Tonight I practiced with the Heartbreakers and I was super impressed with the team culture. They actually had me take on the jammer role for the drills and I didn't die, so maybe I'm more of a jammer type.
Oooh, so I also jumped over defense for the first time. It was kind of like an apex jump, but just on a straight away. I was kind of surprised that I actually made it, and it was definitely a confidence booster for me. I was however getting stuck behind walls a lot. I'm still fall victim to Jamnesia as I get stuck in the zone and forget about the star pass option. Overall, it was a fun night and as always, I learned a lot about body positioning.
So after skating with the Texas Rollergirls, just for fun, I've actually assigned each team an Enneagram number, and since you are not supposed to type people, I'm just going off of my perception of each team. The Hotrods are like 8's. The Hells are like 1's, the Hustlers are like 4's and Hearts are like 6's. Of course these are just generalizations because within each team, there is a range of personalities from 1-9, which is why the derby culture is so amazing!
