oh shit I just skated against him. This dude is with Montreal now. I'm new to derby; fortunately he was kind enough to put on a hitting clinic for me during our bout.

Who would have thought 19000 people would watch this.

Any tips for tall girls hitting short girls? Rev said that hip checks aren't for us. :(

[@victoriawheat123]

He is right about the hip check not for tall peeps, I'm 5'10 and most of the girl I practice with are under 5'6 and I fail to give proper checks every time because I can't get low enough for it to be effective.

Daaaang The Rev looks different now. xD Skating with Team Canada!

Don't forget aim for the leg on the opposite hip. Go THROUGH the person. Don't just stop at her/him.
