On Scooter's Falls: This past Monday, I went to the Scooter's Indoor Speed Club practice. I didn't skate because my knee is still injured. Instead, I watched practice. It was a strange practice; many people seemed to fall. I witnessed all sorts of falls ranging from multi-skater pile-ups that damaged someone's leg all the way to a few self-induced falls.

While I was watching the practice, the falls, and the relays on the side-lines with a few other skaters who weren't skating, I found that I was either closing my eyes, saying 'woahhhahah ahha what the heck was that??' when it was clear that someone was about to go down or after a fall took place.

Since I hadn't really watched a skating practice in a long time, I figured that the falls and the chaotic action during the relays is 'normal' stuff that I don't see when I am involved in skating or coaching.

Earlier this evening, I read Candy Wong's blog and her recent entry Splat; about Monday's practice, she wrote 'If you did not fall during practice, please raise your hand. If your hand is up, give yourself a pat on your back. I think we must have set the record for the most number of falls for one practice... To all the injured skaters in the club, I hope we will all be back to 100% soon'.

Aaron Arndt also noted the recent flurry of falls in Back to school and some randomness he says 'The skaters at Scooter’s are really flying these days! The skill level of the group has improved unbelievably, and they are starting to be masters at some pretty difficult and comlicated drills.... Unfortunately, with the elevated speeds, and increased passing comfort and ability, the risk and effect of the crashes increases dramatically. This is a big shout out to those suffering from skating injuries; Stay sharp team!...'.

(About the Ottawa skating scence, Aaron says that he'll be there at practice this Saturday and says 'Also, there might just be a few Publow sightings around the Canadian Skating scene these days')

Ok, I guess the chaos and all the falls that I witnessed don't happen on a reglar basis.

That's a good thing.

If skaters fell that often on a regular basis, I think the Scooter's club would be pretty darn small.

Then again, I think if skaters fell that often on a regular basis, the club would probably be just as big and successful as it is now. Many of the members of the Toronto (and beyond) skating fraternity hang out before or after practice, and I like to think that the friendships and the bonds that people share keeps us coming out. It was nice to reconnect with the gang last Monday after skating.

I also like to think that the quest for a healthy body through roller (or ice) speed skating is also something- a motivation or reason- that keeps people involved and coming out to attend practice.

And as I write and while preach about the importance for all of us to support skating and attend practice, the Scooter's club is practicing... and I sit at home.

I have my reasons for not being at skating though. I can't skate right now due to my knee injury and I have to write a plan and a proposal for a program for work, and I have to present it tomorrow morning at 8am.

Hip hip horray for skating and a big loud booooooooo for waking up early.

6 Years: Here's an interesting article that hits as close to skating as possible; Dad Who Gave Son Steroids Is Given 6-Year Sentence. 'James Gahan admitted giving the synthetic testosterone and human growth hormone to his son, Corey, a champion in-line skater, who was banned from the sport, for at least two years...'. Here is Bill Begg's reaction from WOW; '...with so many top Champions from many sports in the USA being done for drugs, who is not on them?... the 6 years jail is a small price for him to pay, for stuffing up his sons life & health.

The Judge sent out a message to parents 0f Athletes, who want to excel.'.

By-Town Cancelled: Marathon Skating International's By-Town Marathon was set to take place in Ottawa this weekend. The race has been cancelled due to warm weather. I heard that there were some grassy patches on the track. Grass?? Hmmm.
