So I bought my skates on Friday and am super excited. I went skating with my daughter on Friday night. We went for about an hour, it was fun. My poor sweet girl had wheels that didn't roll though, it was like walk skating. She looked like she was running, it was funny but sad at the same time. Poor Girl, awe! We had a good time though.
We also went skating on Saturday for a few hours and that was fun, we went with some friends who made it that much more fun and are completely supportive of my crazy dream of becoming a roller girl. My husband on the other hand barely made it around the rink once. He was twirling in slow motion but I think this was his way of trying not to fall. He fell twice, poor guy! He was very brave, he went right out in the middle of the floor, awefully daring, no wall clinging or holding on for dear life, he just went for it. Pretty hillarious. Well I plan to skate a couple times this week we will see if I improve at all.
I also met this really nice lady that was skating with her husband. She seemed like she was really good and knew what she was doing. I asked her how long she had been skating, she said 30 years, I thought oh my word, 30 years! I don't have 30 years, I have 4 weeks to get somewhat good at this. She plays for the Madison Roller Derby League. She gave me some helpful tips such as practice falling, she said you need to be able to get up super fast. She also gave me advice about loosening up my wheels a bit so that I can be more in control so I am excited to see if that makes a difference. We will see what happens. Maybe I will meet more derby friends out on the rink.
I am going to try and go skating today and for sure tomorrow. Anyone want to join me? LOL!
