I am a very talented bench-coach

Call me Bench Manager Swede

In Hell...

Yes, I'm at MayDay in Hell, and yesterday I went to a Helsinki Roller Derby practice, and that was good times, floor was more sticky than I expected, wish I had worn all G-rods, instead of the Stingers with G-rods combination I decided on, after someone saying that girls were using Poisons... 
TOday I'm leading a couple of hours of practice and then there is scrimmage, mixed scrimmage that is set up as a bout. So as I said, I have a bunch of girls that are going to gel and play like a team, and I cannot make them too tired, since they are supposed to play a bout later.... yeah... HOW ABOUT THAT??

Time to chomp down some bread and a banana (all I have) for breakfast before I head over to the venue and start coaching, hopefully this will be a GREAT day...

On my way to Helsinki

SwedeVix and CrimeCity have been eating my time latly, not that I mind at all - but the truth is that I do also have other obligations. Tomorrow I'm coaching two separate teams in Helsinki, two mixed teams of girls that have never met each other before - well most of them have not. I am going to MayDay in Hell, something I've been signed to do for over 7 months. AND I get to see Wile from FastGirls, who is one of my best friends, we usesd to skate together on the SockitWenches and the Allstars when I was on RatCity!! 
But this means I am missing the UK Invades Crime City tomorrow - and I am sad I will not be able to be there ans support the CCR girls who are playing their first and second bout, not my beloved Loony who gets to play her third bout.

So here I am on an airport, like o many other times, trying to figure out if any of those other girls at the gate are derby girls... I'm easy to spot since I HATE checking my skates, so I am always dragging my pink skatebag full of derbystickers around, and on top of that, my helmet is hanging off it.. So I am probably an easy derbygirl to spot.... well, I am really looking forward to meeting a whole lot of girls that are skating all around Europe... YAYAAA for European derby! So hot right now!

MayDay in Hell

I think this says it all

So I totally am going to coach during MayDay in Hell - and it is going to be exciting, I love skating with girls I have never met before. Watching strides getting familiar with each other and all that jazz... and of course exploring Finnish culture. I can say very basic sings like ''kiitos'' (thanks), ei sa peitää and some basic swear words... yeah - I guess that is what makes me Swedish, the ability to swear in Finnish, say I love them and of course also tell people not to cover the radiator (if you are Swedish and read this, I know you are totally nodding now)

But anyhow - before I successfully will insult not only my own people but also the people from the country of the thousand lakes I will continue to write about MayDay in Hell...

I am going there, and it will be fun, fun, fun... and if anyone that is reading this is going there too, and wish that I bring gear, wheels, laces, socks... pretty much anything from SwedeVix Skateshop... let me know... I am not only an amazing skater... I am also a delivery bitch (this I cannot say in Finnish)
