Tortut ja piparit

Joulu tuli 9.12 Pasilassa, kun Helsinki Roller Derbyn Queen B´s pelasi ensimmäistä kertaa yhdessä Torttuina ja Tampere Rollin Ho’s ja Lahti Roller Derby muodostivat sekajoukkueen Pipareina. Vaikka kyseessä oli perheelle ja kavereille tarkoitettu harjoitusottelu, oli tunnelma mielettömän jännittävä. Minulle, niinkuin monelle muullekkin, tämä oli ensimmäinen täyspitkä ottelu treenien ulkopuolella. Jo lämmitteleminen alkoi hyvässä fiiliksessä ystävysten...

Lahti trip

The night between Saturday and Sunday on the week 12 was painful. I woke up (me, that’s Dynamina) ”in the morning” and a quick check to the direction of the clock notified my that I had overslept my first scrimmage and it was already two o’clock in the afternoon – then I woke up again,...
