I have so much to say about this amazing game, but for now I’ll just leave it at this:

Final jam. Robot Unicorn Attack is jamming, but she’s starting in the penalty box with a few seconds left. I’m pivoting. We successfully stall the pack off the line. She comes flying out of the box, passes me the jammer panty, I throw it on my head, and take off to score 15 points.

STAR PASS. It happened. For realz. My derby life is now complete.

So so amazing to watch. It was a beautiful star pass. I think our bench was as excited to see it as Boston’s!

Aggression on Wheels, With Bruises as Badges:

AS a child of the 1970s, I spent a number of birthday parties in striped tube socks and bright white roller skates, whizzing around a place called Skate Country in New Orleans. I loved the freedom of doing figure eights to Olivia Newton John or couples skating to the Bee Gees. But when I entered the Hunter College gym this spring for the Gotham Girls Roller Derby home season opener, I instantly knew it was going to be so much better than Skate Country.
