Autographed Helmet! One of A Kind! Once in a Lifetime.

Posted by osdaadmin on September 30, 2008 in Roller Derby

Hello~ I have for your consideration a one-of-a-kind item for your collection that also has a very interesting story to go with it. This past May I was blessed to be invited to an annual Roller Derby Reunion in Laughlin, NV that was attended by many legends of the sport. I am the Banked Track Director for the Old School Derby Association, and it is our goal to bring traditional co-ed Roller Derby back to prominence as a professional sport. Knowing this is our goal, and knowing that Banked Tracks cost in the neighborhood of $20,000, these generous ex-skaters were kind enough to autograph this helmet during the event. They know it will be auctioned off to help the Old School Derby Association build a banked track for training on the East Coast, and they support us 100%.

Here is a list of the fabulous skaters (and a few of notable others) from the earliest days of Roller Derby on, the true pioneers and legends of the sport, who were kind enough to autograph our helmet. There are a total of 61 autographs and they are listed here in alphabetical order of last name:

Art

Adame

And the extra picture…yes that’s me on the track owned by current San Francisco Bombers Women’s Captain Lali O…with none other than MIZZ GEORGIA HASE!

So hopefully you 1) Remember the GOLDEN DAYS of Roller Derby with great affection 2) Appreciate the uniqueness of the item being offered for auction 3) Would like to see TRADITIONAL, LEGITIMATE BANKED TRACK ROLLER DERBY make a come-back some day in the near future 4) Want to support dedicated hard-working young amateur skaters who’s ultimate goal is to train to skate professional Roller Derby on a Banked Track.

Thanks for looking at our auction and we appreciate your support…and the support of the legends who have skated before us…

“With Liberty and Derby for ALL!”
