Not exactly similar sports, but would anyone like to start a group? There are a lot of groups w/ weight loss goals, and while I'd like to loose some weight I'm more interested in just being as active as possible.

Just need motivation getting toderby practice all the time; info on getting leaner legs w/o loosing strength; found an awesome site for skiing workouts....etc.

    Yeah! A derby group would be great! I have a couple of team mates on here as well.

    Where do you skate?

    I skate w/ RMRG in Denver. If you are wanting to join this group, post the league you skate with too. Freind request each other too. Derby love!

    Uh, I also don't know who to start a group - is that an option on here?

    Burning River would be down for a Derby Group. There's about a half dozen of us on here now.

    IDK how to start a group on here!

    I skate with the Southern Illinois Roller Girls. I'm the head of the training committee and the interleague coordinator. So if any of you want to talk derby training/drills or if you want to play us this season, let me know!

    I am also on the Southern Illinois Roller Girls with Krush and I help train the new girls. :)
    Derby is a killer workout and does amazing things for your (this is the official derby term) Booty.
    Best of luck for future derby girls!

    ETA: From what I can tell, the way to start/join a group is to post to the thread. Then if you want to comment to that group, you go to My Topics and those are threads you have joined. :)

    Hey ladies. Just wanted to share this site. It's for skiers, but I think it would help w/ derby as well.

    You should go to Derby Days - they'll teach you how to skate and you can see how your ankles hold up. So much fun. Or you could skate with the rebels - rec. league.

    How was everyone's weekend? Do any skating?

    I had to go for a jog after scrimmage yesterday since there were so many people - I think I only got 20 minutes of skating at a two hour scrimmage. Boo.

    SIRG has 45 skaters now, so I imagine there will be a significant amount of turn taking in the near future.

    I don't do derby anymore due to some shoulder injuries but I'm still a non-skating member of my league. I still skate when the weather is nice. It's such a good workout and it doesn't feel like work when it's something you truly love doing!

    Yay DERBY! A group dedicated to this would be awesome. I'd LOVE to learn how to ski but haven't really tried it yet.
