Pioneering the Rebirth of Roller Derby

Elizabeth Weiss

And on those

wheels, many

hours will be

spent circling

the track. This

lone skater

shows no signs

of fatigue…

Roller Derby would definitely be considered a

full contact sport…

If you’re not careful, you just might lose your

mouthpiece

This is “Peril Lust.”

She used to skate for

the Guns N’ Rollers,

but after taking

some time off she is

back on “Fresh

Meat,” here she

wears the star on her

head indicating

she’s the jammer,

who is the point

scorer on the track.

Speed Junkie

“Merch”

Another Guns N’ Rollers skater, “Vixen Mary” sells her teams merchandise at the

bouts. The demands of skating can sometimes be

overwhelming, and this is a good way to stay involved with

your team

After a bout, the girls get all the PBR they can drink, and share a

few laughs with fellow team mates.

Even the “zebra’s,” a nickname given to referees by the skaters, get a chance to kick back and unwind.

Most importantly,

the Derby Girls

get to meet the

ones screaming

from the

bleachers. The

Fans. The ones

who have helped

to support the

resurrection of an

amazing sport,

played by some

hardcore amazing

women.
