Season 4 Bout 4

I have joy and sadness thinking about this bout; joy for derby greatness, athletes putting everything on the line for the hazard cup, sadness for the fact that the season is coming to an end. I love this sport with every fiber in my being, I get so excited on derby day, I can only imagine how anxious you all would get as well. This bout has the makings to be some of best derby that BRRG can provide. With the Steamers and Pinups in prime positions to take on the Bombers for the Hazard cup, expect this one to be the bout to show case the best in these two teams on the track. When the Knockers and the Bombers collide, fireworks are soon to follow. The Bombers bring the best out of the Knockers, and on the opposite foot the Knockers always seem to make the Bombers timid on the track. To top that off you bring out the wild and hysterical mastermind of juggling Aaron “El Bonko” Bonk! I am freaking pumped!

Steamers vs Pinups

This is monumental, two teams in prime position to battle the Bombers for the Hazard Cup, last time they faced off the Pinups had the rug pulled out from under them by the Steamers. Will history repeat itself? The Steamers have manage to snag Buddhalicious however, the Pinups have obtained the former Cleveland Steamer Take-Out! Man things just made this bout epic! Also, the Pinups will have Eva Lucien on the track, this is a huge boost to the Pinups lineup! The Pinups received some harsh criticism from me before last bout, and showed me exactly how they planned to deal with it. They came out the gate swinging, and never let their guard down! They may not have won that bout, but no one in the past two seasons have came that close to beating the Hellbombers. The Pinups have the best two tail blockers in the league Boots and Soulie, I feel bad for anyone jamming against them when they are tail. Also, to be noted, Vix Smackey has become a regular at the CrossFit Box I attend, she is becoming tough as nails! The Steamers on the other hand, can go from ice cold to extremely hot in seconds, when they get wind in their sails it is hard to slow them down. Killy, and Cupquake, have been insane on the track, if one is off, the other one is on the ball! Halo has been the human wrecking machine this year. The Steamers need to keep themselves out of the penalty box this bout. Leaving Punk’d Pixie on the track to jam alone is a catastrophe waiting to happen. There is so much that can happen in this bout, I am just happy to be right in front for all the action!

Bombers vs. Knockers

OK now I know what people may be thinking this is just going to be a brutal beat-down by the Bombers, I am not sure if I see it going that way. The Knockers got nothing to lose in this bout, they will be laying it all on the track for this bout. Correct me if I am wrong but Skank Williams (who still owes me her interview) will not be skating for this bout? Will the Knockers try to win one for the Kipper (what the hell does that even mean)? Are the Bombers too focused on the finals? Have they overlooked the Knockers? Can the Knockers still frazzle the Bombers? Will the Bombers rest heavy hitters like Ego and Stroker? Will they focus on priming their rookies? Will Eggers preggers get in the way of her skating (it is mine BTW)? Do I feel like Carrie Bradshaw writing everything as a question (yes, I watch a shit-ton of Sex in the City)? There is only one way to know, and that is to be there screaming your head off like me! I have taken a lot of crap for loving the Bombers, people say I am just a front runner, or I just like them because they always win. But this is surely not the truth, anytime I ahve a party at the house, always more Bombers than other team (though the Pinups have been making a strong showing). Magic, our first derby escort, Chelle puts or chairs out for us, Olive, the only girl to have attended my martial arts class (why you all so scared), Stroker got me seriously working my strength and cardio, CoCo, the Dottie Hinson of Roller Derby, Amstel and the Thermador (Holy Shit do I get wasted), Slaughter, my baby momma (and now Destroya), I can go on and on. Don’t get it twisted though, I love everyone, for many reasons, too many to even count. I have did a complete 180 with Finnish-Her, now I love her very much! Monster has always been one of my favorites, and the second person to do an interview on sk8intheface (Taghurt was first). Pretty Scarrie has basically re-invented herself, which is insanely empowering. The Knockers are some fighters, and I love fighters!

Best of luck to all teams, may all the hours you and your teams have put in, result in a victory. Have fun, be safe and kick some ass!
