Great job with the hoop moves. Time for me to start learning some, I think. :)

Looking good! And I haven't thought about that song in years -- nice music choice. :) I need to learn to do the escalator thing. It looks really cool! Report Inappropriate Comment |

Is that your new hoop? I like it and it matches your outfit. Bonus! Girl, you're getting goooooood. Go ahead and pop that escalator up into a halo, you already have the hoop up there anyway. You got that back lift down! Took me forever and a day to get that. It's fun, isn't it? You'll never get bored; there's always something new to learn. Keep hooping!  PS: You do an awesome job of editing your videos!

Well folks, I am sad to announce that our little derby team has had to dissolve. Due to many factors, i.e. lack of support from the community, lack of attendance and fresh meat, lack of a steady place to practice, etc. The biggest contributing factor to our dissolution is that this is the Army and everything is in a constant state of flux. We've had 3 players leave the team because they are leaving this Army Post or leaving the Army all together. 2 of them are pregnant. 2 of them are injured. That leaves 3 of us. The same 3 of us who have been struggling to keep this team together for a year. We have tried to get our name out there in the community and drum up new membership, but there are just not many people out here who feel like they can meet the challenge. :(
I am pretty disappointed because we didn't even get a chance to meet all of our minimum requirements and get rostered. But, it is what it is. I will try to keep skating when I can, and hopefully when we leave this post we will go to a place that has an established league I can try out for.
Although it's a sad thing, I am not going to let it get me down. We literally live out in the middle of nowhere. Our post is 40 miles from civilization. It is very easy to get depressed being out here, but I am not going to let that happen. I am really happy to have my Spark Community of Friends, even though we will most likely never meet. I am glad to have discovered the joy of Hooping. That is something I can do on my own and no one can stop me. I will just keep on keeping on (thanks SCHWINNER for the inspiration)! And thanks to all my Spark Friends for your support and advice! Love to you all!

Awww man, so sorry to hear about this!! Wish you lived closer; we have a fantastic roller derby community here (Cincinnati)! I hope this opens up your time for something new/exciting in the meantime! I know you'll fill that extra time with something else ;) Hang in there!

Aw no! That totally sucks. I think you have the right idea though, just keep skating and hope for the best-hopefully you'll move to an area with a more stable team. xoxo

Aww, that sucks!!!! Maybe you could do a Jr. Derby workshop or something, for some of the kids on the base? Maybe teach them some drills or something? At least you'd be skating. I hope your next post has a killer team and you can jump in.  In the meantime, you'll just have to keep honing your HoopNinja skills.

That sucks!!! I can't find a place to row since moving, so I understand having found something you love and then having to let it go. *HUGS*

Its always sad when something we love leaves us. (Especially something that let you take those FAB pinup pictures!) Even if you cant Derby, hopefully you and the other 2 will still be able to get together and skate.

I'm really sorry. How close is the next closest league? We have girls that travel 2 hours one way to skate (there are three of them but they aren't able to carpool often). We have another that travels about 1.5 hours one way and then I'm part of a group that comes about an hour one way. It's a pain in the rear, but doable and so worth it to actually be able to skate! There is a league in my area, but they are much less stable. Report Inappropriate Comment |

I'm sorry for the loss of the league. I live in No Man's Land and I love this community as well. It has brought sunshine on many cloudy days.  Have Fun Hooping! Report Inappropriate Comment |

Very sad to hear....without sounding cliche....when one door closes another one opens somewhere....oh and I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, you may not know what that reason is yet, or hell, in a year from now....but the universe has something planned, it just wants to keep you in the dark a bit! It'll fall into place eventually :) Comment edited on: 4/22/2012 1:20:45 PM Report Inappropriate Comment |
