All I Want For Xmas Is Cool Derby Stuff

Actually, I have finally picked up my copy of the new DVD "Hell On Wheels", which chronicles the beginning of Women's Flat Track Roller Derby.  You can see it right there on the screen. The very moment FLAT TRACK is born.  Way cool.  I haven't had a chance to check out all the extras yet, but I'm very excited.

So check it out.  Maybe get a couple of copies to pass around and introduce folks to some derby history.  It's available at Indiepix, and I'm sure at Amazon or other online sources.

There's also cool derby books.  If you missed it, look for Melissa Jouwan's book - Roller Girl: Totally True Tales Of The Track.  You may have to Google to find a source.

Lastly, there's a new book on Roller Derby Poster Art called "Roller Derby Art" by Sherri Cullison Pfouts.  It has tons of great posters, including TRD posters by our own graphic artist Bradley.  As this is new, your favorite Roller Girl may not even know about it yet.  I got mine at Powell's, the best book store I have EVER been in, and I've been in a LOT.  I'm sure there are several sources online, but here's a link to the publisher, Schiffer Books.

And of course you can always support your local Roller Derby team by buying their merch.  Many leagues have online merchandise.

Please post your Derby XMAS idea.  Spread the word of Derby for XMAS!!!
