Magenta is prepared for any activity. She has frog boots for the rain. Fancy clothes for evenings out on the town. Roller skates for getting around town quickly. She even has bowling shoes. Her fashion sense & accessories are from Pipercat99.
I'm not actually set up, technique-wise or equipment-wise for shooting sports. So I have a lot of bad shots.
But one of my coworkers and his wife were visiting from out of town and wanted to see Roller Derby, which therefore meant that I'd have an appropriately geekly audience to watch with. So I helped transport him safely (my other coworkers snicker, considering that I drove him) to the rink and back from his hotel.
He was, of course, impressed by the well oiled San Francisco Bay Area weirdness-industrial complex which includes people who will attend events far out of the mainstream and sponsors that don't think twice about sponsoring roller derby.

Here are the rollers installed in the newly repaired roller hooks. I've temporarily put a rag under them to show off one of the other oddities of the Goldin's ink train.
If you look closely it appears the rollers aren't parallel and have slightly more space between them on the right side of the press than the left. This is not an optical illusion. The rollers are approximately 1/16" closer together on the left side.
This strange system was built-in by design at the factory. William Golding shows this design in his last patent (US 1,124,010), granted in 1915, just one year before his death. It was intended to cause the rollers to shift left to right just a bit during printing to act a bit like a distributor roller. This acts in concert with the bottom ink distributing plate to even out ink coverage as much as possible.
I haven't had the chance to test it yet, but it should be interesting.
