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!
