Since our last blog, we've finally SET UP OUR BANKED TRACK!!!! Yes, it's true, Oklahoma's ONLY banked track is finally up and working :) Here is a picture of "The Beast"
Actually, this is a pretty cool story :) But before I get into that, I gotta tell you about our very first exhibition bout in McAlester last weekend!
The bout was awesome!! We skated at the McAlester Expo Center, which is a HUGE venue. We split the league into 2 teams: "The White Widows" and "The Blue Balls." Everyone played an incredible game... there were a lot of hard hits a tough spills. But in the end, the White Widows pulled ahead with a 59-48 point win. The crowd loved it, and we spent an extra 45 minutes after the bout signing autographs! Here are a few photos (you can view more on our MySpace page www.myspace.com/cb9originalplayaa):
The bout was awesome, and we're so proud of all the girls for putting in their best efforts and kickn' major ass!
Before the exhibition bout, the Board of Directors decided that it would be pretty cool to surprise our girl by setting up the banked track without them knowing :) So once we got back from McAlester, we rallied the troops and managed to secretly set up the banked track in 2 days, so when they showed up to practice the next Thursday... it was a TOTAL SURPRISE!!!! We got the whole thing on video, and it was exciting to see the looks on their faces when we opened the big garage door to reveal a completely constructed BANKED TRACK!!! HEE HEE!
It's getting pretty late, so I'll try to update again tomorrow (or at least later this week).
