Practice #4 BLOW OUT

Practice # 4 started out like any of the other past practices. We skated around in a "Sprint" which I can't do yet - CROSSOVERS... ARGH.





We were paired up with our Skater Sister and then we were to pair up with another group. It was Roxie Rollin, her skater sister Fresh Meat Anne - this was Anne's first practice as she was on vacation and couldn't make it to the same practice that this fresh meat group started at - Myself and my skater sister Pixie. This started out that the last person in the line of four had to push the other three people around the track as the other three just stood in their skater stance. As Roxie started pushing and pixie was heading to the front of the Anne went down. I don't remember but I managed to get over her, not touch her and then fall down myself... Anne immediately said her ankle was broken and it definitely was - it was perpendicular and just wrong looking... That puts a damper on practice.

What was amazing was how this group of 25 girls was like a well oiled machine. One girl was on the phone with 911, another girl had an ice pack... It was scary but amazing at the same time. Anne ended up breaking 3 bones and everything in her ankle/foot was dislocated.... She wants to come back and skate! LOVE HER!
