Knee Gaskets, Jukes, Derby Wives........OH MY!!

Soooo, i have wrestled three cats and two teenagers and have now been able to sit down at my computer to wax poetic about practice tonight........

Practice tonight, so excited, felt like it had been forever......suited up and off i rolled........i mean actually rolled without falling on my arse... Yeah BOY!!

As i'm standing around, being the cool cat that i am (ok, maybe not but i like to dream) i'm starting to pick up terms and words here and there, like juke, i had it in my head that it was some kind of code word for something, like perhaps, umm.. yeah i don't know, but apparently these are awesome wheels.......who knew??

And knee gaskets, shite, can't wait to get some of these, these nifty things go under your knee pads, keep them in place  and feel like your landing on clouds...or so Coach Pixel Ninja says.....i like clouds, gotta get me some of these.........

AND Derby Wife! shite...i mean as it is i can't get a date on saturday nights......and now i have to be worried about finding a derby wife! well hell, gonna have to work on this one! LOL Derby wifes are like the BFF of the derby world im told. partners in crime, holders of hair whilst puking and the one thats gonna bail you out, err, hmm......ok maybe not bail you out since more than likely they will be there beside you on that cold jail bunk...LOL .......hoping someday i shall be lucky enough to have a derby wife......

Practice was great, hard as usual, but great.,,,actually got the whole lets turn thing pretty well going....word to the wise though, yeah, if you are going slowww, you will fall over, slowly......lol

Pretty proud of myself though, i can see myself that i am improving everytime im on skates...getting steadier and stronger........all the while wearing that shit eating grin....who knew sweating could be so fun!!  Derby girl are awesome, never fail to give this wobbly girl some encouragement on their way rolling by, taking a minute to tell me that they see me improving......thats awesome!

So until next time, watch the skys, cause i'd rather that than you watch me struggle to get up......lmao
