We had a great time today out in Schnecksville for the Roller Derby Double Header! The bells and horns were out and the crowd was fired up and the Roller Girls did not disappoint.
Jimmy T helped the halftime belly dancers with their routine
There was pushing, there was shoving, there were NFL quality hits (I saw some serious bruises at the afterparty), there was speed and there was strategy going on… and it was all an awesome time!
The thing about this physical sport is that when it’s all done these fine ladies high five, smile and hug each other. No animosity in this high impact competition full of sportsmanship.

The LV Roller Girl Hissy Fits faced up against the River City’s Poe’s Punisher and the lead changed hands so many times I couldn’t keep track. It came down to the final seconds and River City prevailed by a score separated only by 3 points. A hard fought battle and no one was disappointed at the end.
Talking strategy with the Roller Girls coach Minerva Steel
Jimmy T and I were invited along to the after party at Grumpy’s BBQ Roadhouse in Mechanicsville. (On Mauch Chunk road) There was a full buffett of awesome ribs, pulled pork, brisket, wings.. and great side dishes. There was also a big cake to make note of the retirement of two great roller girls. Rose Beef and Parker Paxa Punch have hung up their skates. Good luck to you both!
I really have to give another mention to the huge hits there were tonight. One of them had Rose Beef come out of the penalty box, rail her competitor so hard she flew into the crowd. Another sent our own Roxy Fox tumbling through a referee and into the wall.
Great times, great people and a good fun time. Thanks to the LV Rollergirls and all involved for including us in their event!
Next one is coming up in September so stay tuned for details.

WOW is all I can say about my 1st Rollergirl experience!! Hard hits, fierce competition and a fired up crowd made for an awesome time last night in Schnecksville. These girsl hit hard and skate with passion and one thing I liked was the sportsmanship showed by one and all after all was said and done. Special shout out to Rose Beef and Parker Paxa Punch, man I love these names, I wished I’d seen you skate before but you put on your best in your last bout. Best of Luck in your retirement. Heck shout out to ALL the Rollergirls..you were GREAT!! I’m def. hooked and will be back!! Thanks for the fun times and look forward to more!!
Looks like Jimmy T. has been living the life of Riley lately — every time I turn around, he’s surrounded by women. XD
