Roller Derby Changed My Life
For many, roller derby is more than a sport. It’s a place to make friends who you’ll one day consider family, and a challenge to do things you’d never think you’d be able to do.
Rounds 1 and 2 of the Statewide Stampede
What an amazing experience this weekend was! Zombettie and Zoom were joined on track by Mulisha in her debut bout on the Sunday, playing against North East Roller Derby in what we reckon was the nail biting, heart stopping game of the weekend!
Congrats Mulisha
Mulisha (Bree Roden) Has been skating for a few years now, and many of you may have seen her around the derby world, most recently kicking some butt in the For the Love of Skate scrimmage last weekend with Dirty Deb!
