Almost had an aha moment last night. After several tries, I managed twice in a row to get it spinning above my knee for 5 or 6 rotations. Then lost it. But after those two successful tries, I couldn't do it again. Perhaps I was tired. Hooping is quite the cardio!
This gives me hope that I'll eventually get it. I just don't have it yet......

Derby Goals changing
Had some disappointment in the structure of derby practice for 2016. The main league are overhauling practices and who can come. I used to love coming to Thu night skills night. Usually it was individual skills stuff, but not all Day One, which gets boring after awhile. I was usually the only rec league skater who would join, sometimes I'd have other rec league skaters but usually me.
Except now, they are restricting Thursday night to skaters who've passed assessments.
Gee, if they wanted me not to come on Thursday nights, they could've just asked.
I guess in essence they're not allowing newbies on Thursday night but are instead offering another practice weekly just for newbies. This will be Saturday mornings at 10am. Nope. nope nope nope. For the same reason I don't go to the Sunday morning practice at 10am. I get two days a week to sleep in. I live hella far from the practice warehouse. I would need to wake up around 8am in order to make a 10am practice.
Nope.
But I'm so disappointed. I had thought I might make a goal for 2016 to pass assessments, maybe at least Day One. Not anymore. I'll skate with the rec league on Tuesday nights. But they only skate Mar-May and Sep-Nov. On Tuesday nights. If I can't also have a Thursday night, there's no point. I am NOT going on Saturday morning.
Well, never say never, I don't like to say never, but I highly, HIGHLY doubt it.
I'm just totally bummed out by this change. Maybe it's a sign from the universe to focus more on hooping.
