Okay - I've decided to keep trudging thru and improving my skating skills so I can be a full blown WFTDA approved derby girl. I've been renting out our local (old) school gym and practicing honing my skating skills. It is really hard work. I also plan to drop at least 10 - 20 lbs by supplementing this with regular (forced) exercise. I will conquer. I will succeed.
I got some new skates coming - thanks to Bruised Boutique!!! They are so awesome. I decided to get the Riedell 165s Vixens because my Sure-Grip Rebels just weren't cutting it for me. Stupid narrow feet. I'm hoping these are loads better. I also got some new wrist guards, because - let's face it - the stink from my old ones could kill a fully grown man within 2 feet. Plus they are shredded to the point of no fixing...I think it's time to bury them. Maybe this will keep the squirrels out....
I also got some awesome Sure-Grip Fugitive wheels (blue) - hopefully they will work for my (ever improving) form. I also might be getting an upgrade on my knee pads as someone I know is selling theirs and I would love to have a better pair - especially for under cost (she wore them for a month). Now to get back to my bootie grinding...
