.

I was actually pretty good, received a lot of trophies, and made it to nationals once.

Anyway, that was 20-25 years ago. Now, I'm old and fat (although not as fat), and I think I've been on skates maybe 3-4 times in the last 10 years. The rink I grew up going to now has a roller derby team. I know it's growing in popularity, and I think I've got what it takes to do it. They're holding an open practice and informational meeting tonight, and I think I'm going to go. I'm hesitant, but I can't think of a reason why I shouldn't do it, so I'm sure it's just nerves. Can't hurt to go and find out what it's all about, right?

Wish me luck!
you are a woman, right?

Over half of them aren't there anymore. Won't have updated teams, headshots, and bios for at least a few more weeks. Not that it matters. We aren't super models on wheels, so no one on here would care anyway.

If you want to watch it for sport, I can link you to some men's derby.

We had our first home bout last night, and both of our teams won! I was in the penalty box three times (one of which I shouldn't have been). My last time in the box was for a low block, but it was worth it. I went down hitting a girl, but at least I took her down and out with me! :D

It's so much easier during a game. We practice falls and getting up withing three seconds at some of our training practices, and falls happen during our scrimmage practices, but it always seems so hard to get back up. Half the time or more, that's the hardest part of falling. During a game, when you fall, getting back up is an instantaneous response. It's weird. Adrenaline, I guess.
