Sports Illustrated!

We made it to Sports Illustrated! No, not the swimsuit issue, but their website has photos of our Bollywood style half time routine (and other bits of bout action) from the Brooklyn / Queens game last weekend posted. Take a peak:

Our ladies are looking good! That's Kimmy Danger in the front flying her flags and in the pyramid from L-R are Audrey Scorne, Little Mary Switchblade, Shank the Skank, Lolita Ford, Heiss Cold Killa', and Feara Lynn. If you click through, you'll see other pics of us in action along with a number of great shots of the skaters battling it out.

As for the bout itself? Brooklyn took this one! But, stay tuned for the next bout when Brooklyn and Queens each go head to head against one of Rat City's teams!

Whip It! Whip It... GOOD!

A handful of the GGRD Jeerleaders and other GGRD league members attended a sneak preview of the new roller derby movie, Whip It, last night. The GGRD skaters were also representing in full force handing out Whip It promotional goodies that included cups, t-shirts, sweatbands, and buttons (seriously if anyone knows if there are pins with Iron Maven on them... send them Audrey Scorne's way!)

Here we are!

The movie itself was great (well, that seemed to be the general consensus although this blogger cannot speak for everyone). It had its obvious flaws and often the derby sequences were not very true to life (those gals would've all been sitting in the penalty box!), but overall the movie was fun and inspirational and exciting and funny. Look for other Jeerleaders out representing at the other NYC sneak previews this week and then be sure to check the movie out when it hits theaters nationwide this Friday!

Check out the trailer below:

The latest...

Save the date... September 27... the GGRD Jeerleaders have a fundraiser in the works! More information to follow soon.

Congratulations to the GGRD All-Stars for an amazing showing at the Eastern Regionals this past weekend. The reigning national champs sadly fell by just one point to the Philly Rollergirls during an insanely close and well-matched game for the title of 2009 Eastern Champs. Now that was  some exciting derby action! We look forward to seeing the rematch at Nationals in Philly November.

Don't forget the next home bout, Queens vs. Brooklyn, is less then two weeks away on Saturday, September 26. The derby action is going to be exciting and we're also cooking up a super fun half-time routine for your entertainment.

Whip It, a new movie featuring the star of Juno, Ellen Page, as a derby girl hits theaters soon. Derby passion is growing and growing! We'll see you at the premier soon!
