Good idea, Hawt Rod.
I'm K-Shock. Also fresh meat and looking forward to honing my skills for maximum kick-assing on the track as well. By day I'm a music and education major at DePauw, so I play the trombone a lot and spend the rest of my life with my nose in a book or reading articles on a computer. The eventual plan is to be Dr. K-Shock, in library sciences or musicology, or both.
Outside of that, I have interests in weird sports (the chief being curling and bowling), early surrealist art, video games, the internet, books, and hitting people on skates (because that isn't weird at all). Curling isn't weird. It's awetacular. |

If I hadn't joined derby, I'd likely be trying to train for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Circle City Curling has some very nice people who'll let you try it. Make a date out of it.

How much does it cost to try it out? Badeline and I were looking at doing it, but the cost for the lessons downtown were prohibitively expensive.

$25 per person. I suppose that is awfully expensive, but I had income at the time and my second was actually one of my professors. http://www.circlecitycurling.com/ |

Yeah, well I assumed I was going to suck, so it'd take a little time to get good...

K-Shock I have always wanted to try this and I love the skill and the strategy involved. I was addicted to this sport during the games.

I wish it were cheaper - the stones are really expensive and curling isn't big around here, so they have to work around the ice hockey rinks in the city. If it were more accessible, I'd be doing it a lot more. At least some Canadian TV sometimes streams some matches over the internet. I haven't watched much since the last Olympics, though.

I LOVE Curling. As a matter of fact when I met with the Forum the other day they were working out a deal to have curling there!
