Welcome to the inaugural Frisky Power Rankings, where I rank women’s flat track roller derby according to my whims/in-depth knowledge. Gotham. Shut up, Gotham, we already know. Rose City Wheels of Justice. The teenagers are looking really good. (That came out wrong.) Rose City Break Neck Betties, but only when I bench coach them by [...]

Interview with Bashonista from Left Turn Clothing
Posted in Derby, tagged Betties, Derby business, derby girls, High Rollers, Holiday, Rose City Rollers, scrimmage, shenanigans, WOJ on November 30, 2012 | 5 Comments »
Bashonista owns Left Turn Clothing, the company that you asked about on the internet after you saw how how stretchy the Wheels of Justice’s jerseys were. She also skates for the High Rollers, a Rose City home team. This week she took some time out of making new uniforms for the Break Neck Betties (there are [...]
What do you think about the new rules?
Posted in Derby, tagged Betties, GNR, Rose City Rollers, rules, wftda on November 29, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I stood and watched maybe 15-20 minutes of the Break Neck Betties vs. GNR scrimmage last night under the new rule set. My first impressions? Messing around with that jammer whistle just seems silly now. One whistle gets you into the action. No dilly-dallying. Into it. Packs went at a decent flat track speed except [...]
Strategy: Roller derby makes terrible sausage.

As a vegetarian, I don’t really like sausage with my breakfast (ha ha, joke), but the internet seems to be googling the hell out of this “strategy.” Bummer. They must be googling it because they’ve either seen it, or want to know more. DON’T DO IT. IT’S BORING AND LAME. But your opponent is probably [...]
Happy Draft Day!
Posted in Derby, tagged Betties, Fresh Meat, Roller derby, Rose City Rollers on September 6, 2012 |
Happy draft day, Rose City! Tonight there will be one or two or three new Break Neck Betties, and I couldn’t be happier! I hope it’s those of you who were really nice to me when I was coaching Fresh Meat. (Kidding.) (Kind of.) I never skated with the Betties once before being drafted to [...]

Me, Dee Dee, and Pow with our last Betties war cries before retirement. How does Dee Dee even make screaming cute? * *
Things I would have done differently
Posted in Derby, tagged beers, Betties, derby girls, gear, Roller derby, roller girls, shenanigans on August 30, 2012 |
Okay, if you want to get down to it, there are a thousand things that I would’ve done differently if I’d known better or had more clarity/didn’t have my helmet up my hot pants. But for the most part, they boil down to these two things. Given the chance to do my roller derby career [...]
Hanging at the hangar
Posted in Derby, tagged Acid, Betties, Oaks Park, roller derby is glamorous, summer, Video on August 14, 2012 |
Yesterday I watched this video of Acid talking about how she started roller derby and got onto Team USA. Which is great – really – but um, I already knew all that stuff since I was on Fresh Meat when she got drafted and we’re on the same team and everything. It was fun to [...]
The dreaded “Sausage”
Posted in Derby, tagged Betties, flat track, Portland, Roller derby, Sausage, Strategy, sweatiness, wftda on August 8, 2012 | 8 Comments »
EDIT: Hey guys, since this wasn’t super informative about sausaging, I went into more detail in another post. NO SERIOUSLY that post is much better and you should read it. ** Last weekend, my team beat a banked track team ON the flat track, 250-89. We talked about that already, in case you want to see more [...]
Break Neck Betties 250, Tilted Thunder All Stars 89

Hey, we won! We avenged the loss on the banked track on Leet’s birthday! I spent five minutes in the penalty box (which is really really weird for me)! And it was fun! My parents came to the hangar for the first time to watch, and at halftime, they pointed out how much time I’d [...]
