loosen those wheels!

Sooo, it was an arena practice.....yay!! love them! so much room to wobble in!

Got to the arena, got my gear on and carried (yes i said carried) my skates to the arena floor....on my way out there, Pixel Ninja, Slave driver.....er Coach looked at me carring my skates and said,,umm whatcha doin? .......i said carring my skates of course, cause im a big old whimp. He gets this evil gleam in his eye and says....next time i'm gonna make you wear them in, you can do it.......he thinks about it for a minute and says.....YEP! its gonna be a drill.........pray for me! lmao

So fyi, next time im skating in.

So i get all laced up.....and take a couple tours around the arena floor....can i just mention here that i no long have to psyc myself into skating all the way around....let alone repeatedly doing it......i can do it!!
and have i menitoned that i can turn????? No? i haven't mentioned that? hmmm.....well, I CAN TURN!

My wheels felt a little weird, so i slid to the side and asked Pixel Ninja to take a little looksie to see what was going on....if it was my legs that were weird or if it was my skates, lol

Turns out i had my wheels on wayyyy too tight...EKKKK!! he loosened them up and said.....and i quote...Now you'll fly!.....end quote.....to which i replied....sweet jebus!

So now im all set with loose wheels and i'm gonna try them out....i get to my feet, take a stride and wow, are these ever loose....he was right! what a big difference! i thought that going from outdoor to indoor wheels was a big change...these things fly now!!....(yet again...pray for me)

as i'm making my way around the arena with my new found flying wheels..i hear Pixel Ninja talking to Dii Mented..explaining that he had loosened my wheels, that i had them so tight that he was convinced that i had just been walking around in my skates, not actually skateing....LOL...I think that mayhaps i had been getting off a little easy with them so tight lol

Ok! so Joe Seeker from the Shillbilly show stopped in with a couple new memebers from shill...awesome to see them and him.........And who else stopped in?? My mum and my sister Emily.

Soo i said hi to them all, and my mum says, come on Sarah, show me what ya got!..I say..aw mum its Sai Dystic now....she says.....your tellin me! lmao

FireCrack Ya, who was handling the new freshies, skated by and asked my sister if she wanted to strap on a pair of skate.....the look of horror on her face was priceless.....lmao...she asked my mum too......i think she was actually considering it! lol...although i don't know if id want to be on the arena floor with her....shes a tough ol broad..(mum if your reading this...I LOVE YOU!)

Now practice has started, a few refreshers for the not so new, and a some instruction for the newly new. and off we go with the whistle drills.......i was totally into it, concentrating on not falling, gliding smoothly and grinning like an idiot when i would drop to a knee and slide....WEEEEE!! (please say in high pitched loud voice :)) i skated past Dii Mented and she said, that i was really rockin it! of course i wasn't sure that it was me she was talking to  so i did the whole point at myself, eyebrows raised and look behind me thing...ok, so be warned, my ego just got a boost..im going to be impossible to live with! (seriously!)  lol

Next we did the snow plow drill with partners, my partner was the lovely Cherry Dread...Pixel Ninja skated by and said i had it! i said fuck this hurts! and he said yeah! thats how you know you got it! it hurts good! lmao...

I was so enjoying the practice and really into it when i suddenly realized that OMG i am supposed to be leaving early to go to work.....i totally lost track of time....completly forgot myself..( something i don't do often)...i checked the clock...just enough time to take a quick stretch and get my gear off and run my arse to work.....


I thanked Cherry Dread and apologized for skipping out so soon.....thanks again Cherry!! and got my gear off, said goodbye to everyone and my mum and sister......got to work with 5 mins to spare! WHEW!

later on that night was talking to my sister and mum...they both enjoyed watching, and they both have been bitten by the skate bug.....stay tuned to see if we can get them on skates!!

Side note:  working friday night, so im going to miss practice..bummed out! BUT im going to go for an outdoor skate with Crash and Turn on Thursday and this my friends make me happy as hell!

Until next time......bend yer frikken knees!
