Huh

I haven't been #rollerskating in a while

I forgot how to do it

Is this how you do it?

skating pro tip:

if you stumble and have to make some kind of funky manuever to keep your balance, just repeat that motion a couple of times and folks will assume your just doing a hot, new skate dance. zero cool points lost.

follow me for more useless skate tips. don't forget to hike and imbibe!

Our derby league finished out the regular season last night with tied standings: 2 wins for every home team.

I love that I never, ever know who's going to win when I get ready to announce a Kansas City Roller Warriors bout.

Seven years of autistic burnout and the loss of the athletic capacity I used to enjoy, and my body has finally rested enough that I can sometimes exercise without getting a migraine/collapsing in exhaustion for several days afterward. I have been rewarded with the revival of a special interest from childhood that I now have the adult agency to pursue: skating!

I have done some ice skating each winter for the past three(? or so?), which my joints liked but my sad muscles could barely hold me upright for. This year, my muscles decided to adapt to the exercise instead of punishing me for it, but the ice wasn’t reliable enough to skate as much as I wanted. Thus, the acquisition of wheels.

I am hooked. This is my new Thing. I study this Thing every day, and do the Thing as often as my body and the weather allow. Do you do this Thing? Do you do it on ice, or wheels, or both? Do you want to be friends?
