I've got a dirty little secret...

...I'm cheating on boxing with roller derby.
Mass Attack Roller Derby!!!


Okay, it's not much of a secret, but damn is it a killer workout!

I thought planks were hard...try straight arm planks in wrist guards!

Tonight Mass Attack Roller Derby had practice with Vicious Stylz, an absolutely amazing skater. She skates with Providence Roller Derby, and used to box at Striking Beauties! (Small world, right?)
She's a beast. I want to be her if I grow up.

Anyway, tonight she led us through an awesome practice.
Falls, recovery, jammer starts, t stops, plow stops, heelies,...so much! The warm up was similar to a boxing warm up, and I still felt like I was gonna die, it was great!

I feel way more confident in a few skills, I can't wait till I can get to the rink and try 'em out!

I'll leave you with something Stylz kept saying tonight that really stuck with me.

"If you're not falling, you're not trying hard enough!"
