After much thought and feeling I finally bought roller derby gear. I bought a rookie package which included skates, a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, outdoor wheels, a ultitool, and bearing cream. I hope to teach myself to skate again. I never learned how to skate as a kid, no sidewalks to learn on. I remember the last time I went skating, which was ice skating and not roller skating and my knees where giving me trouble. I had knee issues as teen and I’m not sure why. Hopefully I can practice enough so I can try out for a league. We got to banked track bouts, but I don’t think I am going to be nearly ready to try-out or play with them, even though I would love to.
I have a roller derby blog, that I am not very good at updating but I try, http://eleanorsplicer.blogspot.com
