Another Derby Update!

So the first practice in 2 weeks was yesterday. And it was EPIC. I know I say that alot, but it really was. We had tons of fun. I got to try on the skates im going to buy, And im keeping the wheels that Ive been using. The boots are going to be black and the wheels Pink. They are Rebel Invaders, im super excited. I found out my correct size and eerything so we'll be good! Now to buy them! During practice we practiced skating on one foot for extended periods of time, I couldnt do it very well with my outdoor wheels on, but with my indoor wheels I did hella good on both feet! I was excited for that, we also practiced JUMPING! I was all scared for this cuz it seems like it would be super hard, but surprisingly while I was on my outdoor wheels I had no problems jumping. I wasnt lifting my feet high enough at first and kept catching the rope, but after I got the hang of it then I was good. I was Jumping like crazy and catching some air too! It was alot of fun. I actually didnt biff it either, I was surprised because i thought for sure that I would fall at least once, I mean trying out the new skates and boots I actually fell about 6 times during practice. So I was expecting it and when it didnt happen I was like HOORAY! Bust em buxom recorded 5 diff videos of us jumping and uploaded them onto FB. And they were really cool too! Next week we are gonna be jump roping on skates. Hahaha.

So anyways the track is getting layed in the warehouse tomorrow and then they are going to officially measure it all and see if we can pull it off. If we can then the warehouse is ours! If this works out then practice 4-5 nights a week! And im so excited! I cant wait to practice that much! Its gonna rock! I found out that we wont be playing bouts until March next year. Thats when the new season starts and we enter in then, until then we are gonna work on finding a building, and learning the game. practice practice practice! Also to go along with that statement, we are learning the rules too. There are 46 pages of rules, and we have to know them all! I decided to write them down on flashcards, it will make it easier for me to memorize them. Well I am only on section 3 of the rules which is like 8 pages in and I have already used more than half of the flash cards. Hahaha Im going to have to buy like 5 more packs. Im gonna have ALOT of flash cards when im done. WTF. So many rules to know!!!!!!!!!!!!  Anyways ive been working on those each day. And Raggs has been asking us a few questions during practices now so that will help us too. Anyways Im uploading a few pix of practice so enjoy them!!!!
