Montreal Roller Derby Bootcamp off to a bang! and a wham!

Jessy’s an internet friend of mine, someone I’ve known since we started following each other on Twitter last year, (follow me @linamariepony). Both avid Derby fans (and homos!) I got some skates, but Jessy is the one who made it to the Bootcamp in the end. I had a time constraint but I am going to learn how to skate first, also. Anyway, Jessy’s got a derby n00b blog! If you’ve ever wanted to get the inside on what REALLY goes on at Bootcamp, check her blog. It’s painfully detailed, but I like that.
