Watching the six nations is really really making me miss playing sport. 😢😢

There's so much I admire about the French: their sophistication, their cinema, their willingness to prosecute former presidents.

If you're anything like me and need a target to strive for, try a skate challenge. 🙌

I find myself making more space in my day and prioritising being on wheels and out in the daylight which is probably the best thing I can do for me. ❤️

@Livid_45 @thederbyapex That was also the game which brought us the beautiful moment of Trippy hitting RIP off track in the middle of an apex jump.

Lesson learned : always know where your own jammer is
Bonus lesson : and then don't hit them off track
Bonus bonus lesson : especially if it's your sister

[Hydra #56 @Hydra_56]

@Livid_45 @thederbyapex Oh god, they hated us. It wasn't OUR fault we were under-ranked!

I just remember Sally kept looking at the bench with that look on her face asking if she should keep going.

We can't give everyone a real piece of the Thunderdome to take home, but for those who lived the Dome experience, or wish they could have, we're doing pre-order run of a v cool commemorative t-shirt over the next week.

So sad to see the end of @wearerainycity’s home The Thunderdome as it’s getting demolished. Here’s my ode to the special place that was the backdrop for countless incredible moments. https://t.co/OLFjZlGNZe #derbytwitter

At the risk of revealing my soft, pop-loving nature, I'm gonna say @DollyParton 's 9 - 5. 'Cause the ONLY way that song could possible be better is on roller skates.

[All IN : Community Roller Derby @allincrd]

Everytime a skater hits a milestone, they get to add a song to our Skate Challenge Playlist!

What song would you add? What really spins your wheels and keeps you moving?

We're a very sad league this morning. Skater Kate Push has put it into words better than I could. Have a read. #SaveRainyCity

[Hydra #56 @Hydra_56]

Skate buddies - anyone fancy it? It's a pale shade of roller derby but it's wheels and moving and fresh air and COVID-friendly. 🤷‍♀️

[All IN : Community Roller Derby @allincrd]

Anyone out there fancy an amazing skate challenge?

127.5 miles on wheels, virtual postcards, badges everytime you hit a milestone, & a supportive community to egg you on and hold you accountable!

@Jonesy79_NZ Ah, I can't DM you! Can you DM me?

[Hydra #56 @Hydra_56]

Hey folks! As part of the #WFTDA Curriculum work, we're compiling a glossary of terms (say what?!) - as we approach our deadline, we could use a few more hands to the pump! Anyone out there love language & want to join a task team to finalise our glossary?

#DerbyTwitter

[Hydra #56 @Hydra_56]

@Jonesy79_NZ Hiiii! Nope - this curriculum is a for the whole of the roller derby community and we're happy for the whole of the roller derby community to contribute. I'll DM You. :)
