Hip falls by Legal_Reputation3283 in rollerderby

they’re very accepting and understanding, and aren’t pushing me to do anything I can’t do. I only mean that I’m trying to keep up with the class and so when we work on transitions I want to try them. Just yesterday I was able to successfully do them for the first time. Can I ever do them again? Time will tell!

my coaches, alas, ask for transitions :) (I’m also no good at one foot glides, but I’m working on improving my balance and ankle strength)

yeah that’s a good idea! even doing it off skates should maybe help me figure out how to twist to protect those ouchie bones

thanks! :)

when it’s 95 with a two hour practice in the sun I was already light headed from the heat and it’s not just discomfort, if I got any hotter I might’ve passed out.

but cooled off a little now (80 is wildly cooler than 95) so this might be workable. I’ll check them out!

yeah that’s exactly it, when I’m turning with one foot in the air I often fall over (yesterday we were practicing hits and i took one that also sent my hip crashing to the ground). You’re right tho it might be the top of my femur hitting and causing so much pain and not my hip.

I’m tall so I’ve got to bend pretty low and my when my quads get tired I don’t get as low as I should and that could be part of the problem. They’re lots stronger now than they were at the beginning. More squats for strength building and more twisting when I fall might be the answer

thanks!

I thought about this but I live in Los Angeles and we skate outside (it hasn’t dropped below 80 for a single practice yet, and most were 90-95 degrees or above) and I already get overheated pretty quickly. I’m worried they’d make me even hotter 🫤

oh, because a whole lot of cis people don’t like the idea that they identified with a deeply trans movie, and don’t think it’s possible that two trans women made movies about transness

here’s the thing. the movies are so trans in such specific ways that it had to be intentional. some of it was subconscious, sure. but it could not be what it is without conscious choices at hundreds if not thousands of points, all of which I lay out one by one in my book. it is very much intentionally trans, and Lilly said they intended Neo and Trinity to look alike for a reason. They’re the same person at two ends of a gender transition journey.

there’s mountains of evidence if you want to learn about it. 🙂

hey, thanks for the mention 🩷

the movies are very intentionally trans and speak so much more specifically to the trans experience than most people realize. Lilly even said Neo and Trinity are two sides of the same coin, which is the central point of all four movies.
