2025 Season:
I had my first real bout last weekend against ROCK. The floor was terrible, like they waxed it the night before and warm ups made me nervous because I could not skate. I felt I did ok, not great-there was the wrist guard incident. However in the days after the bout some things happened. I…
We’ve had a lot of changes in the past year at BBRG, and one of the most important is our move to the Bank of Kentucky Center on Northern Kentucky University’s campus. Everything we’ve done as a league over the past year has been leading up to May 19th, when we finally make our season…
Derby season has started. We have had practice and even a tournament. During all of this I had had to come to a reality. I think every girl in derby thinks they are great or at least good, I know I do. I think I have decent skills and can really contribute to the team…
So I had a finger injury…as you may have read about before. If not here is the short story – one night at practice I broke my finger, not a big deal you say, but I needed surgery and I missed three bouts for a stupid finger. Now you are caught up. Take two. I…
As I mentioned in the last blog, it was end of season time at Black n Bluegrass. We start in January and begin practicing, take our yearly evaluations at the beginning of February and play our first bouts in April. We play bouts till October and then have our end of season party at the…
The season rolled on. I got to play in our June bout as well, against the Cornfed Derby Dames, a brand new team. Our team included almost all of our FNGs, and I’m happy to say we won. That night, we didn’t have an A team to play against in the second game, so we…
I had made the roster for a home game! I was giddy, ecstatic, posting all over facebook, and generally being an annoying pain in the butt about it. But I couldn’t help myself. I had talked to some of the other new girls who had already played in a bout, and they had mentioned how…
Here I was, a newly minted Black n Bluegrass Rollergirl, along with a few others who passed in February, plus the ones that had passed back in October. In early April, Skinnie Minnie, who’s in charge of our uniforms and merchandise, came walking in with a huge box hefted over her shoulder. One by one,…
This week, I return to my own personal quest to be a derby girl for BBRG. When last we left off, I had failed my evaluations, partially due to a bum leg, and partially because I just wasn’t ready yet. I continued to practice with the team during our off season. Although our mandatory practices…
Over the last three blogs, you’ve been reading about my struggles to get in BBRG, despite injuries and disappointments. Maybe you’re asking yourself. Why bother? It’s just roller skating, right? Let me tell you a little bit about what roller derby means to me, and maybe you’ll get an inkling of why I didn’t give…
There are no upcoming events.
