As part of a fledgling team I greatly appreciate you sharing instructions...this move rocks! Something to strive for, and thanks again Bonnie. I am definately a fan!

I live in Australia and Roller Derby is starting to take off here. I am thinking of trying out for the local team. I used to figure and speed skate when I was a bit (a lot) younger so I think I will get the hang of it. Your videos are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers, TJ. By the way... You rock.

tanks... i just got back into this after an 8 month hiatus and these rules are a lot to relearn!

[@DavidAWA]

I went to one Roller Derby game in New York and fell in love with it!

Jersey Vixen: You are right, it is VERY close. It is all going to depend on exactly when the block stops. You also want to be careful about rotating too far and making it a Clockwise block.

[@thornedust]

Wow this is awesome! Thanks!

[@olivebat9010]

You are a great teacher! Broke it down just right- I understand it perfectly :)

[@div8digital]

@mcschwagnip As per this portion of the rules that pertain to multi-player blocks: 6.7.9 Maintaining a multi-player block to impede or block an opponent, causing her to fall or lose her relative position.

[@genay33]

I love love love this

[@Ser1alExper1ments]

wow Brilliant! I will explain this at my team! ♥

[@billiekillerray9734]

On reading the rules, i've found the thing that makes this legal. There is no impact, no penalty by 6.9.9 - A skater coming to a stop as a result of giving an assist.So I'm definitely trying this :)

[@anniekyss5401]

wouldn't this either give a direction of game play penalty or a stop block? I love the move but if you end up hitting the opposing blocker it would easy to be called on a penalty?

[@billiekillerray9734]

This is what i was wondering too.

[@JerseyVixen19]

but... it kinda looked like bonnie came to a stop as she was whipping and hitting the opposing blocker. wouldn't that get called as a stop block?

[@grizinohio1]

Using WFTDA rules the very last demonstration would be a multi-player block and the initiator (Bonnie) would be going to the penalty box for a major penalty. Other than that this is a great whip, but shouldn't be used for blocking purposes in a WFTDA bout.

[@charlottelingo1947]

I skate for San Diego derby dolls jrs

[@iwatcher69]

wholly shit i'm from SD and I didn't know we had a roller derby team.

[@kerapolis]

i would totally use it, but i'm trying to look up in the 40 million pages of new rules if hitting someone in the front of the chesk like that is actually legal at all.

[@kerapolis]

if it looks fun, you probably cant do it in WFTDA. is it legal?

[@iwatcher69]

Wait a minute, is that San Diego Texas, or San Diego California?

[@TigreCorazon]

not necessarily necessary...
