Every so often I really do feel like I passed by an opportunity by not using my Hebrew name as the source of my derby name: Chaya Slaya or Chaya’ll Slaya could have been rad.

Sarah Moola - Young, British and Muslim
Sarah Moola is the only Muslim girl in the UK who competes in roller derby. Despite its reputation as an aggressive contact sport with women wearing raunchy costumes, Sarah adores roller derby and insists it does not clash with her religious beliefs. When she was meeting prospective husbands with her parents, Sarah was careful to choose someone who would be happy to let her pursue her love of roller derby.I filmed for this about a month ago. I hope other muslims see it and realise that it’s possible to get involved in sport without compromising your faith.
This makes my heart grow three sizes. <3
Also, congratulations on the nuptials, Daphne!
Can’t wait for my new toe guards to get here. I killed my old ones during a street skate.
SO AWESOME.
I foresee many lowblocks from the Renegade foot. ;)
My first thought upon seeing this was, “The Free Radicals have a skater who’s Muslim?”

Brand new and shiny Cinder Playsuit Short!
Cyberdog, I’m beginning to suspect you’re just bidding to be the designer for the next generation of uniforms for the Texas Rollergirls.
That’s totally a rad thing, by the way. ;)
Can haz tasty roller derby Jack Daniel’s?
That’s awesome!
…if only they’d gotten the date right.

Derby Photographer LeVar Hurtin Was Mugged!
LeVar Hurtin was mugged. He was pistol whipped and left for dead in the gutter. Let’s replace his phone and glasses because we love him!
Come on, Derby Tumblr. Let’s help a fella out.
I have been informed there is a skater out of Long Island named “Chest Blockwell.”
I can’t squee hard enough over the intersection of derby and geek culture.
No Objectivity Mondays
Sorry for my rant in my post about the new 27-in-5 rule.
I have no objectivity about discussions about the very subjective experiences people have with their own bodies and physical feats.
I’m also processing a whole mess of emotions from over the weekend, a lot of which were related to my physical state of being and abilities.
So yeah. If anyone took that rant as a personal attack, I do apologize. That issue as a major hot button for me, and I go from zero to sixty fuck yous a minute over it.
Bettie Kruger of the Tampa Tantrums hits Krispy Kreme-Her of the Swamp City Sirens
Reblogging this again because I want to point out how MASTERFULLY Bettie Kruger is skating (hurr hurr) the line of getting a direction-of-play penalty.
Ref friends, correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like if her feet were any bit more clockwise, she’d be on the bench.
Pure magic.
