Blue Peter!

[emmelinemay]

remember AGES ago I was excited that Blue Peter came down to film a game we put on specially for them so that Helen Skelton* could skate in a bout with us?

Well, it was on yesterday, and it's really good!

Minor niggle that they mixed up blocker and pivot, but in the whole scheme of things it doesn't really matter, as it's a really nice piece, and explains the rules pretty clearly, and it manages to make derby look awesome, which is quite hard to do on film, despite it being demonstrably AWESOME in real live.

You also see my back a lot, and you see me knocked off my feet and then knocked into a wall! Nice.

Check it out, be impressed, then come to watch us play on 22nd May.


* presenter of Blue Peter, the second woman ever to finish the Namibia Ultra Marathon, and the only woman to have Kyaked the ENTIRE Amazon river. So she's pretty badass.

Heh. Cool.

Of course, there's the impending roller derby film, too. Although I should mention that there now appears to be a Croydon team, too ...

Any write-up/vids from the Philly game? I found the score, but nothing else.
