Well, I guess what Twitter is telling me is that I should tweet more about roller skating.

@AliciaBiggley When you’re finished with Insanity let’s us do a regular jam skating workout 😘😘

[Artoo @rdjunkies]

Learning to jam skate solely so I can make up a routine to this song, the anthem of 2020

Sadly, due to an early-aughts hard drive crash, I don’t have many pictures from that first year of skating aside from those comics I drew. The only one I can find is this very 90s photo of my first pair of quad skates on the old Interskate 91 carpet. (It’s very classy.)

This morning while practicing, I realized that I‘ve now been roller skating for a decade. It’s become one of the mainstay hobbies of my adult life, and led me to accomplish dreams I never even knew were in my heart.

I’m so glad I still love it as much as my 22 year old self did.

@jessicacjones14 Yassssss

@anyiarocks Do it! It’s also a hell of a workout — I feel like I have it maybe 60% after two sessions, and they’ve been the best cardio ass-kicking.

[Artoo @rdjunkies]

Spent two hours trying to learn this, and I now have a new appreciation for both artistic skaters and TikTok dances. 💀

[Artoo @rdjunkies]

@Ballin_tine RIGHT. It is so good. And so hard.

My life has been pretty work-heavy over the last few months, but I found some time a few weekends ago to film this little ditty: Here’s how to film yourself and review footage on your phone to get better at roller skating 🎉 https://t.co/Ukhug8QG96

[Artoo @rdjunkies]

On that front, the Olympic committee also recently released some return to play guidelines that are an interesting read: https://t.co/Pmf6JRkjs9

[Artoo @rdjunkies]

This is written largely around pro sports returning to play, but I found it fascinating: https://t.co/qQzJZbcP2m

@anyiarocks Yep. Virus can’t live long in the air. I’ve been going out for walks or sits on my porch and just avoiding folks.

@alexhanna Children of Men? (Though it might get weird if you’re not paying attention)

@labrosski @BigSkyRanch1 What a sweet babe! Welcome to dog life 💙

[Jason Gay @jasongay]

this is good from will and i'd add : social distancing and closed off sporting events are for curbing spread, not something to do when the virus hits hard. it's a preventative strategy, which is why a "wait and see" approach from leagues/NCAA is off base.

@scar2beatu @thederbyapex Can I miss you and at the same time want to set you on fire?

[Artoo @rdjunkies]

@piggleg @thederbyapex I will second that. CT doing some w.o.r.k

[Rolls Baby @rollsmarysbaby]

@skatenado @thederbyapex In case you're wondering, last year we had 10 total. (Me, Bang, Evans, Polly, Brute, Mutch, Tenacity, Toxic Haste, and Gal)

[ruby! 🍄 @ziggystarcrush]

we are the CURRENT of roller derby. There are at least 5 former juniors on the #1 league in the WFTDA.
Junior derby isn't just a half time show to gawk at the children on skates.
It's a real sport for real young adults.
