TRD Lego Roller Derby

Tucson Roller Derby. Lego Style! A dedicated fan of the Tucson Roller Derby has spent many hours working out this fantasy robot/lego/world. This is either a wonderful display of affection or deep obsession. I really enjoy the pictures and commentary of the announcers here. There is to much to list on this blog. I highly encourage you to check it out. I just can't quit laughing. This is great. If anyone wants to claim this or knows who did the work email me.

RollerCon 100!

Roller Derby has hit the century mark!

I am not for sure when it happened but it did. Currently there are over 100 all female roller derby leagues in North America. I say North America because we can't forget our Canadian sisters and I have not heard of any over seas.

Wow! I sit in awe of this wonderful Roller Derby moment.

To commemorate this momentous occasion the 2006 RollerCon is putting together a poster called "Rollercon 100". It will be a poster with 100+ derby leagues represented by each individual leagues logo. Check the link below to see if your league is on the list. If not get them to participate!
