Didn't you see Rollerball?

From most of the girls I have seen you will fit in fine. The skinny girls get hurt to easy.

My wife is a member of the local derby team... Has a blast with it.

Make sure your health insurance premiums are up to date. I played softball this year for the first time in about 15. I'm one of those one speed only guys. Max effort is great, but as you get older, things go snap, crackle, and pop much easier than in your youth. It'll probably be as fun as you remember, but it'll most likely be more difficult and painful. Have a go at it. Good luck and keep us posted.

Or Whip It.

A friend of mine (who is your age, actually) did this several years ago in Colorado before she got injured. She had the time of her life, but she did get banged up. But whatever, go for it. You only live once. Take pictures.

Will you get to come up with a nickname?

No clue. Won't find out much on it until 7pm tonight.

Flat skater girls? Out.

Sounds like fun and it would be a great way to get your exercise.

Show up wearing a thong on the outside of your shorts, Hello Kitty bicycle helmet, hair all messed up crazy looking like you just woke up, ice cream stain on your shirt, rec specs, too much lipstick, a sock with fingerholes on one arm. They'll think this gal is cray cray. You'll make the squad with out a second thought! :D

A girl I work with is a derby girl and loves it. Have fun.

Don't you have to come up with a derby name if you're in? Maybe that's just here or in her league. Her name is Elba Mae Fracture.

I know a small, skinny derby girl who kicks ass at it. I believe she's even captain of her team. (Not the girl I work with)

So?

That's how I got my start in the consulting industry.
