MRD's CJ's TAKE ON NH SKATE FREE OR DIE

So much to say about this bout. The number on the scoreboard at the end of the game made no difference to the girls from New Hampshire. They look at every skating opportunity as a growing experience and are the best losers I've every met. No really, not a single one was upset about the loss and they all came to the after party and had a blast. It is rare to meet girls so humble and willing to learn. For me the true winners of this game were the ones who tried their hardest from NH. This leads me to ponder a particular conundrum in the skating community. Girls who skate and skate and push themselves to the point of no return and girls who skate for the absolute passion of the game. Obviously there is a crossover of skaters who fit both categories but I think it is so important to remember that we are all in love with the same sport and sometimes the winners are not the winners at all. When we played Montreal last time these girls came to the after party and seriously taught us some skills on the dance floor. They were decked out in the sickest 80's gear and seriously busted out mad break dancing moves on the floor. They were fun and real. I just want to thank all of the woman who work so hard to make this sport safe and fun.

On another note, SLAM is sidelined again due to ANOTHER injury. This is what happens when you over train. It just takes a toll on your poor body. Now I have trochnateris bursitus of the hip which is going to require some cortisone injections in my hip. Uhhgg!! Hope to be back on skates soon but for now I'm down for chillin' with my Slamito.
