OPRed a game in Buffalo on Saturday night. Took the front position; only got burned a few times. At one point I was doing backwards crossovers where you pick up both feet to keep up - the last time I did these, I ended up in a JANE STOP THIS CRAZY THING loop where the only way I could stop my momentum was to wheel-lock myself and fall, but this time I was ok. There were a few points, though, where the coaches were creeping into the OPR lane and I could feel myself brush past them as I zoomed by backwards and I was like FOLKS WATCH WHERE YOU'RE STANDING BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET KNOCKED OVER 'CAUSE YOU'RE IN MY WAY.
There was also a point where two skaters crashed into the spot in the OPR lane just where I was going to skate, but some quick swoopy movements put me out of their way.
