    Hey I'm Laura a.k.a. Whips 'n' Lashes. I just started Roller Derby 6 months ago but I am addicted!

    I am currently training to pass my minimum skills so that I can progress to our advanced training sessions. I train with the Granite City Roller Girls Freshmeat in Aberdeen, Scotland; https://www.facebook.com/GraniteCityRollerGirls?fref=ts.

    My aim is to increase my strength and endurance and get back to eating better! I think I am going to need all the encouragement available!

    :) xo

    Hi! My name is Spam (lifelong nickname, I've had it longer than the email term), and I'm a house announcer for the Charm City Roller Girls in Baltimore. Before announcing, I was a few of their mascots, and before that, an enthusiastic volunteer who got hooked on the sport years ago, thanks to a friend who was also volunteering at the time (and later went on to be a skater for a short while). Announcers need to be healthy too, and if I get in good enough shape, maybe I'll finally join our local men's derby league (Harm City Havoc) and finally get to use the derby name I came up with for myself a few years ago: Slamuel L. Jackson.

    Hi, everyone!
    I'm Amanda. 23. SoCal.
    I'm on MFP trying to get into shape. [Yes, I wanna be the "damn, she got hot" girl when I run into people from the past. I'm almost halfway there, coming up on the 7 month mark.] So I figured I'd look through the groups on here to see if anything would give me more of a push and that's how I found y'all.
    I've been pretty interested in derby for the past couple years. I'd seen flyers around for different groups and I just always thought it was a cool looking sport and probably a really good way to burn off energy/bad days/whatever.
    I'm trying get into a better shape physically before I approach the Inland Empire Derby Divas - I believe they're the league closest to me. I don't even know how to skate but that's just cuz I've been a super couch potato. So I'm working on it.
    I just figured joining a group like this would be good as a way to pick people's brains and to see what sorts of things need to be worked on most for the demands of derby.

    Hi, I have been wanting to get involved in derby for at least four years but have been tied up with other things in life. So now I am going for it full force. I am prefresh meat but skate 2-3 sessions a week as work allows. My awesome girlfriend has been helping me since she retired from derby at the end of this past season. She has been putting me through the paces, working with me on and off skates. If all goes well I will be able to attend my local teams' DerbyU later this month and see where it goes from there.
