I hope everyone had a great holiday! It was nice to take a break from work and daily routines and spend time with my family. How about all of you? Did anyone get a derby related gift that they would like to share? I'd love to see. Send me some pics! If you don't have my email already, here it is: ettajams@yahoo.com I follow some other blogs, Roller Derby Disorder being one of them. I read an entry on there the other day and because of it's importance, decided to re-post it here for all of you. The entry was regarding a survey that was initially posted on the Roller Girls Yahoo! Boards, which I really should be reading more often.....ahhh if only there was more time in a day. I completed the survey and it only took about five minutes, maybe even less. The survey is mainly for skaters who have bouted or at the least scrimmaged. Who knows if this really will be helpful to us in the future, but it doesn't hurt to give it a shot. Here it is:

I really like learning how they wish to study about Roller Derby injuries and possible ways to help prevent them or even heal/recover. I think this could def help keep girls in Derby who have been hurt before. I'm sure I've also scared the survey people by listing my injuries that I've received from Horseback riding lol.
