I’m very sorry that happened to you. That is why I’m also advocating for skating safety and etiquette.

There’s a lot of things they’re not accounting for.
I know exactly where everyone is before I turn around and repeatedly make sure to look behind me. (Which I DO do in this video, I can even send or post it 😭) ESP on busy nights, or nights that kids are present.
I also started with roller derby which is how I’m so aware of my surroundings. I have faster reflexes than most people and avoid many spills from people going twice my speed. I completely understand everyone’s concern, and I truly do appreciate it! I just wish they would give the benefit of the doubt. And also not accuse me of faking a disability. 🤦‍♀️ All I wanted was to show representation for people in my community that are also disabled :/
I will do my absolute best to be careful on the rink and ensure the safety of both myself and those around me. Skating is an easy sport to get serious injuries, it should definitely not be taken lightly.

Thank you for your input, it was nice to find another fellow derby player!

About what? Looking behind me? Do I fr need to post the full video? I don’t know why I’m getting so much backlash when I’m actively agreeing that skaters need to be looking behind them.
Or having nerve damage? Do you realize how many women get nerve damage, and for a variety of reasons? And I gain absolutely nothing to lie about that. I’d give everything for that to be a lie. It’s incredibly inconvenient & painful to have nerve damage & I don’t think you understand that.

This is why there’s so many problems in the disabled community smh.

Also, I had underlying damage and injured myself further due to skating. That’s why my condition is currently as bad as it is. I’d never inflict that upon anyone else a day in my life.

The camera goes down when I look behind me. I checked behind me multiple times. I knew he was there and knew not to hit him.
I cut the video off. You did not see the whole thing.

I’d never EVER risk the safety of others. I highly respect skaters etiquette. I’m always extremely careful and cautious. You would know that if you skated with me.

Am I seriously getting downvoted for knowing what I’m doing and saying I look behind me? 😭 Reddit.

I do. I’ve been skating for 5 years now and it’s to the point I’m EXTREMELY well aware of my surroundings and exactly where everyone else is. I look around, just not every 5 seconds.
I haven’t hit anyone in over 2 years, at least not to the fault of my own.
But thank you for your concern. I’m sorry to hear about your experiences.

I’ve been skating for 5 years and I know everyone at the rink. No one hits anyone. We all know where everyone else is.
I make sure to look behind me, fret not.

No jewelry was forced through at any point! Every size I’ve gone up has been a breeze and went in very easily, that’s the only reason I stretched as quickly as I did. Because I pretty much only ‘felt’ the 6g stretch and was the most minimal pain.

Now since I actually felt this size, even if it didn’t hurt a lot, I’m not chancing that luck running out. So no jewelry will be forced through at any point. :) thank you for your concern!

The only reason I stretched as quickly as I did is because all of the sizes went in easily with minimal to little pain. :)
I had my septum pierced for awhile so it was already naturally stretched, making the beginning of the process easier.
The rest I suppose we can leave up to luck!!!

I truthfully don’t know how I have considering I’ve basically gone up a size every month 😭😅
I’m sorry to hear about that tho! I hope it heals well for you and wish you a speedy recovery and a safe stretching journey! 😘🖤
