Back On The Track // Groovy Hip Whips

Last sunday another amazing Fresh Meat-training took place! It was really exciting because these past few trainings we’re learning more and more about the real deal. Checking, blocking and now even whipping!
It wasn’t an easy training, seen as the past few days had been very cold and the track was very slippery. Because of these poor weather conditions, the bout Rockcity Rollers vs. Brussel Derby Pixies was cancelled..
Even tho it was slippery, I managed to do my first 5 minute-sprint! I might have told you before that for our Minimum Skills Test, freshies have to be able to sprint 25 laps within 5 minutes. I never did this before, because the physiotherapist forbid me to overdo things. Even if I almost spinned out a few times, the final count was 22. So proud! Hopefully 25 will be manageable when the track gets better again.

But then, the whips and pushes. We started off with arm whips, first from the left and then from the right. We didn’t do both right away because it takes a different technique.
The hip whips were the funnest part tho! After making a pace line, the girl in the back had to hip whip herself all the way to the front. While doing it, people kept yelling “lower!” at me. First I thought I had to bend my knees more, because that’s my most-made mistake, but they actually meant that I had to grab lower, more hips and less waist. Oops. By grabbing someone’s waist instead of their hips, you make them go off balance. Sometimes I also whipped myself too strongly and almost made one of the Beef Jerkies make a turn. Sorry girls, still learning!

Unfortunately, upcoming Sunday there won’t be training because of Easter. Meaning it’s only one bootcamp and one training left before the WFTDA Minimum Skills Test. Uhoh.

Roll on!
