And so a Derby girl was born

Thursday 3 November 2011

OOO!!! Pain is the Cleanser!!

SOoooooo, its been a while...too caught up in my head and life...so this is gonna be a post about the last couple of weeks of derby, rather than a blow by blow account.........
Things i have learned.......

I HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED!! yeah!! who knew????? soo picture it...coach Pixel Ninja says hey guys, its time to do some push pulls...pair up!...Em J'Kill is back from LOA and practicing with B squad for a little bit, so i pair up with her...not even thinking hey, yeah this is a girl with some skills...so she half turns, says, 'Hold on' and AWAY SHE GOES!!!!!!!! well i tell you friends....that girl can MOVE!! after i got over the initial fear and stopped calling for my mummy....i was rather enjoying myself! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! (said in a high pitched squeal) what a rush! holy hell! i mean don't get me wrong, it was scary as fuck...but i loved it!!!!!!!
I think the others on the side lines loved it too...or at least the look on my face and the high pitched squealing sounds that were coming from me anyway, lmao
i cant wait to be able to go that fast on my own!

Practice has been ramped up, we all have the skill to skate and some control, so now its time for the nitty gritty...and let me tell you, i thought practice was tough before, yeah...umm...where did that bucket go??? i think i may need to vomit! lmao

It all started with Pixel Ninja, bringing out a bucket, setting it down and saying, very plainly, that is was there if needed...we all kinda looked at him and the bucket...and said umm..ok. I didn't look around but im fairly certain that the look of confused horror was the same on each face......

so off we go...the drills are harder, more difficult, in skill and endurance. I am pretty sure that there is something fundamentally wrong with me and my mental state...cause let me tell you...I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!

myself and im sure the rest of the girl, learned something very important that night...we CAN do it. We are no longer new, we have some skills, and none of us gave up! we made it through that practice and with that gave me, and im sure everyone else that little boost. we worked it through...i mean, yeah, i kept my eye on the bucket, you know, just incase...but we did it! Start to finish i didn't stop once! YEAH SON! pretty fucking proud i have to say!

On to the pilons....i had a theory....that it was mind over matter....so since im a glutton for punishment...of i go, deciding that im going to do the fucking pilons, with a smile on my face, and do it right.....

i worked it out...i did it...i was able to do the pattern, i was able to turn and i did it with only a low level of swearing...i did figure out that im much better at turning right than left...strange...but true. by no means was i rocking the pilons, but i was actually making it through...giggity.

a couple of the new drills that we are doing....first is the skate, fall to a double knee fall...walk on knees two steps...get back up, skate, double knee fall and walk on knees two steps...rinse and repeat until you puke.

second is...skate..fall into baseball slide...three sit ups..get back up..skate...fall into baseball slide...three sit ups...back up and skate...turn around and hit repeat until you have out of body experience...

third..skate...fall into double knee fall....three push ups...get up...skate...fall into double knee fall...three push ups...get up and do it all over again until the white light gets brighter and you start to see lost loved ones....

we also did the stand in circle, Pixel Ninja in the middle and we walk/stomp in the direction that he shouts out...awesome sauce!

these of course are all in addition to the regualar forms of tortur...er.. i mean drills...that we have been doing...whistle stops and fall etc...

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

push pulls....and because like i said im sadistic...get it??? Sai Dystic!!!...bahahaaa! im all over being Em JeKill's partner again...YEAH MAN!! off we go, even trading places mid roll, instead of me having to slow completly to a stop!!!!! EEEEEE!!!!!!!! Thank you Em! you rock like a rock star!!!!!

Hugs and bum smacks....i love me some derby!

let's hear it for Pixel...i mean, seriously, theres some looks of death and a whole lot of swearing that comes with pushing girls to their limit and beyond...and he takes it with a smile....we are pretty darn lucky to have him i say! He builds great women! and yeah...on that note...sorry for the repeated 'fuck you' thown out there....it is said with love :D.....

soooo im feeling pretty good about myself...seeing the improvement that im going through...remembering back to when i couldn't even stand...this is sooo fucking worth it...and yes im swearing (sorry ma) but i can't express how much this whole thing excites me...even when im sore, close to vomiting and not too sure im going to be able to stand....i'm on a natural high...

still fighting with my laces....almost has K convinced to be my official lace tie-er...for the low low price of 20 bucks a skate...but then someone...who shall remain nameless...ahem...Pixel Ninja...pointed out that he would forever be tying my skates...and would then turn in to a full time job for him...damn it! so close!! gonna have to start offering cookies too>>> come to the dark side...i have cookies! :D

i know im forgetting stuff that i had wanted to put in here...and maybe someday i will remember...so i shall leave you on with this...put on a pair of pants today...just for shits and giggles...pants that i hadn't worn for a while cause they were tight and looked ridonkulous...yeah, they are now too big..baggy and oh fuck yeah i got them on right now!

Praise Derby...and until next time, keep your stick on the ice...wait...umm...BEND YER FUCKING KNEES!!!!
