Hey there, my name's Josh, I'm 40 and I live in Corvallis, Oregon. My grand parents owned Lake Park Roller Rink from the early '70s until around '97 when my grandfather passed. The first 20 years of my life -- my earliest memories of childhood were at that rink. I was a competitive indoor speed skater in my earlier years, but I never went anywhere with it.

The rink was recently purchased by a local derby team and they've asked me to start coaching them. Not knowing anything about the sport, I've agreed to act as a trainer.. Helping them with their technique, conditioning, etc. in exchange for session time on the rink floor. I really just like going fast.

A lot has changed in 20 years and I'll have a lot of questions. Thanks!
