Season’s Beatings: Red Rockettes Season Ender 12.12
With 15 minutes left, Black Frost was still in command of the scoreboard. Black Frost’s blockers did a fantastic job, containing Candy Pain jammer Duchess of Destruction, nearly knocking her into the crowd. Lucky Vixen, a Black Frost jammer, was able to score 10 points as her blockers were doing double duty, aiding her through the pack and restraining Duchess. This jam was very action filled, and it continued on as Duchess was hit out of play. She came back in, cutting the track, only to be knocked down again straight onto her ass. … read more

March Mayhem: Uinta Madness vs Capital City Skull Crushers and...
Men’s derby is not like your average roller derby. It’s filled with testosterone, power and, well, big hairy dudes. The jams are rougher, the hits are harder, and for me personally, the eye candy is better. When roller derby made its resurgence years ago, it was an all-female dominating sport. For the most part, it still is. But let’s be honest—we ladies couldn’t keep all the fun to ourselves. … read more
Salt City Derby Girls Season Opener: Wrist Guards vs Razor...
When most people think of derby, many think of the old school ‘70s era of roller derby, where there was no true scoring system, they just skated round and round the track, and pulled off some groovy vintage skating tricks. Compared to derby today, especially banked track roller derby, it’s a night and day difference. … read more
JCRD Military Appreciation Double Header 07.09
The rough, almost hour-long drive to Ogden, which is currently riddled with construction, isn’t the greatest trip to make, especially in the blazing heat we get during the summer here in Utah (add in the nonexistent A/C in my car and you have a recipe for disaster). But the ladies of Junction City Roller Dolls promised a night of double header derby action, which made the trip much more bearable. … read more

HVDD: Rollin Rebellion vs Daughters of Anarchy 04.11
The last time I crossed the Salt Lake County line into Utah County—way, way down south—the ladies of the Happy Valley Derby Darlins were still operating and playing out of an old Food4Less Building. They had turned some very large number of square feet of an abandoned grocery store into their new HQ, the Shove Shack. … read more

The brave souls who ventured out last Saturday and faced the crazy-weird monsoon-type weather we’ve been experiencing lately were privileged to the quad driven, counter-clockwise action of Wasatch Derby League. … read more
