Weekend in Crime City

Bonnie Bompa, Pia and Finnish girls

Me and Loony had one of those rare weekends that we acctually were in Malmö, the entire weekend... but no rest for the wicked...soo...
This weekend we as in Crime City held a little bootcamp, we had girls from Gothenburg Roller Derby, Aarhus Derby Danes, Kallio Rolling Rainbows, Copenhagen Rollerderby, Stockholm Rollerderby and probably somewhere else attending. And it was the best time ever... it was FUN and we all had a blast. It started up with advanced on Friday, while Saturday was our basic day and ending with Sunday being advanced drills ending in Scrimmage - White vs. Black.
It was good for us, since we had a chance to let the girls, that are skating against London Rockin Rollers on the 23rd of July, skate together. We are running a little of a newer roster since some of our skaters are going to RollerCon in Vegas.

Well, the weekend was a success and everyone seemed like that had a great time, and once again I must say, like I have done so many times before, that it is so amazing to see how European Rollerderby is coming along and how everyone are pushing themselves, each other and developing.

I got to enjoy hanging out in parks, jumping into the ocean all derby sweaty, drinking peoples beers, talking rollerderby and not-rollerderby with a whole bunch of amazing people... and in the end we cut Maloonys hair... but that was not even during the weekend anymore... and Bonnie Bompa supplied her and the two crazy Finns with two bottles of vodka...

Heading South in Sweden and Derby Boot Camp

Always fun to meet and skate with different girls!

After exploring the nature all morning we (me, Loony and Krazy Kris) jumped into the car and are heading back south... Stockholm is done for this time and hopefully we will be back next month. This weekend Crime City are running a little bootcamp, we have girls from Aarhus Derby Danes (Denmark), WestCoast Bombshells (Sweden), Kallio Rolling Rainbows (Finland) and some other random girls coming for the weekend to share som rollerderby fun.
Saturday is for everyone, some basic drills (that you never can do too much of) and endurance and, and on Sunday we also invited some of the Copenhagen girls, since we will scrimmage. This is going to be super duper fun....

It was nice to be in Stockholm and not coach a derby camp, it was nice to talk to people about something else but derby, even if we did sneak in some derby... there is always derby to be snuck in!

Superheros on skates

Yesterday I worked an event with Aarhus Derby Danes and Copenhagen Rollergirls, it was good times. We greeted guests at a party with 18,000 people in the middle of nowhere. It was quite an adventure, not to talk about the trip there... All I will say about the trip there is that we were in a rental van that would not do more than 108km/h... I named the van "Big Blue" it was orange on the inside and blue on the outside... there was water dripping from the internal lamp and the glove compartment was filled with a blackish oily liquid... but in the end it did the job and we got our job down.

The actual work was just to skate around and greet the guests, smile and greet, the floor was polished concrete, so it was very pleasant to skate on...

Today me, Loony and Kris are going to the Sauna and then hitting up a all-you-can-eat sushi. I figured if the food that you can eat is mainly healthy, you can't really feel bad about eating all-you-can of it...
