Bringing home a WIN from time in Denver and Fort Collins this weekend. My photos are from non-game related logistics and fun times. Explanations? Greeley's venue (charmingly called "Greeley SlaughterHouse Kill Floor") had meat painted on the wall in the locker room. Also pictured: hippie trashcan set up, victory bacon, victory reaching-in-the-overhead cabin, and a homemade program. The FoCo Microbruisers offered intense competition, which ultimately led to our first victory of the season. Its not our last, I guarantee it. As we left the venue, one FoCo NSO made it a point to say that we were "classy broads." I have to say, I agree.<br />
<br />
Are you coming to our June 23rd double header? You should. At the afterparty, we can all eat victory bacon. Click here to buy your ticket to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/238319" target="_blank">badassery</a>. <br />

(see above photo, made even more dramatic with Teri-Yaki/photoshop) Fleur d'Lethal is back in action on the track this season- as the Crescent Wenches' Coach. She seems even taller as an authority figure, if you can believe it. Anti Em kept up her fresh tattoo safe while scrimmaging by covering it with a sweater fragment. Go, em. Emerald LaGhastly also perfected her bacon brownie recipe. All of the aforementioned skaters are ready to kick some ass fore the start of our 2012 season.

How can you go wrong with either? Both the ladies sparkling in pink or the men in golden tennis shoes scream NOLA!<br /><br />How are we? Sore. The skaters of BERG are looking good. No really- Sadist Hawkins plowed through a few blockers at last week's scrimmage, sending them to the outside boundaries of the track like rag dolls. Awesome. LezBionic has been doing P90X in Washington Square Park everyday by memory. Coalminer's Slaughter created a huge slosh pipe during the off season, (<a href="http://www.sloshpipetraining.com/videos.html">...curious</a>?) which we hauled from one side of our training space to the other- after sprinting with an elevator cable, of course. Diet Choke has a bruise on her chin that resembles the Superman logo.<br /><br />The bottom line? We're training hard. We're stoked for our March 31st season opener, and busy preparing our bodies and minds for a kick ass season.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Look for the whole BERG crew as we roll in February 11th's Krewe of Pontchartrain parade!</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Artwork courtesy of Elektra Q Tion of Carolina Rollergirls</span>Big Easy Rollergirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09350591189456539868noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34665456.post-780663203634633342012-01-04T12:42:00.008-06:002012-01-04T17:06:49.726-06:00Bootcamp Requests?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtdZUF7t5cFodeAyHRw9fkRFjM0gvwLODpGN_Zo47GPaAz2EJ5YvWu3QnO8uWjpwNRgmbkA34EnK-_ZtFuwzQqUBOazn36j1hnt7i1YvgR_-XD0KSe0JjZ2n-4pHbxV2Xi4dyqQ/s1600/slizz.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtdZUF7t5cFodeAyHRw9fkRFjM0gvwLODpGN_Zo47GPaAz2EJ5YvWu3QnO8uWjpwNRgmbkA34EnK-_ZtFuwzQqUBOazn36j1hnt7i1YvgR_-XD0KSe0JjZ2n-4pHbxV2Xi4dyqQ/s400/slizz.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693915631536630418" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">BERG is taking requests for training boot camps!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Just click<a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=1bYtX1Hgj1uf2u2MvCj1eAYKnWyCHj9ZY05pd6VRi8jr5r5s2qPyZi4yghs_5&hl=en_US"> </a><a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=1bYtX1Hgj1uf2u2MvCj1eAYKnWyCHj9ZY05pd6VRi8jr5r5s2qPyZi4yghs_5&hl=en_US">here</a> for details, flyer to share.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Basically, email Coalminer's Slaughter for more information if your league is interested: coalminers.slaughter@gmail.com<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;">Training photo is sort of amazing.

font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">.</span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do I need to know how to skate?</span></span><br />No, but you should at least be able to stand on skates comfortably and move in a forward direction without white-knuckling the rail. Success in derby requires much more than mere skating skills and BERG has benefited from many a diamond in the rough.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">How can I prepare?</span></span><br />First off, get to know us and our sport! Come see our games to gain an understanding of what's involved – tickets are available on our <a href="http://www.bigeasyrollergirls.com/">website</a>. Sign up for our mailing list to get an idea of what our schedule is like and follow us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2236220767">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/NOLArollerderby">Twitter</a>. BERG is a proud member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (<a href="http://wftda.com/">WFTDA</a>). Visit their site to read the rules, familiarize yourself with the history, and get a sense of what we mean by our WFTDA motto, “Real. Strong. Athletic. Revolutionary.”<br /><br />Second, cross train. Derby is hyper athletic and while we’ll definitely whip you into shape, you’ll do yourself a favor by meaning fit from the jump. <a href="http://www.anytimefitness.com/"> Anytime Fitness</a> has programs and equipment to get you in shape! Then skate, skate, and skate some more! The more comfortable you are on your skates, the faster you will pick up the game. There are a handful of local rinks with open hours where you can rent quad skates on work on basic skills. <a href="http://www.skatecountrywb.com/">Skate Country Westbank</a> and <a href="http://www.airlineskatecenternola.com/">Airline Ska</a><a href="http://www.airlineskatecenternola.com/">te Center</a> are two of them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What happens at Tryouts?</span></span><br />Tryouts will include the following: a group warm up, skills testing, and an interview. Skaters will be reviewed by the training committee and cuts will be made during both the skating warm up (but only in the case in which a skater is a danger to herself or others or simply cannot stand on a pair of roller skates) and the skills testing.<br /><br />The skaters who make the final cut will be asked to participate in short interviews with representatives from Big Easy Rollergirls. The representatives will be looking to gauge your schedule, your goals, whether you’d fit on the league, and whether you can make the time commitment to playing for BERG, etc.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What will I be tested on?</span></span><br />Some of the things we will be looking for in tryouts are:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Basic Skills:</span><br />Forward skating<br />Gliding on one foot<br />Crossovers<br />Balance and Agility<br />Plow and T-Stops<br />Single Knee, Double Knee, and Four Point falls<br />Skating in proximity to others<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Endurance</span>:<br />Number of laps in 2 minutes<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other</span>:<br />Good Attitude<br />Basic knowledge of the sport<br />Ability to listen and apply new knowledge<br />Ability to picks up skills quickly<br />Time commitment – Fresh Meat practices Monday evening 6:30-8:30 & Saturday morning 8:00-10:30<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Wha</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >t equipment will I need for clinics and try-outs?</span><br />Every skater will be required to wear a helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, a mouthguard and quad roller skates. We will have limited gear to loan out. A word to the wise: please do not invest in $500 worth of gear until you have received notification that you made the grade. Many of our league’s best skaters tried out in rental skaters and the Academy Sports special (bike helmet, roller blade pads).<br /><br />For insurance purposes, you will be required to sign a waiver for tryouts. It's a very standard waiver and we'll have lots of copies for you to look over and sign.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What hap</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">pens after try-outs? </span></span><br />The training committee reviews all potential members and will choose skaters whose drive, skills, and personality they think are a good fit for the Big Easy Rollergirls. New skaters are granted a provisional membership during their first six week probationary training period. After that, skaters start a three – six month basic training program which includes multiple levels of assessments and testing at the end of which lies team placement.<br /><br />Our fresh meat program helps ease skaters into the consuming world of roller derby, help maintain and grow your fitness level, become more stable and skilled, and ensure you have skills needed to be able to compete on one of BERG’s teams. Lots of new skaters want to know off the bat when they get a name. That should be the very last concern on a potential or new skater’s mind. Learn the game first, then worry about your name and a bout-fit. Remember, we’re athletes before anything else. The fishnets are just a detail.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I play</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> for another roller derby league. What do I do?</span></span><br />The Big Easy Rollergirls have established a transfer process for skaters that are moving to the area from other roller derby leagues or for regional skaters who also would like to compete on a WFTDA team. If you are currently skating with another league, you may not need to tryout for BERG. Please email membership@bigeasyrollergirls.com for specifics and to find out whether you qualify as a transfer skater.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What type of commitment does it take?</span></span><br />We’ll be honest; playing roller derby with the Big Easy Rollergirls is like a part-time (and sometimes even full-time) job. It is not for the faint of heart, nor the inflexible or full-of-schedule. These are just some of the basic league requirements for membership:<br /><br /><ul><li>Participate in at least two to four, 2-hour min. practices per week</li><li>Meet your minimum league committee work each month including but not limited to fundraising, bout production, & flyering</li><li>Provide timely payment of monthly league dues – $35 (prices subject to change)</li><li>Provide timely payment of Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby Association (WFTDA) insurance – $75 (for 16 months’ coverage, also subject to change)</li><li>Wear proper safety gear (helmet, mouth guard, elbow pads, knee gaskets, knee pads, and wrist guards)</li><li>Read and understand the official WFTDA derby rules</li><li>Primary medical insurance recommended</li><li>Willingly adhere to the BERG & WFTDA Skater Code of Conduct</li><li>Have a ton of moxie, determination, and a nice smile</li></ul><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Are there a lot of injuries?</span></span><br />To be blunt: yes. Roller derby is a high impact, super aggressive, full contact sport. BERG’s training committee does everything possible to prevent as many injuries as possible (by spending lots of time on how to skate safely) but unfortunately the reality of the sport is not so much if you get injured but when.<br /><br />As mentioned above, full protective gear is required for all skaters (and refs!) and we follow that rule strictly. Although primary health insurance is not currently required if you want to skate with us, every skater (and ref!) is covered under a roller sports insurance. This supplemental insurance is extremely affordable and is required. But, primary health insurance is still strongly recommended.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What if I don’t make try-outs or I’m not ready yet?</span></span><br />Don’t worry, keep skating! It can take months or even years to become a strong roller derby skater. If you miss this round of tryouts or don’t quite make the cut, keep working hard to prepare for the next one. Don’t be discouraged, many current Big Easy Rollergirls tried out more than once.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who do I contact if I have additional questions?</span></span><br />Please feel free to e-mail our Training Manager, Coalminer’s Slaughter, at Coalminers.Slaughter@gmail.com. Come chat us up in person. We’re always happy to answer questions and talk about the sport we love.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Keep in mind – becoming successful member of BERG takes a lot more than just roller skating.
