Derby, it's what's for dinner.

Open skate's tonight and I'm taking my killer new knee pads! I've also got a decent ankle brace now so rock-star falls, here I come!

There is a skillz workshop this weekend, and next weekend too, and try outs are on the 21st. The league here is The Charm City Rollergirls. Their site has some video clips and info about the teams. They also have a myspace page.

Here is a cheesy, yet informative, youtube video about the basic rules of skating in a bout.

I'm still compiling a list of possible names. I don't expect to make the cut on the 21st, since i've only been really skating since mid-November, but if i did make it, i'd have to register a derby name. There is an international derby girl name roster to check against and get inspiration. It's a slow load, so be patient.
