I Derby To Know I Am More Than The Sum Of My Parts. I have been brought to tears for the first time in my life with how proud I am of myself.

People who come to bouts think all of the “girls” are exhibitionists. That we are all there to show off our tattoos, flash a lot of fish-net covered flesh, and to get into fights. That may be true for many, and that’s fine for them. I derby because it is a hell of a lot of work and I want to know that I CAN derby, and that I AM.

Wet Spot from the Minnesota Rollergirls has started a great Craigslits-style site for derby guy. DERBUY has wheels, plates, skates, hardware, and pads, as well as apparel and art. Seriously great spot to buy or sell skates.

FYI, use caution when buying pre-owned helmets. If you take one hard fall in your helmet, you should technically replace it (ha ha), so while you may be saving money buying a used helmet, you might be spending thousands of dollars in head injuries.

what a good idea.

It’s particularly hard to single out players on Philly as ones to watch; this is one of the most even teams in the sport. Philly sports an incredibly well-rounded jammer lineup — top speed is probably held by the small but mighty Mo Pain and Persephone, while Shenita Stretcher and Teflon Donna are plenty fast and also have the size to absorb potential takeout hits. Violet Temper and Elle Viento can also step in when needed, giving Philly a lot a depth offensively. Philly’s D is equally deep with hard hitters: Nina Knockout, Robin Drugstores, Gloria Grindem, Olivia Face, Ivana Rock and 2009 addition Heavy Flo are all capable of putting an opponent in the air.

The Philly Liberty Belles have some of my favorite derby names, some freakin’ flashy uniforms, and are amongst my favorite teams in the country.
