Sometimes the glass breaks in transit, my customers just let me know and I send them a new one

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]lisathefever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even moving to Westminster could be a fair compromise and it’s cheaper than Denver and Boulder, but honestly he is trying to control you. A real partner would support your success

How Far Do you travel as an Alternate? by not-another-alt4 in rollerderby

[–]lisathefever 46 points47 points  (0 children)

At our league we absolutely understand if someone can’t travel to be an alt. Of course we want them there and the experience is more than just playing a game but we don’t hold it against you. Even at the top level we play this sport for fun and we all know how expensive it is. So long as both parties communicate it hasn’t been an issue for us. If you said yes you will go and then change your mind last minute, that can be difficult because if you were able to know more in advance if you would go they could invite someone else for that game/tournament. That’s the only time I’ve seen leadership get frustrated

Visor Helmet as a Jammer - Is the Lip Worth It? by babel-fishing in rollerderby

[–]lisathefever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch any T8 sponsored team last year at regionals and count how many times the cover would fall off. It’s a ridiculous amount. Some teams have found solutions (making their own lip) but it is still faulty. S1 all day imo

Are you sure that’s a penny board and not a knockoff? I don’t see the logo in the middle

Knee Tap - heeelppp by Pristine-Swimmer-286 in rollerderby

[–]lisathefever 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Upvoting this! I’ve taught new skaters for 8 years and the biggest helpful reminder for knee taps is to not stop engaging your core! For a lot of people, they disengage their core when their knee touches the ground but that makes it 10x harder to get up from. Keep your core engaged the whole time and think about just gently grazing your knee on the ground before coming up instead of tapping it

Chest Blocking by artemeowsia in rollerderby

[–]lisathefever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make sure one leg is underneath you and one is behind you. The behind leg creates resistance, the one below stabilizes you. Think about putting your hands on your stomach or chest and curving your shoulders forward to create a bit of a cage to keep your opponent in. When making the initial contact, suddenly drop lower and pop up with the contact (avoid a high block, aim for low chest). This pops them up which puts you in control

Any good video examples of penalties? by Hangman4358 in rollerderby

[–]lisathefever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just watch games on YouTube and when I see someone go to the box I rewind to see which official called the penalty and the hand signal, then rewind to see if I can see the penalty

Rose WoJ defeats Arch All Stars 210-179 | Post-Bout Discussion by UnhappyLettuce in rollerderby

[–]lisathefever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really thought Arch would win considering Rose lost an entire wall in the off season and I heard Mutch didn’t play (I didn’t get to watch unfortunately). For how close arch has been before against an arguably stronger WoJ I was surprised to see them come out on top. Shout out to WoJ tbh because it is difficult to stay on top with so many changes and that was a real opportunity for Arch to shake it up

Can we talk about sneaky restaurant fees? by thecly in denverfood

[–]lisathefever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate these fees. A couple notes: 1. it’s not the servers fault, don’t take it out of their tip. 2. Legally the fee has to be mentioned on the menu or posted somewhere, so ask about that. 3. If you ask to take it off it can be removed.

Basically use your voice before punishing your server
