A vid of me jamming for Rainy City Rising.
Had a fantastic first proper game jamming for Rainy City against Liverpool. We didn't win, but we still netted nearly 200 points and for an unofficial D team with 7 rookies playing a C team, that's a win to me. Was absoluteluy awesome. ❤️ Roller derby. 😍

Finally I got my husband to put wheels on his feet! With some fab tuition from Grant of Skating Queer he got going. Even better, he enjoyed it! Had an awesome time at Skating Queer in Ardwick and met some awesome people. We'll be back again in two weeks time. 🙂

I don't normally fall over, but today I hit a stone skating down the road and yep, ended up on my arse, well thigh. I landed on one knee, then went over. If only I could have done a 'pornstar' landing. Derby skills! 😆

I'm really loving getting into jamming more at Rainy City. Yes, there's some derby kisses in there, but it so worth it. Though it might not look like it, avoiding hitting people was the mission here! 💜

New skate day! These are my Chaya Elite Purple Evil skates. I bought these to cruise and practice outdoors on quads to help my derby skills. Wheels are very soft but they ride rough ground pretty well. It's always a compromise. 1.5 hours & 11km first time out is a good sign. It's too hot!
