Rose City’s junior All-Stars won the Northwest Junior Derby Championships last weekend, and remain undefeated for the season. Congratulations, ladies, you deserve it! They even pulled out a pegassist in the championship game. NW Junior Derby actually has a season – a regular schedule with standings based on wins and losses after every team has [...]
Pegassist Primer

The Wheels of Justice may have lost their game against Gotham this weekend, but they won the internet popularity contest for unveiling a move we’re referring to as the pegassist. Observe. The idea here is to use a backwards whip to get your jammer around a back wall. The blocker positions herself on the track boundary [...]

And they’re baaack! Since Rose City passed a new Returning Skater Policy, three people have returned to home team rosters: Napalm Beth and Sully Skullkicker joined the High Rollers after being travel team only last year, and Megahurtz came back to the Break Neck Betties after a couple of years of civilian life. You could say [...]

Exclamation points, everyone! If I ever finish packing, I’ll be off to bed, then the airport, flying to Denver, grabbing Unicoroner on my way out the door, and then the WFTDA Championships! You guys! How exciting is this? It’s like roller derby Christmas! Look here and follow my tweets @littleanecdote to get the dirt as it comes. [...]

If I can’t get past Scrappy, apparently I’ll just PUNCH HER IN THE FACE. (I did get through eventually, sans punching.) Wrote a new blog this afternoon for the Rose City Rollers blog. Denver! Excitement! Speaking of which – enter my contest by 5pm today, peeps!

The winner gets their choice of a button, patch or bandana from Championships. (Sorry, I’d love to get you a fanny pack, [...]

Posted in Derby, My super fun activities, tagged Blazers, Rose City Rollers, tournaments, wftda, WOJ on October 31, 2011 | 2 Comments »
My most-read sports blog is actually Blazer’s Edge. Yes, I play derby, but I’ve been a Blazers fan since the 2000 playoffs (which will never be spoken of again on this blog or in my presence). I wear my Blazers wristband over my wrist guards during the NBA playoffs. Boys have been compelled to say, “Wow, [...]

(Not as in drunk. That was last weekend.) (As an aside, this girl is not drinking whiskey again until the Sunday of Championships.) (WFTDA Championships, duh.) (Beer is also being curtailed.) It’s become clear to me recently that I have to step up my game physically if I want to progress quickly in roller derby. Yeah, [...]
