City Life part 3# Roller Derby night

Wow everyone! Hey, it's been awhile since I have been able to upload anything for this site. Needed to get the good ole copper line broadband connected at my studio. Anyways I have been really busy with my new job, new life and all the hurdles thrown at you when we begin new paths in our lives. I have been discussing and exploring a lot of new options to take on my journey and choosing the right ones or thinking we are at the right time can be tricky. Well on the positive side, it's been an adventure. Random memories I will cherish with me as I will always remember this big step in my life and all the challenges brought with it.


One of my favorite memories I want to share was for the roller derby finals. Was my first time and this sport I had no idea how fun it was going to be. Me and my new friends, who I had only met moments before for the first time in real life, were all going to go together. Then after wards go to a new club just down the road from where I live, and one of those friends had a $100 bar tab there. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me, meet new friends, watch roller derby and then drink free alcohol! Awesome start to my new life up in Auckland.

Roller Derby:  A game played on either a flat track or banked track. Members of both teams wear quad skates and circle the track in packs. The pack for each team consists of a pivot and three blockers. There is also a jammer for each team on the track who tries to score points by passing opposing blockers.
