Battle-ing Jamming

If you’ve ever read a roller derby blog then, inevitably, you’ve read about the dreaded jammer panty. Also known as the plague panty. If you’re unfamiliar, the jammer panty is the helmet cover that the jammer (point-scorer) wears on the track.  Think of it as a giant target plastered to your head. The reason behind […]

Mollytov 2.0

My Derby Resolutions: 1. Eat like a champ. But seriously,like a champ because I AM a champ. Or will be this season. I don’t want to say that I eat like crap, but I also don’t eat all the things I should. I don’t drink enough water either and I will do this too. I […]

Last Year’s Bucket List and MORE…

Alright ladies, exactly one year ago I wrote a New Year’s Resolution blog post about what my plans were for the year to make my roller derby experience as awesome as possible.  Now I’m here a year later, shame-stick in hand, looking back to see whether I accomplished the goals I set for myself.  Did […]

A Few Bumps in the Road – But We’re All Together

Oh, Ogden, UT.  How I always miss visiting you.  NOT!  The bars close at 1am.  The mountains are on the wrong side.  Not to mention the breathtakingly beautiful scenic drive through the middle of Wyoming is anything but breathtaking or beautiful.  Even so, every year we make the pilgrimage to the great state of Utah […]

Your Butt is Your Canvas

I’m feeling saucy today.  More than saucy.  I’m feeling a little unhinged – in a good way.  So instead of a wonderful, well thought-out blog full of good content, I’m filling it with BUTTS.  That’s right, good ol’ fashioned eye candy.  We’ve all seen it before; roller derby ladies have astounding ways of expressing themselves, […]

The Doctor is In

What time is it folks? That’s right, it’s time for another P.S.A. courtesy of the fine ladies of FoCo Girls Gone Derby, and me, Mollytov Maguire. There are a lot of phrases that get thrown around in derby; vulgar, funny, and punny alike roll right off our tongues (see what I did there? Get it? […]

When Life Gives You Jamming, Make PB & J’s

Oh, jamming.  Sometimes even the word gives me anxiety.  I spent most of last season being a blocker because that’s where my team needed me, and let me tell ya it wasawesome.  I felt so much less pressure because I didn’t have to score points, I got to know my other teammates a little better, […]

Don’t be a Hero! Injuries in Roller Derby

This Monday I went to roller derby practice.  It was a normal practice, just like every other practice before it.  There was no strange scent in the air, no looming sense of anxiety or the hint of a terrible fate on the horizon (stay with me I’m trying to build dramatic effect).  Everything was normal […]
