It's been 3 weeks since my last roller derby hit and my legs have got the jelly jiggle back and my thigh high socks are cutting in way too much....3 weeks couldn't of come sooner!
So, as i haven't talked about about myself much (yet) i shall elaborate. Since June last year i have been giving up my Friday evenings in favour of spending it with skantically clad ladies in fishnets and hot pants, (keeping it simple) skating round and round in circles beating the crap out of each other!! Pure and simple, i love it! Its just such an energy release and totally gets rid of that pent up aggression i sometimes get!
Roller Derby was something one of my friends said to me about as she was going to some tryouts, I'd seen that Drew Barrymore film and thought what the hey, so i jumped on board!
I started skating when i was a kid and i remember my grandpa taking me out in my Mum's original 70's blue and yellow skates taking me up and down the street. It was something i stuck with and when i was a teenage tearaway, i used to go Rollers every Friday night and meet my friends (and of course, boys!)
As i grew older, i just stopped going but although there were many years gap between when i last skated, my heart did shed a little tear when i heard they were tearing my hangout down in favour of a IKEA.....My childhood converted to dust and then manufactured into a maze of MDF, brilliant!
So, here's a little video for titilation!
So anyway, this weekend something HUGE is happening! Our capital city team the London Roller Girls are hosting an tornament called 'Anarchy in the UK', which they will be playing against some teams coming from the native land of Roller Derby the USA and also Canada. Its going to be immense!!!
This is my first every match that i have had chance to watch (i work saturdays when games are on) and i can't wait!!
It going to be brutal, its going to be hardcore, but most of all its going to be derby!!!!
Love,
Ss
