It's great! Derby is very feminist! It's run by women and all body types are welcomed! I love it!

Woohoo! Awesome!!!

I went to my first PFM (Potential Fresh Meat) practice on my new skates last night, and I am sooo feeling it!

What is your derby name, now that you can use it?

Trina Trioxin!

Huh? you say? I'm keeping with the league's zombie theme! Trioxin 2-4-5 is the nerve gas in Return of the Living Dead that turns people into zombies! My number of course is 2-4-5. I am thinking of decorating my helmet to look like the cannister!

Great about the new skates!! Makes crossovers easier!!

That is a wicked-awesome name!

I haven't even tried crossovers yet, I'm still pretty wobbly on them. It's amazing the different muscles that are used Artistic vs. speed skates.

One thing I was not grasping on crossovers was how my torso was positioned. You tilt it sideways a bit as if you were looking with your torso across to the other side of the rink. And skate low. I was also bad about slouching when my shoulders should have been more upright. Like PutUNya Grave says: it's like how you would hover over a toilet in a public bathroom!!
