Fuzzin' Boots

I remember every detail of my first practice. Leeds were joining Sheffield Steel Roller Girls that day for a mixed practice and after much persuasion from SJ Slay I went along. We were late which made my nerves horrendous! Did some laps then our lovely ref The Enforcer showed me knee falls - naturally I fell right on my arse whilst I was stood still listening to him! So very painful, a fall that I can still feel to this day!

I watched them scrimmage and just though, I am never gonna be able to do that! Feeling very sorry for myself and with a very sore bum I stood outside at the end of practice and was immediately greeted by all the Dolls. I remember Rosewhip and X-Con Vick in particular coming and talking to me... 'I hope hurting your bum hasn't put you off!' No it did not and so it began! A bit of blood, a LOT of sweat and maybe a few tears (shhh), but it's totally worth it!

I've learnt so much off each and every Doll and have so much more to learn. I can't thank them all enough for everything they do, Dolls past and present.
So here we are, I do a bit of this, I do a bit of that, but practice makes perfect and that's what I intend to happen... an impossibility you say? NEVER!!!
