I skated 25 laps in 4 minutes 28 seconds! ROCK ON!

WOOO! I passed Wasatch's League Skills Assessments test! So that means I am cleared to play in the bout on saturday! excited? YES! The only thing that might stop me is the USARS insurance. Which mine is already sent in so maybe we can get day passes and whatnot. Either way I should be finding out tomorrow and the chances are like 80 percent. Im excited sooo excited. At practice tonight in SLC we got to work on hits and taking hits and we were hitting each other hard too. They said the scrimmages will be like 1 girl who is really good, and then 3 beginners and a good jammer. Kind of for training and such, so us Noobs will get to play with other noobs and hopefully not die! lmao! Saturday I also have the Unique Carwash, so Ill be there in the morning then to the bout in the afternoon. Busy day saturday! Il keep you updated!

Skills assessments.

So tomorrow im carpooling with some other girls up to the derby depot in SLC for a practice with Fraux Meow and we are going to be passing off minimum skills assessments tests. Not our actual skills test, juss one that will clear us to play in the picnic scrimmage with all kinds of other people girls and boys! It will be 2 girls only scrimmages of a half hour long, and then 2 co ed scrimmages of a half hour long each. So Lets hope I pass and lets hope I dont get my ass whooped bahahahaha!

Working on the Derby House!

We got a TON done today, I organized the contact list, updated it and sent of 25 names to be approved for our league. Then I went and helped clean the derby house again, I sweeped and moved pallets, emptied concrete chunks into drainage holes, cleared out a shopping cart and then Skates brought us Pizza! It was way fun, I didnt take any pix tonight although I brought my camera. I was juss busy and didnt even think about it. Idk when we'll be done with our building but I do know that when we are we are jumping straight into skills assessments an rules tests! So ive been studying up on my rules like a mofo!  Im gonna pass mine lol! Juss an update, ttyl! <3<3

Derby Recruitment

Sooo, I actually dont really know how I even became on the recruitment team at all, I didnt sign up when they started so I think it was when Ann had me start recruiting online and got me more into it. Either way I was asked recently to take over position as head of recruiting!! Awesome. So tonight I sat down and figured a lot of stuff out. Im planning a meeting before practice monday with the recruitment team and things are gonna change! We already recruited 3 girls and I need to find a place for them to practice, maybe they can practice in the derby house, who knows? So im gonna figure that out, along with new recruitment times, saturday recruitment's, recruiting in places other than classic, ect. I also have a question list that im gonna talk to the team about and see what they think, as well as a tryout list for the fresh meat. So after monday ill update with the new plan! I also have on my plate team name registry, joy hahaha. I haven't the first idea where to start there. So I wrote a question list and you gotta start somewhere. Answer my questions then ill begin the process! More updates later. Juss wanted to let eeryone know about my new status and this is going to go far! You'll see! :)(: <3<3

Photo Of The Day, 6-23-2011:

This photo is one of my all time favorites from this shoot. I really enjoy the darker style of shooting and editing because I dont do them alot so when I do its like something new. We shot in Lehi by this old abandoned warehouse and railroad tracks. I got my jacket at spencers and my jeans at Buckle they are silvers. Enjoy the pic!

ZUCA!

So my husband got me a Zuca for all my roller derby gear, and it is the coolest little bag ive ever seen! I freakin love it bad. it fits my skates, helmet, gear, water bottle, lysol spray, bandannas, tools, gum, and whatever else I want to put in it! You can even sit on top of it to put your gear on, its seriously the coolest thing of my life! Heres some pix!

More cleaning of the Derby Home!

After practice some of us stayed ad helped clean the derby home. It has alot of work before it will be done, but we have already come so far! So much being accomplished! Our goals today were to wipe all the walls down in the upstairs and downstairs offices, then wash the windows upstairs, then sweep and mop the upstairs office floors and the downstairs office floors, Then fill in the remaining 3 holes with concrete and get as much of the floor industrial cleaned as possible. Which by the time i leaf at midnight we had reached our goals! Theres still more to do, and tons more floor to be cleaned. But it will be worth it in the end! Im so excited to start practicing there! I handed in my membership application today, along with my USARS for insurance. Once those get sent in and i get my USARS card I will be able to skate in the building! So lets hope we can get it all finished this week! We are planning on laying the track Sunday! I couldnt be more happy to see this all pulling together and working so well! We are doing great as a league! I was approached today by Amity also, and she is the head of recruiting, she asked me to take her place as head, and I was reluctant at first only because I already have a lot on my plate but I can do it, I know I can. So I agreed. Once it gets cleared through Raggs then ill be new head of recruiting and able to go to board meetings and such. That will be cool too! K heres some pix!

Outdoor Derby Practice!

So our building isnt all the way cleaned yet, which means we got o practice outdoors today! It was way fun and I only got pix of the warm ups and the figure 8's. But we skated all the way up spanish fork trail that lines the highway 6 road, and then weaved back down. It was way fun! Heres some pix!

Cleaning the Derby House!

So we got our warehouse! And its HUGE! Its big enough to fit 3 regulation sized tracks inside! Although we are going to put 2 and only 1 at regulation size. Either way we are going to utilize all the space, and put our main trick in the middle and a training track on the right hand side, plus prolly more training areas on the left as well. We have a lot of space to work with so we're gonna make it work! Im so excited, I was there cleaning tonight and will be going back sunday! Practices moved and now are monday nights, tuesday nights, thursday nights, and saturday mornings. 6-9 on weekdays and 10-1 I think it was on saturday, so we'll see. If we can get eerything cleaned up enough this week then we'll start practicing there on monday! So excited! Heres a few pix of us tonight!

Happy Valley Derby Darlins in the Springville Parade!

Soo, this morning we were in the Springville parade and it was so much fun! It wasnt as long as I thought it was going to be, which Im not complaining haha. But it was cool. We were doing drills like figure 8's, fast feet, falls, pace lines, whips, and hip assists. We had girls holding the banner while skating too, and girls pulling wagons, handing out fliers along with some of the refs too. It was really hot outside but the sun wasnt all the way out so that was good! First parade evar for the HVDD! Yay! We'll be in more coming up soon! So watch for us! ANd we're recruiting too! So if you wanna join us let us know!

CattleDrive at Carols Cove!

So we did our first promotional event as the Stars of Unique at Carols Cove last night! Cattledrive was playing and an old friend of mine Michael Hernandez is the lead singer and guitar player of the band! So that was cool. We went to B and B's and got our hair and makeup done, then headed out! We got there around 9pm and started playing pool, then we got on stage and introduced ourselves and the band! Later on we went around and had eeryone put their name in our raffle for shirts and we drew out 7 names, then for the last 2 shirts we had a best tattoo contest and we judged the tattoos and gave away 2 more shirts. Then we danced all night on stage and off with cattledrive and played pool. It was really fun. Allover it was a  good night and I think we furthered our name out there! Cant wait to do it again! Heres some pix from the event.

SLI Unique Fundraising Carwash!

So the carwash was amazing! We all got there around 10am-ish and started setting up, we made a specific place for the cars to be washed and got it all marked off, then started putting the coolers together and setting out all the stuff on the tables to be sold. We had our first car to wash right as soon as 11 hit, it was a photographer who actually stayed for a while and took pix of us washing. Then after him the cars started flooding in. There were about 2 or 3 dead times where we all went out and promoted to get carwashes but besides that we were juss washing away. It was a ton of fun! We ended up making 350 bucks, which surprised be cuz we only promoted this event for like 3 days. It was a very short notice. Either way it was amazing, we all did hella good, and I cant wait till we do it again! Here are a few awesome pix from the event!
