Tips; know how to stop well before going out

Sidewalk cracks are the devil incarnate

Just cause you can skate well on the straight, flat bike path DOES NOT mean you can go down the little, steep hill followed by the gradually sloping hill

Children are like pylons; dodge em.

did I mention sidewalk craks?

If you can’t stop, baseball slide in the grass

sidewalk curbs are also the devil incarnate

I KNOW RIGHT? I try to skate on the road where I can. You should be able to skate on roads that are unmarked (we have the same rights as cyclists) or you could just skate on the side of the road like all the road cyclists do and ignore the cars. They will not hit you but they will roll down their windows to tell yell at you about how cute your arse is :D

So I went and skated at the rink, nice place.

Then I became full tilt badass.

Some little 12 year old twerps (Kat says 12.9, ok ok, 12.9) show up. First one, who calls someone and is whispering. I’m doing whatever, plow stops (which I’ve almost got!!!) and such. Then another twerp shows up. He starts laughing and says loud enough for me to hear “oh my god, you’re right!”. Whatever.

They start playing hockey at one end, I’m at the other doing my own thing. One ices it and the other gets it yelling “YOU TOTALLY DID THAT JUST SO I’D HAVE TO WALK BY…YOU KNOW”

Ok, so it’s obvious. Shameless fat chick in tight clothes doing sport stuff. Har har, what a strange sight. I don’t care. They can laugh all they want among themselves. Which is ironically funny because one has bitch tits and probably weighs more than I do.

Bitch tits ices it again. Skinny twerp asks me if I’ll get it. Fine, whatever. Toss it back, back to plows. It happens again, I sense a trend incoming. Toss it back. Third time, it gets to center of the rink and they want me to get it. I’m thinking it’s back at the end so I look there. I ask them where it is. I guess one is pointing while I’m looking the opposite way. I say I don’t see it and bitch tits gets all rude “well, if you’d LOOK where he’s pointing maybe you’d see it”

Uh uh, bitch tits. I shout back “you’ve got legs, you do it” they start flipping and whining but they do it. A few minutes then they do it again. I’m not getting it. Bitch tits says “don’t you know, roller blading went out in 97 and it’s not cool any more?” to which I say “do I look like I care? And FYI: This is ROLLER SKATING which went out in the 80s and had a comeback about 10 years ago but you’re too young to know that. How would you know it went out in 97? You weren’t even born then.” Their mouths just dropped, I don’t think they were expecting a retort. Mine kinda did too. I get bullied like this often by kids, despite the fact that I’m almost 20. I never have comebacks. I never argue, I just ignore them. But I’m enjoying this now so I ain’t leaving. 

It happens a few times more but I ignore them. Then it happens again, right by me. Whatever, toss it back. But this time I shout “if you ever want to play an actual game, you might wanna learn how to NOT ice it”. Well, they flipped shit. “THAT’S NOT ICING THAT’S NOT EVEN WHAT IT’S CALLED YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. YOU CAN’T EVEN SPELL ICING”

Bull. Fucking. Shit. I know hockey, you fucks.

They do it again and ask me to toss it back. I got them good this time. “I’m sorry, what? The BALL? Can you spell BALL? Do they teach that in grade 6?”

You would’ve thought I punched them in their faces. Then they start flipping shit again and trying to bitch me out. My hair is newly teal and bitch tits starts screaming (as his voice cracks an octave up, which I laughed hard about) “OH LOOK AT YOUR HAIR WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ITS BLUE”

I pull my mouth guard out and shout “no shit, I did it myself, idiot.”

When they see my mouth guard they shout “why are you even wearing a mouth guard, scared you’re gonna fall?”

Finally, I shut them up “No, it’s so I don’t fall and bang my head and end up as stupid as you”

They start talking between themselves and walking towards me. The last thing I want to do is beat two twelve year old faces in, but I bend down as though I’m tightening my skates, getting ready to pull them off, roll, stand up and kick the shit out of them, as I’m no where near being able to play fisticuffs on skates. One grabs the ball and the other kinda mills around near me. Then they go back to hockey. At this point, I skate over to my bag and text my friend as I had been doing before. They start bitching about something about bringing phones when playing sports (which they both had anyway) and saying some more shit. They ice it again and start asking me to get it. I ignore them and keep texting. Skinny twerp walks down and gets the ball, mocking me while huffing and puffing and whining “oh. that was SO hard”. I keep texting and bitch tits says “Oh he was just joking” I told them that I didn’t even care and didn’t hear, I had better things to do than spend my day coming to the rink to insult people minding their own business. He goes back and at this point I call my mom, just to see their reaction. The INSTANT they see the phone at my ear, bitch tits panics and says “let’s go play video games!” and they start grabbing their stuff. When my mom answers I start talking about dinner plans and they go back to playing. Then I loudly say “so I’m at the ice rink”

I have never seen two kids grab their shit and sprint as fast as that. Of course, being the little fucks they are, skinny twerp pokes my mouth guard with his hockey stick (can you say “nasty”?) which is stuck into my helmet and says “oh you forgot your mouth guard” and I shouted back, no shit it’s there, I put it there, you fucker.”

Then they ran home or whatever and I laughed my ass off. Because kids always say shit to me and I never have comebacks, except when I’m in my derby gear, it seems.

*applaudes* My god girl you did better than I would of, well done for sticking up for yourself and letting their insults slide off you like water off a ducks back. You are a rock star :D

Two weeks ago I painted my toestops black and postet the “before” pics. Now, after 2 practices, here are the after pics. As you can see, the color comes off and it leaves ugly marks on the floor. I taped the stops a bit, otherwise our whole track would be black by now. So I don’trecommened coloring your toe stops.

Good to know, thanks for keeping up updated :D

While painting doesn’t work, dying with RIT dye totally does. Leaves no mark, and is mostly permanment. I skated with these gumballs for over a year after dying them pink, and aside from the spot in the middle, the pink stayed, left no mark and is still bright.

Ah so that’s how you do it, thanks for the info! :D

6.1.3 says that “Intentional, negligent, or reckless illegal contact to the back of an opponent….” (emphasis mine) is grounds for an expulsion. So if you touch an opponent on the back on purpose you can, at the head ref’s discretion, be expelled from the bout.

As sentient beings with free will, all non-accidental actions by skaters are, by definition, intentional. Are they not?

On the other hand, 9.3.3 says “If the referee is in a position where intent must be inferred but is not clear, legal intent must be presumed.” Unless the refs are psychic, or players verbalize their intentions, intent must always be inferred. Which would mean that nobody can be expelled for an intentional back block that is not also negligent or reckless.

Except of course that they can be, and have been. 

What do you think?

Anyone wanna help Cobra Kai out?
