Block around the clock: SSRG vs LBRG
posted by Justin Tolerable
Howdy, roller derby types! Guess what? Roller derby is happening (of the lady variety), and you’re invited. Our lovely derby wives – Sheffield Steel Rollergirls – are putting on what can only be described as an awesome bout extravaganza complete with “skates, cakes, and block and roll”. For those poor souls who haven’t been to an SSRG bout before, your salvation is at hand. The last one brought in roughly 600 people for a day packed with loads of family-friendly shenanigans including bouts, stalls, face painting, and a personal appearance from Inspector Poirot (or at least someone that looked...
Roller Dance –...

I’ve always been curious about that side of myself. As a 30 year old male gifted with little natural rhythm, dancing (with any semblance of style) has always provided a challenge. Now, I’m an absolute star at ‘Dad dancing’. I even have a nine year old son who (with the greater good in...

What brings you here? Well, you might be considering joining or you may have just joined The Inhuman League. You’ve never skated much before, ‘cept when you got a pair of inline skates for your birthday that time, and you didn’t stick at that did you? So you’re starting out in roller...

Ah, early spring. The flowers are a-blossom, the birds a-chirp, and—because it’s still February, mind—the drizzle a-pissing. What a time for growth. If you’re like me, the slight upturn in temperature and evening light leaves you fidgety for outdoor skating but stuck in by cold...
My partly true, partly imaginary bout report
posted by Justin Tolerable
EDIT: I’ve changed the red highlighting to blue, and the green to orange, after a reader pointed out that it looked grey for people who are colour blind. I haven’t changed all of it to links, or anything. Howdy, hoards of frenzied fans! How are you? How’s being in a hoard working out for you? We thought you’d like to hear about our amazing bout against Hot Wheel last Sunday. It was an epic battle between men and women. Unfortunately, seeing as I’m the first to actually write the bout report, you’re going to have to put up with my version, which is most definitely NOT the one I would read if given the...

Following on from yesterday’s super awesome fun time Lego news, we’re going to go for the double whammy and let you know/remind you about JammerUp. The roller derby board game. Picture this. You’re on the pivot line. Your jammer is poised and ready to be released. A...
Roller derby Lego!
posted by Justin Tolerable
It’s not often that two or more of my favourite things join together into a single, miraculous whole. I’m still waiting for flying cars, shark butlers, and nerdcore rapping robot mime-artists. So I’m ever so slightly happy to see roller derby and Lego doing so well over...
