Should I join RollerDerby?

If you really want to i think you should try it and if you dont like it then leave i guess. It wont hurt you to try. but if you are really busy and would like to go to college more than join the roller derby then do that.

Depends what rocks your boat really. My partner and I like this activity but not everyone does. That's life. Just as long as you have fun!!

Hey man, we like brothers. I am not exactly skinny, I'm about 170-180lbs. I was on my school's rec. basketball team. I didn't miss one practice. It was fun. I would join and see how it's like. It doesn't matter how much you weigh. Look at Robert Traylor. He was a big man and he played in the NBA for the Cavs. He's a free agent now, but it doesn't matter. He still played the game, and he was successful. If you love the game, then have fun playing it. I'm 13 and in middle school and next year, I'll be going to my high school, and I plan on joining the Fottball team, the basketball team, and the baseball team. I even plan on joining the track team for shotput and discus. All because I love playing sports. I'm a very competitive person. So, join you're basketball team, and DON'T QUIT IT IF YOU JOIN. If you quit, you'll be picked on for quitting and wasting the team's time. So if you feel that you can do it, than join and do it. Best wishes man! PEACE!

why don't u go with someone for a free trial. if u don't know anyone that is already going there call them and tell them that u would like to come in and see the place that u are thinking of joining the place i go to here offer me a free 2 day workout. with curves just opening up they usually let u try the place out even if its for a small fee just so they can get established in the area. i took a couple friends with me and they seen $$$ signs..lol talk to the manager. don't deal with anyone but her she can cut some slack. and there are a couple reg. gyms that offer the 2 week trials too.\ni even had someone help me for my first couple of times to each place to show me the new equipment and whats the best thing to do for my goal.

What about a skating or bowling party?? You sound like a mature 14 year old. Murder mystery sounds very unique and different. Go for it if you like it.

if u want to play soccer and on a certain team that requires tryouts than yes. tryouts are very intimidating but they are worth it    if u don't want to play soccer for this certain coach you could see if there are any recreational teams available

Does it feel good on your foot.  It should give you room to expand since your feet will grow slightly.  Make sure ther is room in the toe area too.  \n\nYou definatley want the brake in the back.  When I was learning how to ride a bike I enjoyed it so much I didn't remember how to use the brakes so I went straight into a light pole.  \n\nThe brakes on blades can be a little tough at first.  You will have to use balance.  \n\nRoller Blading is great and a good exercise too.  Don't do any fancy tricks at first.\n\nNow about buying them...\n\nGo to a sporting store like Dicks Sporting Goods or something of the like.  Shop around there and a few others.  If you see a pair you like then that's the way to go.  The can range from $40-$150.  So it is all a matter of what looks and feels good.  Try going to the roller rink and get a leg in(pun).  The rentals are crap but you will get a feel for size.\n\nGood luck.

some people learn to skate real good real quick. some take forever to learn how to even ollie. most pros you see today have been skatin since the 80's or easrly 90's. it can take a long time to get good. some pick it up real quick like sheckler or penny. it all depends on how much you want it. if you really want to land something commit. you always got to be tryin to get better. if you dont then youll never get good enough to be recognized by corporations. if you really want to try and get sponsered send a sponser me tape to your local skate shop. who knows you might get on a team.

Pretty good.  I go with my speedskating buddies.  But, if you're asking how you actually do it, you just have to practice.  Make sure you have really strong ankles if you're using any kind of skate other than hard hockey skates.

If you really want to play and you're willing to dedicate yourself to it, then yes you should try out. Don't worry about your size (at least not at this point). Get yourself into shape before tryouts/summer practice. Obviously strength training is important, but you need to work on your stamina and agility. Work on both distance running (a mile or two a day, work your way up to it if you need to) and short and mid-length sprints. For sprints, you want to run about 100 yards with about 30 seconds in between sprints, and a total of about 8 - 10. Running up and down bleachers is also a great way to get your legs into shape. As far as agility, work on running backwards while making sure to keep your balance and not shifting your weight back. Other than that, the best thing I can suggest is to talk to one of the coaches. The vast majority of teams have a "voluntary" off-season training program. If you can get into the program, the coaches will be able to help show you what you need to work on. It's also good to get involved so your face gets seen and the coaches start to know you. Of course, that can work against you if you slack off and don't work hard while you're there. Good luck, work hard, and have fun.

No I think if it is something you truly dream of doing then do it.\nI have a good friend who is a wrestler professionally. And my boyfriend is training to be in the meantime he wrestles ameturely and coaches. He is in his 30's and has wrestled since his early teens and loves every moment of it.\n\nI say go for it!!!

well for one thing you might want to get your own pair of skates because the ones they offer for rent at the rink are no good you might have noticed the way your feet lean to one side that's because the rental skates give hardly any ankle support. I have been skating for 8 years and i still can't stay up in those.  You might be trying hockey skates but i don't know anything about those but if you are using figure skates try to remember to not push off with your toepick you have to stroke using your whole blade. Skating isn't like walking you don't rock from heel to toe you push back and to the side not straight back if you're still having trouble and you want to get serious about skating most rinks have a group of coaches that you can get lessons from or you can enroll in the learn-to-skate classes that they offer

no one has given you a good answer yet so here goes...fine a track close to your home and get a set of rules for the lowest class at that track.it will cost less to run in this class and give you some experience.then you can move up as you get better....

If your anywhere near Yorkshire, I could do with a crew, for sailing trips, both in Yorkshire and the Lake District, Been sailing since I was 7, so should be able to show you what to do?\nDon't be scared to get wet, but an RYA level 1 or 2 course will give you a good starting platform.\nI would suggest going on a course, as there is so much you pick up that is very hard to put into writing, such as wind awareness etc...
