At the beginning of scrimmages, I tend to cough and pee myself. I have no clue why. No clue why it happens every time- it's not a nerves thing. It's getting old though.

Fairly accurate? Source: Other derby girl.

Edit: Except so much of the contact would be considered illegal. You def can't just hit someone in the face.

Edit2: And yes- Flat track does not equal banked track derby. The stories from some of our league formers are insane- especially 10 years ago+.

I wear padded shorts...those shorts sure can hold onto pee. I don't like that fact- since I wear them to every practice and then I have to wash them after scrimmages. I never EVER pee myself if I get hit. What's up with that?

Did you ever have to correct bad form when learning how to skate? If so- how? Anything off skates? I'm consistently duck kneed and skate on my outside edges- but for the life of me, no matter if I think i'm on my inside edges... I'm not. :( :( :(

Exactly why the reddit name (which is my derby name). I totally get hit by shorties in the face- they tend to do a shoulder reach when I'm in derby stance. That's why I wear the s1 with visor. <3

I'm just going to have to accept that I'll either high block or get lower.
