So a couple of practices have come and gone, and now i can actually stand and move on my own! I have started after that first night doing squats and lunges, so that even though i don't have my own gear yet, maybe it won't be so hard to get up off the ground whilst on wheels!
Now i find myself at my third practice, i missed a week due to work, and i while im gearing up, i realize that im scared shitless to stand and move again!
I voice my fears to Di Mented....she smiles, says yep! get up!........LOL soooo what choice do i have but to get up and get started, I don't know why i was feeling like that but no worries i got going and was OK!! i even learned how to turn that night.....AND it no longer took me 4 days to get up off my knees!!
Improvement???? I think so!
It funny, still not very good, improving and all but hooked!! and maybe a little obsessed....all things Derby run through my mind now....can't say im not enjoying it.
Muddy River Rollers hosted a Derby Jamboree.....one of our sponsers (yes we have sponsers) was coming down for the event AND the stars aligned just right and it turned out my job owed me some back pay so i jumped on the chance and ordered my OWN GEAR!!! Neon Skate brought it down after speaking with me about the sizing of the gear...
Since i was working and oncall i couldn't stay as long as i would have liked at the Jamboree BUT i did catch a few bouts, picked up my pretty pretty tutu, AND got my new gear! all ready to roll..........
