Someone posted this on the RMRG board since it showcases many of the hitting techniques were learning. I thought you would enjoy it. This video actually made me feel better. I hurt my knee about a week ago after an especially hard hit and multiple rollergirl crash while we were scrimmaging in practice. I felt like I shouldn’t be hurt and that my weak sauce knee betrayed my invincibility. It’s not bad, no bruising or swelling. I think I just stretched out my MCL. It works fine going in the normal directions, but any sideways motion and it’s still a little tender.

After watching this, I’m surprised that I even still have knees. Although these girls obviously aren’t newbies.

Tomorrow is the first bout of the season. I’ll be at the Fillmore from noon to 8 or 9 and at the afterparty at the Skylark if you want to stop by and say hi.
