At the ECE back in June... I know this post is incredibly late. I've been dealing with storage problems that I finally got worked out. This was a challenge bout from the Philly tournament. These bouts were exhibition games between teams made up of Rollergirls from various teams. See the whole shoot...

The Lambs won handily over the Harrisburg B team. Check out the Fallout Femmes' bright green radioactive pants!

The Sheep came back home less than a week after facing Texas and handled the new WFTDA member Harrisburg Area Roller Derby Nuclear Knockouts. This bout was never really in question at all... See the whole shoot...

CRG Gets the Licks in Against one of the Best

In RollerDerby circles the Texas Rollergirls could be akin to the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, except the Texecutioners are currently as good as it gets in Women's Flat Track. The opportunity for the CRG team to skate against this fantastic RollerDerby program was huge, and the Sheep made their presence known and got some hits in even though they lost by a pretty big margin. They left the track with respect though and for this still new CRG League it bodes well for the future. See the whole shoot...

Jason and i spent the weekend of June 21 and 22 on the road at the East Coast Extravaganza Rollerderby event. I don't know whether to call it a tournament, or a convention, or what, but this was a whole lotta Derby packed and jammed into two days. This was a serious weekend of Derby. This day the Black Sheep came into the bout as underdogs and won handily 110-73. See the whole shoot...

Lambs lose to NorthStar

Tough night for the Lambs squad. They lost, but, as you can tell, managed to keep their spirits up. The Developmental squad fought hard but lost out to a superior opponent. They'll have their day in the sun again...See the whole North Star shoot here...

Booty Blocking the 'Burgh

Ah, it just rolls of the tongue... "Pittsburgh lost." I love it. I can't say it enough. "Pittsburgh lost... hahaha..." OK that sort of disdain is usually reserved for the Steelers, and this night's "Welcome to Our Jungle" theme set the stage for a good old fashioned Cincy-Burgh brawl that ended with the Black Sheep soundly defeating the RG team from Steel City. As most RollerDerby bouts go, while the play is fierce, the rivalry is left on the track. Pittsburgh had a nice team that's about a half-step behind us in their development and they certainly have a bright future. That bodes well for future rivalries. Someday the match will be like a Bengals-Steelers game... Except hopefully then Cincinnati will win!See the whole 'Burgh shoot here...
