I’m fairly sure there’s a league in/around where I’m attending college next year, and I want to try out. My issue: I’m 5’2″ and weight about 100 pounds. I’m tiny as fuck. Will I be snapped in two? Can I even be of use? Is it worth the attempt? (Please tell me I’m not useless; I really do want to “make out with any of the above.”)

There is a place for every body type in derby, which is part of the reason it’s so awesome! If you are fast, you will be an awesome jammer, squeezing through little holes like it’s no problem. I have also seen some badass blocking by ladies who are under 5′, because their center of gravity is so low, they are nearly impossible to knock down.…[Read more]

soooo. Anyone played in/watched any bouts lately? I had my second B-team bout yesterday and we won :D
I also left a banana in my bag and it squished so now my pads smell like sweat and banana. Yummy :|-
Congrats to you/your team! I missed my local teams’ second bout of the season last night. But the first one they crushed the other teams so badly it was almost boring… we won both with more than a hundred point lead each time :/

haha thanks :D
oh yeah I went to a bout like that the other week. It’s just not as fun to watch when there’s such a difference in skill, you know who’s going to win after the first couple of jams :/

hey, i’m also from melbourne! :)
I am jealous of the Melbournites :) it’s my favourite city in Aus, I am moving there when I get back from overseas next January.
ah good choice! where are you off to?
Off to Europe – backpacking and some study in Denmark :) I am really looking forward to life in Melbourne town though, I’ve wanted to live there for aaaages.
that sounds amazing, i might venture off to europe next year! haha i’m just a little biased but melbourne is the only city i’ve been to that i’d really want to live in (apart from san francisco). lots to look forward to!
yay! melbourne <3
Melbournestraddlers! Hooray!
Oh, that sounds awesome! Where are you doing your exchange? Hope you’re having an amazing time :)
I’ve only spent a week in Perth, but I loved it. Sun, sea, funky shops and cafes… if it wasn’t so far away from the rest of the country, I’d move there in a heartbeat.
Hey! I’m from melbourne too. I know it’s been ages but I’m excited about the existence of y’all.
