Austin Phil noticed that the Houston Roller Derby is sharing their venue with a few others on the weekend of their last bout.
HRD is looking for 3 volunteers to help out with Blocker Stats. A good understanding and sharp eye are pretty vital. Also, if you have a voice recorder or tape recorder it’s a huge plus. They’re looking to train a few more people at the championship game so they can have a team of 3 more people for next season.

(more content at the web site, including photos and video)Austinites helped bring it back, and now they’ve brought it home.
The city behind the revival of women’s roller derby played host to the 2007 Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Championship Tournament this weekend. Skaters and fans from as far away as London united for one purpose: to watch feisty, tightly clothed women tackle, slam and pummel each other to the ground as they skate around a track.

The event was hosted by Austin’s own Texas Rollergirls, one of the driving forces behind the sport’s rescue from 1970s obscurity, and the 2006 national champions.
