Sadly, due to an early-aughts hard drive crash, I don’t have many pictures from that first year of skating aside from those comics I drew. The only one I can find is this very 90s photo of my first pair of quad skates on the old Interskate 91 carpet. (It’s very classy.)

This morning while practicing, I realized that I‘ve now been roller skating for a decade. It’s become one of the mainstay hobbies of my adult life, and led me to accomplish dreams I never even knew were in my heart.
I’m so glad I still love it as much as my 22 year old self did.
My life has been pretty work-heavy over the last few months, but I found some time a few weekends ago to film this little ditty: Here’s how to film yourself and review footage on your phone to get better at roller skating 🎉 youtu.be/_w7-8iM2YHU
This is written largely around pro sports returning to play, but I found it fascinating: nflinjuryanalytics.com/2020/…
On that front, the Olympic committee also recently released some return to play guidelines that are an interesting read: teamusa.org/-/media/583E88D9…

this is good from will and i'd add : social distancing and closed off sporting events are for curbing spread, not something to do when the virus hits hard. it's a preventative strategy, which is why a "wait and see" approach from leagues/NCAA is off base.

In case you're wondering, last year we had 10 total. (Me, Bang, Evans, Polly, Brute, Mutch, Tenacity, Toxic Haste, and Gal)
How can I rock climb every day and also go to practice and also crosstrain without killing my body... too many hobbies 💀
Between getting back into climbing and the new squat rack I just built in my back room, 2020 better be ready to become my 2💪🏻2💪🏻
Basic Keynote animations make for great animated playbooks, #DerbyTwitter. Pass it on 😘

So this is something. xitter.cf/MSNBC/status/123094665…
WATCH: @KatyTurNBC talks to millennial voters ahead of the #NevadaCaucus, and there’s a new spin: the interview is conducted fully on roller skates with a roller derby team.
Tur says she even got a derby nickname “Katy the Turible.”
Hey #DerbyTwitter: If you were involved in a naming rebrand for your league in the last 12 months, I’d love to hear more about that process and what it took organizationally.
Tryouts for Canada’s national team are in April (East) and May (West)! Who am I gonna see at the Vancouver tryout? ❤️🇨🇦🍁 facebook.com/150614708337038…

Hey guess what y’all? People in roller derby protect their abusive friends. Esp when their friends are good at roller derby - sad but v true. When people come forward with stories of their abuse and are subjected to said friends antagonizing and smearing them, #DerbyTwitter 1/
