Richmond Derby Demons Final score for Dead Man’s Jam.. RDD:80 CRD:64 We LOVE you PIRATES! We’d like to say thank you to everyone for your help & support. We couldn’t ask for a better home game. We ? duh BOOTAY!
MIX UP MAYHEM HITS MT. LAUREL
The Derby Dozen hosted The Star Spangled Jammers in Mt. Laurel at the International Sports Complex in a very close game that was almost determined in the final jam of the game.
The Star Spangled Jammers won this contest by one point with a final score of 41-40. In the last jam of the game, down 40-34, the Derby Dozen’s co-captain, Wags, scored 6 points which would have tied up the score, but The Star Spangled Jammers’ Maschine scored one point to secure the win for his team.
The game MVP had to be Wags who either skated pivot or jammer in nine out of 10 jams. He was game high scorer with 22 points and virtually a one man show.
The winning Star Spangled Jammers had 6 skaters put up points with high scorer Classy Chassis with 10 points, co-captains Bill Stickley & Lucky Luciano with 7 points each and rookie Honeybee also scoring 7 points. Maschine scored 6 points and Roxanne Mudd scored 4 points.
In addition to Wags’ big 22 points, also scoring for the Derby Dozen were rookie Beater Griffin with 9 points, co-captain Deuces Wild with 6 points, rookie Angry Topaz with 2 points and rookie Kelly Kapowski with 1 point.
Hexadecimate, on loan from South Jersey Derby, was very strong on defense and had a great sense of humor when an opposing skater got her skate caught in her top and nearly pulled it off. She laughed, brushed it off and kept on going.
In the 2nd period, The Derby Dozen’s co-captain, Deuces Wild, leveled Bill Haas with a powerful block leaving Haas laid out on the floor. Deuces was promoted to co-captain status this year and has been a force to be reckoned with.
On another high note, the rookies showed a lot of hustle out there. Kapowski, Angry Topaz, Beater Griffin, Wiggy Smalls, and Honeybee gave it their all with impressive jamming performances.
The next game in Mt. Laurel will be June 12th at 8pm. It will be a rookie game called Rookie Rampage and will feature the Lil’ Devils vs. the Juvenile Delinquents. Go to WWW.PENNJERSEYROLLERDERBY.COM for more information.

Some great recent press about Dead Girl Derby!

There’s no school like the old school
With the grass roots explosion of roller derby occurring over the past decade many fans are familiar with the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). However, they are not the only derby league on the block. For those die hard derby fans out there you need to check out the Old School Derby Association (OSDA).
According to the OSDA website their mission is to, “restore ties with “Old School” skaters, trainers and coaches from past decades and learn from their experiences and input.” By combining current developments in flat track derby with the old school banked track derby from the 70′s, OSDA hopes to create an exciting game for both the players and the fans. Their website also states, “We believe that it is possible to entertain and inspire a crowd with an aggressive, hard-skated Old School game. OSDA believes that the draw was, is and should continue to be The Game. Pure & simple. No gimmicks – just the incredible skill of the skaters.”
In July of 2009 a new league was formed under the OSDA guidelines. Skating out of Liberty, the Dead Girl Derby KC league is Missouri’s first OSDA league. Founded by Sabra Bunger aka Stormy Trooper and Joei North aka KiKi Yoasis, this league was designed to provide a recreational alternative to the sport in the Kansas City area. They received their OSDA affiliation in early 2010 and have been rapidly growing ever since.
Growing a league is not something that can be done on its own. Dead Girl Derby KC has several opportunities to support the league. If you are interested in becoming a referee, scorekeeper, crew member or a player contact the ladies that run Dead Girl Derby KC by emailing (Aktiviere JavaScript, um die Email-Adresse zu sehen). Their next game will be held this coming Sunday May 23, 2010 at the Rolladium in Liberty.
Stay tuned for more to come on these ladies and the Dead Girl Derby KC league.

Gone, but not forgotten.
Mobile Roller Derby lost a dear friend, and amazing athlete on April 6, 2010. Robin Martin, aka Southern Belle From Hell, died suddenly in her home six weeks after the birth of her third child, Kyd Martin, a mere month before her 31st birthday. Her husband Chris, an Army veteran who served in Iraq, is left alone caring for Kyd, his brother Zephyn aged two, and their big sister Maddy, aged seven, who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Both extended families live in other states. Caring for three children after the death of a spouse is a challenge to begin with, but Maddy requires constant nursing care, and annual surgeries, so Chris can not even sleep in his own bed until he has set up a monitoring system to make sure she can breathe during the night. Finding private care nurses is continously a challenge, even when in possession of a means to pay them, so Chris may not to be able to go back to work at all.
There are over 19,000 Rollergirls in the United States alone! If every one of them gave just ONE dollar, A Buck For Belle, the derby family far and wide could make a tremendous difference in the lives of this family. Having known her personally, we can tell you she was an even more amazing mother and wife than rollergirl, and she was pretty fierce out on the track. Please help us take care of Belle’s babies.
Rest in Peace, Rollergirl. Never forgotten.
