Last night, as a newer person, I was pulled aside with a couple of others to practice falling

Oh No!!!!! (hehehe... sorry... hehehe) ;P

Practice makes perfect! I know you'll get it!

Oh... fallings easy. But some of these people make it look graceful. I'm not one of them yet, but I'm getting there.

But no matter how good you are at it, falling while on skates at speed is never without a little jarring.

With me being a big man, I always feel like I'm going to take up flooring with me as I'm sliding 5 feet across the floor on my knees.

Good fun! :)

LoL, yeah I remembert skating as a kid in middle school, and falling while going super fast was not a great nor fun experience heh.

I remember the stories my sister told me when she was learning to fall when they started their league.

I've got a couple of good bruises across the my lower back and top of my butt. I think their from landing on my skates doing the baseball slides.

And of course, my thighs and ribs all hurt.

We stuffed ourselves into a hot salt bath last night, and then traded rubbing sore spots. <3

Woohoo. And we have practice tonight! Although, tonights should be a little lower impact. Mostly foot drills and maneuvers. I hope! ;)
