I wrote my recap of the action up here in Seattle with the Rat City Roller Girls and their guests, the Munecas Muertas travel team from the Duke City Derby. ...
I of course read it. It is a very good write-up as usual Elwood. If I remember correctly the Socket Wenches beat the Muenicas Muertas and the Throttle Rockets...
The Top-City Rollergirls debut Bout tonight occurs at Sk8Away on Fairlawn in Topeka, when the Death Row Divas take on the P'Roll Violators. These ladies have...

In the second game of the Texas bout, the Hotrod Honeys wedged open a tough defensive game to win 62 to 37 over the Hustlers in Austin Sunday night. In the...
If Roller Derby is a contact sport, then the fans in Austin had to be happy with a couple of games Sunday night where jammer takeouts and knockdowns by...
I need Roller Derby as much as it needs me...the risk of injury is not such a high price to pay for the balance that Roller Derby gives me in my life...I need...
I sent him an email also, but I wish that I had sent a letter to the editor so that it would have been republished. Although I wanted to get the point across...
I don't know whether Texas Rollergirls were playing by the proposed WFTDA 2.0 or 2.1, but there are definitely some things I liked by whichever proposal they...
I'm with you on both of these! Rat City started using the no-subs variation for the penalty box last season, and it's soooo much better... in part because it...
Agreed and agreed! We've never played with the subs and we love it that way. (: The thing about turning the pivots into jammers when both jammers are out is...
It was really the first time in over a year I have seen a jammerless jam in Austin. Now this is fairly significant because the Texas Refs are known for...
Phil, I read this post like a week ago and I have been reading what all the girls say...all very true. I need derby. But I was wondering the same thing...
Phil, I think you'll appreciate the historical angle in this recent write-up in HCN: http://www.hcnonline.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=18151340&brd=1574&pag=461\ ...
Here are few responses to that article courtesy of the FWDG's... and I called him (voice mail) after sending my e-mail, so he would know the invitation was...
Yes I loved the article. I feel very much the same way about Roller Derby in the '60s. My hero was Shirly Hardman, who I actually saw a picture on the...
Rollerderby is such an amazing thing to be a part of. Especially since it is for the skaters by the skaters. It is wonderful to be a part of something that...
Thanks to all of you who responded to the question "why do you skaters skate." The reason I love the answers is because there is no one answer. The answers...
Maybe I should keep my mouth shut, but i'm also a very open person- even when I shouldn't, about my personal life and my past. I'm pretty young, 23, one of...
I think you answered the question quite precisely, and I don't think you're alone in this community! You already know I'm glad you're here :) ~ hurt ...
Come on Donald! What kind of sneaky teams would have to combine up to play a traveling regular league team from Texas? And I'll guarantee you immediately...
well, since you asked, Phil.....(if this is long-winded, I sincerely apologize.) My first time @ a bout was about a year ago, when I went to see the Holy...
Baby Fighterfly of the Providence derby told me they were joining up with Boston to create NERD sometime back in, I believe, late November or early December. I...
NERD played (maybe debuted?) at the East Coast Derby Extravaganza, in a 30-minute challenge bout vs. Team Awesome (a more eclectic gathering of skaters). This...
And all the refs cried in their porridge because there was no overtime jam. Wah wah wah. But I did have a bunch of refs tell me they either wanted to ref...
Pity more of the original Team Awesome didn't show ... that would have been really awesome, but it was a fun bout to watch! ... -- voodoo / carolina...
Yeah, weather prevented Sheriff Shutyerpaio, She Who Cannot Be Named, Crackerjack, and a couple others from being there. One would imagine they would've had...
First here is a link to the 3 letters they posted: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/letters/ Here is his response, no ladies he did not...
This should warm the heart of a certain group moderator -- the WFTDA 2.1 ruleset is ratified and public now. I've posted a copy of it to the Files section. ...
