So I got the call today and I start "no skates" training and conditioning on Thursday. I am so pumped!! The only issue I can forsee currently is that practices run from 5-6:30 at night and they are held on the other side of the island, and I don't get off work until 4. Hopefully I will be able to work something out and maybe leave work a little eairler one day a week. I want to be a derby girl so bad, I can taste it!!

The cheapest but still good pads are going to be triple 8's. Step up from there are 187 pads and they are wonderful and so far have been my favorite. The best pad and most expensive is from www.prodesigned.com They managed to keep the thickness and yet still make the pad wonderfully slim making cross overs much easier. As soon as I can scrape together the money, I will be up-grading to these. Iv'e seen them and they are truely awesome.
Any skate helmet will do, just dont buy a bicycle helment. They dont fit the head right in case you would fall. My suggestion is to just go to a skateboard shop or something similar, and find a helmet you like there, so you can try it on. You want the helmet to fit perfectly on your head and the straps to be comfortable in case you do fall. I had to scrap my first helet because the straps rubbed wrong on my hair line.
A word of encouragement. When I first started, I was a bigger girl. I figured I would at least make a good blocker. Derby took off the weight fast and I am currently the highest scoring jammer on my team. You never know what you will be good at. Good luck and feel free to ask anything else
