What derby did you watch this weekend? What are you seeing out there? Anything new? I didn’t plan my weekend around derby, so I only got to watch most of the second half of the Rose City home game (Guns N Rollers vs. High Rollers) and a little bit of Victoria at the Big O. What [...]

Returning to roller derby after a broken leg

A couple of weeks ago, when I asked you what you’d like to read about, one commenter had a sad story to tell: I just broke my ankle last weekend. Freak skating accident, essentially my wheels were too grippy for the floor. Wheels gripped and ankle snapped while on a duck run. Once I build [...]
Wild West Showdown! 2013

Let’s chat WWS! This year, a lot of skaters got their derby skinz in a bunch after it was announced that there wouldn’t be any challenge bouts, as the challenge hall was not available or too expensive. This is a sincere bummer. Some great roller derby moments were played out in that challenge hall. I [...]
New WFTDA Divisions and Rankings Calculator

It’s here, guys! As promised “after championships” (technically true, but geez), the WFTDA released details on how rankings are going to work next year. They released a lot of information. It’s a lot to digest. So, let’s skim and chat and avoid doing math as long as possible. Unless you’re into math. In that case, [...]
Moments particular to roller derby trips
Posted in Derby, tagged derby girls, roller derby is glamorous, roller girls, tournaments, travel on November 13, 2012 | 2 Comments »
When the hotel front desk asks you the last name of the person the room is under – and you have to ask them to wait so you can look it up on Facebook. When you have a 10-second interaction with your derby crush and go all aflutter over something like letting them go ahead [...]
Gotham wins the Hydra (again)!

Yep, Gotham wins again. You are welcome for that, ladies! I’m apparently a good luck charm for them, because I’ve been to Championals three times (2008, 2011 and 2012) and Gotham has won each time. I can’t foresee going to Milwaukee next year, so, sorry Gotham. Looks like your run might be over after this [...]
Sunday mornings on tournament weekends

Good morning, world. I’m sitting here in my bed in the hotel room in Atlanta, while my roommates went to eat at Waffle House. You see what I give up for you? Waffle House! Okay, admittedly, I’ve heard it’s awful and I never ate at the one in Bloomington when I lived there. But still! [...]
Atlanta!

Yo guys! I’m here! Gotham is playing Naptown at this very moment, or about to beat them, so I decided to take a little break, get a salad from a mall, get escorted to the liquor store by a local gentleman and a security guard on a Segway, and do some blogging. What’s up with [...]

Hi everyone! I posted a WFTDA Championships preview over on the Rose City Rollers site. Basically, I think it’s gonna be fun and that Gotham is going to win. No surprises there. Tomorrow I have another gift certificate from Wicked Skatewear to give away. $10 could cover most of this shirt! Or some other stuff. [...]
