Some long awaited footage

So.... be nice!

First a tiny snippet of my very first training with Slaughters Daughters. Skates borrowd from Badass Babuska, pads from the "pads pool" and lovely white helmet with flowers from my darling daughter. You'll see some general skating, low sticky skating, a hip-whip snake and then some balancing.

In this next video you see us trying out a new play called waterfall. I'm jamming (the only jammer) for the team dressed in black tops against the team dressed in light/coloured tops (not easy to see the difference in the vid). I have three of my own blockers skating as the pack and then four of the oposing blockers skating behind the pack one at a time spread out. This way they are spreading out the pack significantly to create a longer stretch of the track in which they are allowed to engage me (they are only alowed to touch me or be in my way as long as they are part of the pack). When you are more than three meters away from the pack, you are considered to be out of play, but stay at the max alowed distance and you have enlarged the pack by max three meters. Then the next girl has to stay within three meters of you and then you've enlarged the pack by max 6 meters, etc etc.

We are playing soft and not at full speed to get a feel for the play. Lady Lovely Blocks, who was coaching, added the rule of doing ten push-ups when fouling or getting out of bounds. 

To any potential sponsors (or sugar daddies) out there ;). As you can see we are in desperate need of coloured vests (you know, those netted thingies you pull over to create teams) and a bigger (or emptier) practice venue with a hard floor.

Derby kisses,
Dutchess.

PS be nice and I'll try to get more film/photos up every now and then. Be nasty and I'll kick your ask!
