Last night I attended me second roller derby up at Bamboozles in Ft. Myers. Those who know me know that after I watched my first bout I was hooked. I am now planning to try-out in July. EEEEEEEEKKKKKKK! I can’t wait but I’m nervous because I have never been in anything even approaching “in shape”. I hope I can make the cut & then continue to get more fit. Clearly, if I do make the cut I will have to! Those girls are athletes. They skate up to 10 miles just warming up for a bout. They practice to 2-3 hours at least 2 or 3 times a week. They are in amazing physical condition.
Anyway, here are some blurry & dark photos – I stopped taking them after I realized how much my camera sucks so there are only three. They look like I have applied a Gaussion blur but I haven’t.

yep. we were there! it was exciting. I don’t know if i would go every time…but it was fun to do at least once! they need stacked seating to get a better view of the action and i think more people would go>>even though it was a packed house. they need a bigger venue and better seating and would make more money i think. I give it a 7 out of 10 for amusement and entertainment. The grlz kicked bootay for sure
yeah, i’m a total fan after my first bout last month. i’m sure it will develop as more people learn about it. they are tough chicks! thanks for the comment – I’ll look for you on Facebook.
