Hard Hitting and Easy Riding
Oklahoma City, OK, February 17, 2008 – With helmets fastened and mouth guards secure, Tornado Alley Roller Girls (TARG) earned their skate legs this past weekend at the OKC Farmer’s Market. To a crowd packed with returning fans and first timers, OKC’s hometown rollergirls skated up a storm. But these hard-hitting gals don’t have time to wait for the dust to settle before they lace their skates back up again.
The Valkyrie Vixens struggled for a victory over Cell Block 9 on Sunday with a final score of 93 to 72. The two teams will face-off again during exhibition bouts this weekend at the Eleventh Annual Oklahoma Motorcycle Show. The bouts will be held on Saturday February, 23 at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm at the State Fair Park in the Modern Living Building.
This weekend will be another great opportunity for new fans to embrace the fast paced sport of roller derby. “I’ve seen derby on TV but seeing the real thing is pretty impressive. My brother and I have made plans to go to the skating rink and practice. There are some really athletic girls skating out there and I would love to be able to skate like them,” says Courtney Bales after seeing TARG in action for the first time on Sunday.
The Oklahoma City Motorcycle Show is held at The State Fair Park, in Oklahoma City. The park is located at 500 Land Rush Drive, near the intersection of 10th Street and I-44, in downtown Oklahoma City. The Show is held indoors in a heated and air conditioned building. There is a snack bar with beer sales in the building. General admission is $10.00 per person for a single day pass, and $15.00 per person for a two day pass. The event is open to the public from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturday, and from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Sunday. The event is held regardless of weather. For a schedule of events please visit www.jwswapmeet.com

***********************************************************
Tornado Alley Rollergirls (TARG) was formed in April of 2006 under the direction of 8innovative Oklahoma women. The first bout, christened the Derbytaunt Brawl, was held in January of 2007, where an audience of over 1400 curious and enthusiastic fans was introduced to the stimulating sport of women’s flat track roller derby. Momentum has propelled TARG into a second season with heightened excitement and a growing number of bloodthirsty fans. With 300 leagues worldwide, roller derby is making a tremendous comeback. TARG is thrilled to represent Oklahoma City in the global resurgence of this time-honored sport.

Roller Derby Geek Syndrome
Trash 'N Smash, a teammate of mine (and co-captain) and Georgia (my team captain) and I have been having a conversation lately, because unlike these two rollergirl extraordinaires, I am not an all-star player yet. So I said, hey, so how is it you guys are popping out with new moves in practices that we haven't practiced together? Where are you practicing outside of our league and team practice time? Roller Rink free skates, or what?
And the response from Trash 'N Smash was cute, she helped me out alot with some advice, but then said, since I suffer, like her and Georgia, from the Roller Derby Geek Syndrome, I can always get back to reading and watching roller derby training info, and try what I read about, and "play" with my body to teach it how to do new things.
She's right, I was in a rut. I didn't take a break in our off season and I skated every week outside to train endurance and speed. I have improved my endurance, but I was in a rut of doing the same practice days/times, same drills, same way with the same people so much, that only a kick in the ass from my team captains got me to wake up and see that there is still more derby to learn... I think seasoned roller girls can still learn new stuff from everywhere, so my focus is going to change a bit.
To start off, I'm going to be checking out how the TXRD ladies do it by watching their WebCasted bout this Saturday. I heard about it from Eric who does their blog, and the information is on the TXRD blog. It'll put you back $10 as a pay per view event, but come on, live webcasts of the TXRD? I am going to be doing that, I think.
Roller Derby Geek Syndrome sufferers are often researching roller derby online when they aren't skating, right?
So if you've been playing a while and realize that the leaps and bounds of new moves you learned in your first season have slowed and you're just going through the motions, make sure you realize that you can still do more, keep trying new things!

will be accepting donations...
my power adapter for my macbook recently broke, and a new one costs 80 #$%@&* dollars! therefore, if you have one to discard, please send it to me.
i recently just went to new york to skate with thegotham girls! they are great gals, and run an excellent practice. i am also very jealous of their sport court floor, and warehouse.
i would LOVE to have warehouse space. if only all leagues could have such accessibility to a great practice space all the time. my league practices outside of montreal at a roller skating rink. the space is great! although the rink is often coated in dirt, lame teenagers work at the rink, our practice times are limited, and they don't really want us there.
sometimes you just want to feel wanted. y'know what i'm sayin?
once you find a place though, i assume that it could be stressful. your leagues monthly expenditures would increase greatly, hydro fees are always a bitch (in canada anyway..). and security issues could also be problematic.
so in the end, is a warehouse worth it?
i think so. the only thought that continues to pop back into my head is, access to skating indoors, ALL OF THE TIME.
you southern ladies have it good. today in montreal it went down to about 6 degrees (i've seen MUCH worse!), and i froze my lil toe stoppers off. anyone who can skate outdoors all year round, has it made!
don't worry about me though..because next week i will be in san diego for the B&T training camp! hell yeah!
anyway, i'm rambling and need to go to bed.

Roller Derby Bootcamp
The other weekend, the London Roller Girls, who are the largest most established league in the UK ran a "boot camp" to bring the leagues of the UK together and to help out the smaller leagues get a better understanding of exactly how to train, what you need and how to get your league up and rolling.The venue used was the same sports centre that the LRG have put on their bouts at, with another coming in March. Which is a well maintained sports hall and reasonably easy to get too route wise. London is about 2 hours and thirty minutes from Birmingham so we had to make sure we set off plenty early to get down there in time and to allow for the dreaded M25 motorway, a winding concrete nemesis for the day tripper.
The Bootcamp had been split into ref sessions and skater sessions, so myself and Barry Fight went off to the officiating department, the 9 Central City girls who had made the journey kitted up and warmed up on the track. It was nice to see pretty much all the leagues of the UK represented (about 7 - hey c'mon, give us time!!) and the track was a blur of logo's and shirts from the various tribes of the United Kingdom and Scotland.
One of the problems facing ref's in the UK is that most of time 1 the one guy ref'ing for a league is the ONLY guy, this makes it hard to get practical experience where you can concentrate on one aspect of derby, instead you have to run around covering all bases, this was true for me of my old league and is the same for one of the guys I met Ref "Rolling Stoner"
of the Windsor Roller Girls, it's difficult to keep track of everything going on during a scrimmage so I'm very glad to be in a league now where there are other ref's to share the responsibilities.
Ref's went off to "ref camp" where we sat round and discussed various situations and how a referee crew would handle them before the afternoon session which was going to be centred around "practical" experience of ref'ing the pick up scrimmages which would be taking place after all the girls had finished their training session in the main hall.
The girls meanwhile, were doing blocking drills and discussing various tactics and techniques amongst themselves and the chance to train with girls from other leagues meant new blocking partners and new tips and tricks could be
picked up and shared in an information exchange, benefiting all involved. After a lunch break and another warm up, the girls donned black or white shirts for pick up scrimmages and all levels were encouraged to get involved with "noob" scrimmages as well as the more experienced girls hitting the track. The new girls seemed to love the chance of getting involved in scrimmages against skaters of similar ability and you cant help but feel like a proud parent sending
your kids off to school when you wave goodbye to a new girl as she rolls into battle for the first time!
Then the more experienced girls took turns and the ref's alternated positions to keep it fresh as well...I made the mistake of having a crack at outside track ref and found it hard to keep up! One to go back to when my speed and cornering are improved me thinks....
The whole idea was a superbly executed one and of great benefit to all the leagues, it allowed face to face meetings for people that before have only chatted on msypace or facebook and the practical benefits are of course obvious. Hopefully this will be the first of many national get togethers in the future...

Ok, what's up with THAT?
A local weekly mag The Montreal Mirror, is a huge promoter of shows and events in Montreal. I love the MIrror, I read it every week, and it's a great place to see upcoming concerts and to hear about artsy shows and city goings-ons. They promoted my team last year and I thought they were awesome for being into roller derby!
This week, a reporter named Chris Barry did a PEOPLE profile of Ashley Thudd, the co-captain of La Racaille, a team for MTLRD.
The questions were all cool, and then he asked Ashley Thudd how hard it was to secure a spot on the in the league. She told him it was pretty easy for her, (she is an awesome skater), but that it does have some basic requirements. His next question made me gasp in shock.
I apologize if you are offended by reading this, but you won't understand the level of my outrage without the question.
He said: "Is one of them [meaning the requirements] superior cunnilingus skills?"
I wrote him this calm and un-offensive response.
But inside, I have to say I am completely outraged at the level of crudeness and disrespectfulness displayed. The Mirror may be a free mag and it's focused on the music, arts, alternative, and club scenes; there is plenty of LBGT subject matter, but this was just crossing some invisible line with me. Am I being prudish? Homophobic? I don't think so.
Let them think I'm gay, it'll keep lame guys from hitting on me, but let's leave the smut out of it, okay? Maybe it's the southern belle in me, or I'm vibing some Aretha Franklin, but all I am asking for is a little respect.

Hi Chris!
Thanks for including Ashley Thudd in the Mirror this week, she is an awesome roller derby player. It's great to see someone paying attention to the rollergirls of Montreal!
Personally though, why were you asking if a requirement to play is "superior cunnilingus skills"? What does personal sexuality have to do with playing roller derby?
Your interview was of a woman who happens to be an accomplished business woman, dancer, and athlete. Ashley Thudd is plenty awesome and interesting all by herself, and I don't know what sexuality she is.
With that question you just trivialized all the blood, sweat and tears rollergirls are putting into their leagues across the country. Roller derby leagues are skater owned, skater operated, and the talents of the rollergirls are what keeps the organizations running. It has nothing to do with their personal sexuality
There are some great skaters and great atheletes playing roller derby, and rollergirls come in all shapes, sizes, religions, colors, careers and flavors. The one thing they have in common is that they are all awesome, mentally and physically stong women that enjoy playing roller derby.
I hope you re-think this question in the future.
Thank you,
