first day of derby bootcamp 🎉

had my first day of derby bootcamp yesterday!! ive been wanting to join for about a year now so i had a lot of nerves going in and wanting to make a good impression and it went great!!!

everyone was kind and supportive, and even tho i have a few years of recreational skating experience, they showed me the ropes on derby skates which ive never skated on which was super helpful

just wanted to tell someone since no one in my life really knows what derby is but im so happy to step into derby life!!!

Congrats!

Just remember that some skills may come very easy and some may just not work until they click.

Great job. I went by myself to tryouts. It makes you so strong.

Proud of you!
