The Big Easy Rollergirls All-Stars suffered a tough loss at the hands of North Carolina’s Cape Fear Roller Girls during their season opener on Saturday, March 31. The All-Stars played strong, giving 110% the entire bout, but Cape Fear jumped to an early lead and their defense kept the ladies of BERG from catching up, bringing the final score to 202-60. Despite the loss, the All-Stars looked sharp and fought hard, and seem more than ready to take on Capital Punishment in Tallahassee on April 14. …continue to post

The Crescent Wenches opened the 2012 season for the Big Easy Rollergirls with an incredible win over Alabama’s River Region Rollergirls, 214-85. Though River Region’s Deadutantes played hard, the Wenches were unstoppable, even allowing everyone to jam at one point in the final period and still picking up more points. It was a great bout for the Wenches, and brought their record so far this season to 2-0. They look to continue their winning streak on Saturday, April 14, when they’ll host the Hub City Derby Dames at 7:00 p.m. at UNO’s Human Performance Center. …continue to post

The 2012 Mardi Gras season was one of the most enjoyable seasons I’ve experienced so far, in part because I was given the opportunity to walk in two parades with New Orleans’ own Big Easy Rollergirls. The Krewe of Pontchartrain was the first of the two, and I brought my cameras along to capture the fun. …continue to post

The Krewe of Jingle hit the streets of downtown New Orleans on Saturday, December 3, and the Big Easy Rollergirls joined in the fun. New Orleans’ official holiday parade started just four years ago, and includes all the attractions of an authentic Mardi Gras parade, from large, decorative floats to marching bands, sprinkled with holiday flavoring, such as local Christmas icon Mr. Bingle. The girls of BERG skated their way through the parade, performing tricks and throwing candy and beads along the way. The parade was the perfect way to celebrate the holidays in true New Orleans fashion.

In perhaps the most violent, controversial night of derby I’ve seen thus far, the Big Easy Rollergirls closed their season at home with a double-header featuring both the Crescent Wenches and the All-Stars fighting their hearts out in two very close bouts. The Wenches lost by one point to the Acadiana Good Times Rollers in a nail biter of a bout that went down to the final second (205-206), while the All-Stars pulled out a victory over the attitude-driven Sonoma County Roller Derby team (119-114). There were time-outs galore, screams from the coaches, conflicting calls from the refs, and quite a few trips to the track by the EMTs, but it was one hell of a night. …continue to post
