Alright Burning River at it again, this time up in PA battling it out against Steel City Steel Hurtin’. Steel City has been on a warpath and I am hoping that they are glossing over us. It should also be noted that this is the bout that sports blogger Jody Diperna will be attending. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of reading one of the most ignorant hit pieces trying to discredit roller derby, Her article can be found here. All I am going to say for this bout is put everything you got out on that track, give all you got each time your on the track. I wish you all the best in this bout. I will be watching this bout on DNN, and most likely screaming my freaking head off! This is a tough team, but you guys are some of the toughest female athletes, I have ever had the pleasure of calling my friends.
This was a short video created by Chris, who has been moping around all week, bummed that he will not be at the next bout. Any individuals who were fortunate enough to read the Hellbombers discussion page, on their Facebook profile were delighted to see this song below: Mum mum mum mah I wanna hold em’ like they do in Derby plays Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh Can’t read my, S-s-s-stroker face, s-s-stroker face I wanna roll with her a hard pair we will be Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh Can’t read my, S-s-s-stroker face, s-s-stroker face I won’t tell you that I love you Can’t read my, Can’t read my, Can’t read my, S-s-s-stroker face, s-s-stroker face S-s-s-stroker face, s-s-stroker face S-s-s-stroker face, s-s-stroker face By Magic Lee Malicious I knew about the league when it was forming and I wanted to join. At the time, I was dating a guy who thought derby was “weird” and convinced me not to join. I wish I could bump into that guy today and kick him with my skates on. Skip forward a year and a half and life brings me a new job and Pain Austen. She convinced me to join BRRG. In true traditional form, Turn 2 has setup the Hazard Cup Poll just before the first bout. Let the flame wars begin!  Loading ...I hope everyone got all that they had wished for this year! Be safe and enjoy yourselves. Roller Derby changed my life! I know everyone says that and I know it might sound cliche but sometime that’s the best way to describe it. It’s hasn’t just changed my life for the better, it’s changed my life permanently. Before Derby I was cautious, I did what I was told and I was the “nice” girl. I thought of everyone before myself. I didn’t take risks. (unless you count the 4 tattoos!) I was comfortable being average and ordinary. I had graduated from college and had to become an adult with a “real job” and real bills. I found out about roller derby by watching the A&E show about TX and started Googling..I found BRRG and decided to join! My parents were not supportive, my friends thought I was crazy but it was something I WANTED to do! I decided to get my gear and show up! My parents are now very supportive and come to every game! They were just worried I would get hurt…which I have but they realize it’s what I love to do so they “get it” I didn’t know anyone, In fact the 1st person to talk to me was Morbid and she was super sweet and welcoming (weird right!?) I hadn’t skated since middle school and back then I spent most of my time picking up guys in the snack bar and when I was skating I couldn’t stop so I would just skate into the wall! Roller Derby made me push myself. I was a sad little skater and if it wasn’t for the encouragement of Scarrie and Stroker I might have given up. I learned that I can lose a little bit of control and fly around the corners..I learned that I could stop without running into walls! I learned how to play the game and work with a team. I pushed myself even when I felt like I was the slowest person and the worst hitter. I asked questions and was determined to try my best. Derby gave me confidence, and the realization that I am strong..All these years of feeling average and ordinary made me blind to the fact that I could do amazing things if I put in some effort and determination. Derby also gave me the love of my life. I can’t thank the lovely Vix Smackey enough. She introduced me to Fritz. Smackey, Dagney and I were in the car at NEO and she all of a sudden blurted out “I have a guy for you” We met, became inseparable and soon after got married! I didn’t think I would find someone as amazing as him and I never would have if I didn’t join derby! All in all derby has made me realize that going though life without a passion is no way to live. I have something that I love doing and I am starting to get pretty decent at it! I have learned that being strong doesn’t mean just physically but mentally too. I have a team and a league that I respect so much and that supports me. Derby means the world to me. I am so lucky to be a part of this and sometimes I pinch myself and realize I am a Roller Girl! The nice girl can kick your ass…with a smile of course xoxo I have been wanting to upload this picture for quite awhile (actually I have a bunch of pictures that I have been wanting to upload). This is the wonderful view I have all day long. Just look at some of my wonderful items. From my HellBombers Sign (made by Damegerous (the first girl to actually have a conversation with Turn 2)) to my Ruby Red Take-Out box which actually had two fortune cookies in one wrappper! Of course there are a number of items which are not in my cubicle for instance my 8×10 Professor Booty Autographed Picture (no joke) and my blue hand clapper from black & blue 3 which was thrown to me by Ivanna Destroya, even though she knew I was cheering black are in miscellaneous places out in about! Anyway there is my view, hows yours!
