How to roller derby by blueducky

"dangerous and fun!"

How I did it: We practiced for weeks at our local skating rink and at the park. We did drills and races, bought helmets and pads and tried not to break anything. 

Lessons & tips: Be careful if you are clumsy. Within a short time i had luckily only sprained things, not broken them like others.
It was only a matter of time until my leg was going to break that i decided to cheer from the stand and retired myself.

Resources: Helmet!
wrist, knee and elbow pads.

    I’m waiting for my very own pair of quads with indoor/outdoor wheels to arrive shortly. Then I can get out on the street (my neighborhood is very slow on traffic and the recent back-lot conversion of a corn field turned housing development has the smoothest roads in town) and practice for free instead of paying rink fees all the time.

    Not quite ready for the Derby yet. 21 months ago

    I REALLY want to do this yet I know a few things are true:

    I need to go rollerskating! I need to get in better shape. I need to scope out the teams in PHX and find at least one friend who will go to games with me and maybe even practice and/or try out with me. I also need to get my work schedule regulated so I can have the time to participate.

    So, yeah, there are a few smaller goals to work on. Here I go…

    I have no roller derby near the town i live in and the nearest is 2 hours away. I guess for now i’m gonna get wicked good at skating and kicking ass at the rink. I even scored outdoor speed skates so when the rink is closed i can still get out. yeah!

    This one may be tricky – practice times for the roller derby club collide with practice times for the outrigger canoe club. I guess I can make it a goal to get more into derby once the weather turns cold since – well, no going out on lakes around here in the cold (not for me anyway)...
