I started this blog to record my journey into the crazy world known as Roller Derby! I was apart of starting Sandusky, Ohio first all female roller derby team, I want to record this exciting time in my life because I've never felt stronger or more empowered than i do when i strap on those skates and go out fighting on the flat track. It so strange to me because roller derby is such a simple idea but it brings so much passion and sisterhood among your fellow teams mates, its a feeling like none other. Not only is roller derby a true sport but you also have the showmanship side which is great because you get a chance to express yourself while kicking ass.
Above all things that rock about roller derby I would have to say the feeling of acceptance is the most valued. Acceptance among the group of girls I play roller derby with it, because doesn't matter if your short long small big young old you leave everything you have on the track and together as a group form something unstoppable. Its an amazing feeling, so many different kinds of girls play roller derby but your all there to capture just a taste of the empowerment, strength and sisterhood roller derby brings into your life.
I cannot wait to record all the good, bad and even ugly moments during my journey with my Sandusky roller girls but no matter what happens I'll have remember this amazing time in my life with my roller derby sisters <3
