Big Day for Mrs. X

[MrX]

Mrs. X has her first roller derby bout today. Okay, she's actually a part of the halftime exhibition bout featuring league newbies, but it is in front of a couple thousand people, so, pretty exciting anyway.

Of course this thread would be useless without pics, so here you go:

I'll post some more from the bout later tonight. Her team is the Harm School Knockouts, and the uniforms are Catholic Schoolgirlesque, so I assume pictures would be appreciated.

That is kick-ass. Hope she protects those teeth.

Was she inspired by the movie Whip It?

Me too, she has nice teeth.

She was inspired several years ago when she went to a bout in Austin. We just recently stopped moving around and settled in Denver, so she decided it was time. Whip It has definitely increased the newbie population lately.

I like Mrs X. Now go kick some ass girl.

Well make sure to report in and let us know how it went. We do not get a lot of inside reports from the world of roller derby.

I would like to know the level of pain on a scale of 1 -10.

I loved roller derby when I was a little kid. My dad took me a couple times to see the LA T-birds.

Of course I do. And the old guy on the t-birds. Palphie Valedaris (sp?).

Interesting that they still wear rollerskates. I would have expected that at some point the sport would have evolved to rollerblades but obviously not.

 

[Acid Joe]

Muddy there is a league (or used to be a leaque) that did the rollerblade thing........ I love the vintage roller skates......

 

[Bread]

Well? Any tales of carnage?
