Video Vault: Crash Bandicoot Plays Roller Derby

Trawling YouTube for roller derby videos means you will come across some very odd things. Namely, an old television commercial featuring a guy dressed as Crash Bandicoot playing roller derby:

Rollercon 2007 - Roller Derby on the Streets of Vegas

Since I was personally unable to attend Rollercon this year, I was curious to find out if the roller derby community was uploading videos of their Las Vegas roller derby experiences -- and I was not disappointed!

A DerbyLuv roundup on Tuesday? Yes!

Hey derby luvvers... hey, I know it's not that, Thursday/Friday/Saturday -what am I gonna do this weekend? - where are the derby bouts? - kind of day, but I've been kinda slow updating lately with that kind of thing. My apologies. My dayjob is busy, I've been skating and exercising a lot, and this week I've been kinda down with a wisdom tooth flare up causing me headaches and just owies.... no excuses, I've still been paying attention!

First off, I'll tell you that I have completely changed my diet the last month. I eat meat only twice a week now, 3 times only if it's tuna during the week because I don't eat fish at all except that. I ave to give a shout out to SparkPeople.com I joined that site a long time ago. I have to say following the diet plan hasn't really helped me lose weight, but I'm naturally a big girl but the tools are fantastic for tracking nutrition and exercise, calories burned, goal setting, and I administer a Sparkteam called Roller Dery Queens on there that is doing great. A lot of rollergirls, big and small are working on getting and staying fit. Come on and join, if you like!

I've also given up cable TV. Surprisingly easier to do than I thought it would be, I get less marketing, less celebrity crap in my face, and get to choose what I watch and when by moving to DVD. Love it!

Ok, on to ROLLER DERBY news:
Thursday night you can party with the Toronto Rollergirls

And speaking of the Toronto Rollergirls, Misty also let me know via facebook that the TO girls are featured in this new music video from The Used. I've had trouble (even though I've seen them before) picking them out of the video footage and finding skates, but see if you can find them! It's on YouTube.

The Red Rollers vs the Black-Eyed Betties
Saturday, July 28, 2007

Ok, that's enough for now. I have some stuff cooking, but you know as always that if you play roller derby, love roller derby, ref or volunteer of your local roller derby league, and there's an event to promote or a story you want to see me do, a Rollergirl or guy to interview or a product you want me to try and review, just send me the info at info at derbyluv.com!

Video from MTLRD's Championship Bout - June 16, 2007

Not a cool highlight reel, but a few jams were caught on video from a fan at the bout last night. If you compare to videos of MTLRD from early this year, you can really see how much of an improvement in speed, endurance and skating everyone has had. What a season for these girls! Even the girls that didn't make the all-stars team are playing hard!

Check the MTLRD Roller Contrabanditas and Les Filles du Roi showing off on youtube!

Jam 1 - Beater Pan-Tease is lead jammer - FDR wins jam


Jam 2 - No Lead Jammer - 2 minutes of hell - 'ditas win jam



Jam 3 - L'il Momma gets lead jammer status - FDR wins jam


Jam 4 - last jam of the game - Injun #09 lead jammer - FDR wins

How to Play Roller Derby


I found a nice animation instructional "Roller Derby Explained" youtube video posted by bdogdj today from The Gem City Rollergirls, and this is just awesome. I'm going to post it on the forums for my league as well as here, because I think our Fresh Meat girls and the new recruits will benefit from this.

I know how to play but this is a nice animation for newbies, and I just thought I'd share this one!

Cheeseball instructional Film Number 1



I love these old timey instructional films. But this one is about roller skating, so it's awesome. I often skate around the rink in a slalom or spread eagle position like the stunt skaters in this video are portrayed in the empty pool, but I've never skated at a skate park in a bowl or anything.. I wonder if I could... I lead with my right leg going counte-clockwise directions with straightaways on a flat track just fine, but suck at leading with my left in a clockwise direction...

Anyway, you can check out this one on youtube and see for yourself. And check out those clothes... skates starting at $20... I miss the good old days hahahahaha
