Long Beach Roller Derby from District Weekly on Vimeo.
About a month ago I posted about a fun skate out I went on with a group from Moxi Roller Skate Shop. It was titled “I Took the Hill, It Didn’t Take Me – Conquering Fear on Roller Skates“.
I tried to describe the hill we went down and the speed we picked up but I didn’t have an adequate video or photo to accompany the story. Well, the video has now been posted at the District Weekly. It includes documentation of skating down the Cherry Beach hill as well as information about the up-and-coming Long Beach Roller Derby league. Check it out.
