In the second scrimmage, I just played blocker. But I made my intentions clear, the goal is to play pivot in the A/B scrims.

It would be well into the second scrimmage when I felt like I was playing better. In the first scrimmage, I played the jammer twice, and it felt like I played an equal amount of pivot and blocker.

So, my focus was a little divided in that game. Fortunately, I had 2 other experienced skaters keeping an eye on them. Note to self, step back from skating if I’m giving feedback to someone again. 💜

Such a fun game!! Thank you for having me!!

I’ll be performing as my sparkly self, @missvioletdeville.bsky.social, on Friday at @peepshowmenagerie.bsky.social!

I was frequently the pivot and spent a few jams just blocking. For the record, I was jammer for two jams—because I went to the box—and I even had a scoring pass.

I got to skate with Bad Habit Barbie, who I’ve admired for a while.

“Remember the last time i was here,” I said to the penalty box manager, “and I said there was still time to foul out? Yeah, that was a joke!” That was my 5th penalty of the game.

So far, I’m okay and no signs of a concussion.

Over all, I am super proud my C Team skaters who got to skate last night. They were fantastic!!

Last night’s @jetcityrollerderby scrimmage was a lot of fun. I played a lot pivot and blocking. I even had a scoring turn as a jammer. I scored 7 points before the jam was called for my add getting a factory reset by Moose. I came down hard and my head bounced off the hardwood.

I think that’s it for my homework. I’m definitely putting that into a Google Spreadsheet to track my progress on those.

• Work on backwards crossovers (Marilyn offered to record a video of some off skate drills to get the footwork down)
• Review the video Freight Train made me of her shoulder hits from Jammer at 180+ and practice those hits
• Practice getting my hand out of the way

What homework do I have to do?
• The pivot escape move from Perfecting the Pivot
• Work on hockey stops (in some place where they don’t magically become power slides! 😂🤣😭😭)

This is something I’ve worked on and to have it pop up again tells me I have work to do.

Fine, let’s turn that anger into motion and work on it.

If there’s a silver lining here it’s that I played good enough derby that I became a target. That’s a positive, right? Yep, let’s run with that.

Across all of that, I have homework to do. But first…

Let’s talk about that last game of #RollerCon for me, Are You Afraid of the Dawn vs. All That, and I’m still mad. Not at losing the game or at any of the players or officials. I’m mad at myself for allowing myself to be baited.
