Me and Bo skated in Chesterfield last night with Manchester Roller Derby’s Sui Cider. We had such a good time! We worked on basic things, but I think I need more practise with things like crossovers and T stops so it was great to get some more practise. I only had two vices about the session which was whacking my head on Shaun from The Inhuman League, which was painful(!), and my skates, which is another moan :(
I’ve tried doubling up on socks now and a slightly different lacing technique, but neither have helped. They are very tight around the ball of my foot so even though I slip less, I get really bad foot pain from around my toes :(. I still have got insoles and different lacing techniques still to try, so I’m not giving up on them yet :).
The Bombers are skating 4 miles (110 laps) on Saturday for Sport Relief, so that is what Bo and I will be doing for the weekend. Fun! x
