Derby Updates!

Ive been studying my ass off on the rules, there soo many! I got flashcards and Im going to write all the rules down on them and read them over and over and over until I remember them all! I also went to the store and got the posterboards and price tag stickers. So tonight ill be working pricing my stuff for the yardsale saturday and making the signs. Tomorrow ill be dying my hair so it can look good for the event since its getting faded. I was going to try and go to classic tonight to skate but  im going to pass this week. I have alot to do and I still dont even know what im going to wear yet lol. Thats all for now!

WFTDA Rules!

So since we are going to be taking our assessments here soon i thought I would go study up on the rules and such. Last night I read all 43 pages of rules and it took like 2 hours! Hahahaha! But I know a lot more now than I did, granted I dont remember them all.. But I remember a lot of them and thats good for only reading them once! So theres a little test of 45 questions that you can take after you read all the rules to see where exactly you are on things., I missed 14. I dont think thats too bad for only reading the rules once. But I still need to study! So ill be working on that up until the test happens! I also need to be working on my skills. I need new skates for that because a lot of the stuff I have to do I cant with outdoor wheels. FAIL. New skates needs to happen ASAP! Ill most likely be trying out new skates thursday so soon after that if I like them, which i think I will, then Ill buy them. Thats the update for now! Ttyl!

Epic Q&A

So the meeting was def EPIC like I said before. We talked about all kinds of stuff related to the team and the workings behind the team. News on the warehouse, measuring will happen thursday. So cross your fingers! If we are able to fit a regulation size track in there between the pillars then we will be good! Practices will be 4 to 5 nights a week and things will be moving forward very nicely. The Rules tests will be happening soon and skills assessments. So I gotta practice up! Alot of other stuff was talked about but mostly like private team member info so I wont be posting the details. Juss know that it was epic and im glad that i attended. I am very well informed as of right now. Im also excited for the new league photos and the league t-shirts! Hooray! Getting my new skates soon and practice resumes on Monday night.

Onto other news! Fund raising yardsale this saturday, the 7th at Landmark Reality in Springville! Be there or be square! And if you have anything to donate please let us know ASAP! We can pick up! We have a few more events for this month in the works, including a BBQ bash at Deerhunter and an event (I forgot the details, oops..)  in the food 4 less parking lot. More info on those events soon! Oh ya and we didnt do the outdoor skate cuz it was FREEZING! I wish this weather would make up its mind. I do know that we are going to be skating in some parades this summer too, so watch for us there, the first one being the Springville parade! Im excited to skate in a parade! :)(:

Other news is we are looking for sponsors, we have 3 different price packages and if you are interested in sponsoring us I can get you the packet to fill out. Juss let me know ASAP! The sooner the better. We are handing out a little goodie bag with all of our sponsor packages as well. And one last thing, we will soon be looking for non skating personell who would be interested in volunteering to help us out during bouts and events and such. You dont have to skate but still get to be a part of the derby scene. If youre interested in that please get a hold of me and I will direct you to the proper Derby Darlin to get you started. If you are interested in Joining us we will be holding tryouts in the near future. Watch for my updates on those. As of right now we arent adding anyone new but we are working on the warehouse and getting the rest of the logistics in order before we add more girls. So like i said, watch for the updates because I will be promoting it like crazy when the time comes! Well, I still have lots to do to prepare for the yardsale so im out for now! Peace! 

Final Meeting Date!

So the poll won for Tuesday, which is today. We meet tonight at 7 for the EPIC Q&A and then possibly skating after so we have to bring our gear. Awesome, maybe we will get news on the warehouse tonight!! We'll see.

Possible photoshoot and Derby Meeting changed again?

So Chelsea got her studio all set up and needs me to do a test shoot so we can get the lighting juss right. Not sure when it will happen, but I know it will be in the very near future, like the next few days! Im excited for that. Also she told me that the Apache singles will be coming out soon. I cant wait for those! Onto other new, I sent in my entry for the griptape and have been talking to the owner of the company. Ill keep you updated on that.

Derby News, we took a poll to see what the best day for the meeting would be so we can get the most amount of people as possible. This meting is going to be an EPIC Q&A and so we want as many darlins to attend as possible. Ill let you know when the final date gets decided. Not sure if we are going to do the outdoor skate tomorrow still or not. Thats also in the works. And waiting to hear news on the warehouse! Im so excited for us to get into our place that I could scream! Soon ill be getting new skates and things will be great! Carl juss got his in stock so next time I see him at practice I can try them out! More updates later!

Mandatory meeting

So they changed the meeting to a MANDATORY meeting. Im still going to be there either way lol, but we'll see how things turn out. Hopefully there will be some word of whether or not we measured the warehouse and if its big enough. So we'll see! I have a feeling that alot is going to be talked about at the meeting and im excited for it. <3

Outdoor Skate

Sweet, on Tuesday we are possibly doing an outdoor skate before our meeting. Awesome I havent had the chance to outdoor skate yet so this should be cool! Im excited and I have outdoor wheels so it will be good. Anyways juss thought I would update on that.

Derby Meeting

So instead of practice this week on Monday, because of the classic skating thing, we are going to be holding a big meeting and answering questions that the girls on the team have. Questions about eerything that has to do with the team. So im excited for that because I really dont know much that goes on besides practices. Basically though the team members should come, practice, and learn how to play the game by the rules. The board members are who figure out how t make things run smoothly so we dont have to. So for us to be somewhat in the dark about things, I think thats normal. But either way, we will get to ask questions and get answers. Im going to take notes so I dont forget the answers in case i need them for later. But I wont be asking any questions. That will save me from being singled out. So ill juss listen and call it good. Meeting starts at 7 on Tuesday. More updates soon!

HVDD Fundraising Yardsale rescheduled!

So it snowed last night and this morning was raining foreverr, so we changed the date from today to next Saturday, which is the 7th. So we will be collecting items again this entire week until Friday. Next Saturdays weather is supposed to be sunny and in the 60's, so lets hope it doesnt change between now and then!

We dont have practice Monday because they are re-carpeting Classic, so thats in the works, possibly Tuesday. A;so news on the warehouse, they measured it by eye and they think it will work! However they didnt have a measuring tape to know for sure so the official measuring will happen in the next few days or so, and then we'll know if it will work or not. If it is big enough then all they have to do is sign the papers and we're in! Cant wait to start practicing 4 nights a week!!

Skating In my Lifee!

So last night I went to classic to get some practice in and I was very happy when I realized that there was hardly anyone there! it was awesome. Usually when we go Thursdays theres TONS of people there and millions of little little kids on scooters always in the way and its hard not to run into them because theres tons of other people all around you, giving you no room to really get out of the way. But not last night! It was way fun, we were sprinting a lot which is good cuz I always get way tired sprinting so is good practice. I went with my husband and my friend Korbin. Some of th Derby Darlins were there too, Amy, Sylvia and Trudy. Carl was supposed to be there but he had to cancel so I didnt get to try on the rebels! but I will at this next practice. I cant wait to get my right size so I can buy some. After using the nice wheels last practice and then going back to my crappy wheels for last night I was sad. My wheels are seriously like the worst things evar. I couldnt do anything or go fast at all without working like crazy! And for some reason my wheels arent lighting up on my right side skate anymore. Not sure why. So I have to go in and take the wheel apart and see whats up in there.

The yardsale is tomorrow in springville if the weather holds up. Its snowing right now so we'll see. Im juss going to be putting together the finishing touches on the posters tonight and do all the pricing too. Ill be ready for tomorrow! Not sure what im gonna wear yet, but ill figure something out. Im excited, I hope things go well and a lot of stuff sells! Wish us luck!!!
