The good people over at Frozen Coldbase made us, what looks like is going to be an exciting roller derby video game for the nintedo wii.
Just from the little clip alone it's a fast paced game full of whips and hits, a kick ass soundtrack and the voice of roller derby's beloved Dumptruck

You get to pick from real current Wftda roller derby players and you can play regular tracks or if you would rather, a more racetrack type track with ramps, oil spills etc.

Plus you dont have to go to the store and track this game down. It is brought to your home through the internet with nintendos WiiWare option. 

I can not wait for this to come out!

Whip Me Into Wednesday!

I was just stuck in a you tube vortex. You know, when you type something in and just start clicking on the suggested videos on the side panel. It usually leads me into bizarre half human half fish videos or men with tails, that amaze and disgust me. This time it brought me to an amazing whip done by Anya Heels to her team mate Wile E of the Rat City Roller Girls Check out the awesomeness at about 8 seconds in!!! I want Anya Heels to whip me anytime

How to get Butts in the Seats! Part one.

So you've trained really hard, and planned the bout and the bands and the after party is all set. All this work is wasted if you cant get people in the seats to see it.

My roller derby team does not like to spend money on anything. We want to keep money to put on more bouts. So I'm going to post some ways to get your fans at your event for as cheap as possible.  The key to getting people to the bouts is that every derby girl in the league should be working their butts off to get the word out. Even if you have a person in charge of promotions, she should only be responsible for contacting media to set up interviews etc. Everyone in the league should be working in their own circles and as a group to get the information out to all ages and walks of life.

Roller Derby really is a sport for everyone so don't stay in your comfort zones, branch out and meet lots of people and promote your event and your sport.

Word Of Mouth 

The first place to start is with your members, supporters and current fan base. Use your meetings, regular communications and newsletters to let them know about your event and encourage them to tell their friends and friends of friends. Word of mouth is still one of the most powerful selling tools because it also comes with a reliable, credible endorsement.

Past that you can talk to people on the street, people in line at the grocery store. Make sure you have hand bills or business cards with your website listed on you at all time. Get your friends and family excited about the event as well and they will tell their friends.

Tell people at your work, at the daycare, at the doctors appointments, your kids school, your nephews school, get your family and friends to do the same.  Pretty much where ever you go you should find someone you can talk a little derby to.

Make a goal for yourself and get all the girls in the league to do the same.  Whether you have a bout or not you should tell 5 people a week, or even a day if you can, about what your league is doing, or just getting your website out there for people to get some information and see what your league is all about.

In my experience, in roller derby, people always have questions about the sport and if you know the information and are excited about it they will be interested.  If you can get them interested, give them the information, they will pass it on for you.

Step Moms - You hate us and we beat you!

This weekend, Sufferjet and myself, travelled down to Toronto once again, to play some roller derby.

We took Dawn Kashane, and our five rookies and seven fresh meat, aka never played a game before, gave them some bright freaking yellow and baby blue shirts and threw them to the wolves.  The wolves being The Rollergettes.

The Step moms really stepped it up! The jammers listened well, played smart and really worked hard! They just kept skating, and skating hard,  even in the ridiculous heat.   The blockers worked extremely well together. The freshies really listened to the rookies and they even pulled off some advanced plays that we had just been introducing. It was great to see that our training program is really paying off.  Sufferjet and myself we screaming, and laughing and maybe, just possibly, a little crying! We were just so proud of all these girls.  Every single on of them had a shining moment or ten.  

Plus! I didn't even have to get my ridiculously awesome yellow shirt a bit sweaty.  They were able to do it with only Sufferjet and myself coaching from the sidelines. They were able to finish the whole game, all of them as a team.  The final score 189 - 24! Go Step Moms!

Thanks to the Rollergettes for having us down and showing us a good time and a big thanks to Ref Ormed Rebel, Mirambo, Commiekaze, Killson, Back Alley Sally and Scarlet Fox for coming out and helping with reffing and stats.  Also a big thank you to all the fans and members of the Forest City Derby Girls that came out to either watch and show their support or help out where ever we needed them.

You can see more of our Fresh Meat and rookies at our Goderich Game.  

Love Anya

Roller Derby Products

I was reading my new Five on Five magazine and I came across these cool wrist guard covers.
They are available from the OC Roller Girls website.  They come in super hero style, leopard print, camo, skulls, and golden and blue.  I think they are super awesome.

 

These ones are my favourite.  I have some wonder woman styled hot pants by Knicker Rocker on Etsy and added with these rocking wrist guard covers would be superheroliscious!

For 32.99 US you can look like a super hero, and you would probably skate like one too.  There are 6 styles to choose from and each one is reversible. So if you don't have your super hero hot pants on you can flip them inside out and go incognito.

                                          







A little love, Anya Face.

This is a cute pair of hotpants made for Sufferjets daughter Jada.  She came up with her own derby name. 

Printed on a small American Apparel unders in blue.
She is all set for some Jr. Roller Derby.
You are sure to find Jada with these babies on either at our merch booth during games or rounding up hula hoops during half time!

For The Love Of Hot Pants -Assograms

I have more hotpants then i have underpants.  Its an addiction really.  I know i have more hot pants then games to play.  I sometimes sign up for extra practices and scrimmages just so i can wear that new pair of hot pants.  Since i am jobless i wear hotpants all day! Everyday, I am fully prepared for a pants off dance off party! Life is good when you gots some hotpants on!

Where do i find so many hot  pants? All over! Mostly online or i get sufferjet to heat me up a pair of assograms.

The first pair of hot pants I'm am going to feature is, of course, our own!

so here is THE ASSOGRAM

There is nothing more exciting then taking a pair of american apparel underwear and putting your own wording on it.  We are signed up to play a Cougars vs Cubs game with ToRD next weekend and we are already getting giddy as to what to put on our bums!

How do we wear our panties? Well we take a pair of tights or leggings and then maybe a pair of fishnets and throw our undies on over top! Add a pair of leg warmers or high socks and the look is complete.

For those girls that don't play roller derby you can still design a great Assogram.  You can ...

• put your lovers name on them.  

• You can make a pair of lucky underpants for your next job interview,  or sporting event! 

• You can design a pair and wear them to the gym over top of your work out clothes.  

•  Going to be in a charity run or bike ride? Design a great asssogram to promote your business. 

•  Need group uniforms for that soccor team or dodgeball team?

•  In a wedding party. Assograms for the stagette Party!

There are endless reasons why you would like to write something on your butt!

So stop by our little etsy store.  Grab one of the premade assograms or hit the custom button and make something up.  You can choose the size, colour of lettering, colour of panty, font and what you want to the assogram to say! Super easy! Super Sweet!

Keepin' the press hot~ Sufferjet

First Post!

This is my first post! So exciting and scary. hee hee.
This blog is mostly to promote our business, Hot Across Buns.

We started this business about two years ago. Sufferjet and myself are roller derby girls and we play for the Forest City Derby Girls, out of London Ontario.

Every year, they have a roller derby convention in Las Vegas, called Rollercon. About 1000+ derby girls from all over the world get together and train, play games and drink, 1 dollar margaritas. A bunch of girls from our league went down. Amongst the drinking and the skating and the dancing. I took a course about merchandising. The guy running the course was talking about heat presses. I took the course, ran to find Sufferjet and told her we had to get one.
Sufferjet gave me the look, the one i have grown quite used to seeing, the your nuts look. About two weeks after we came home, Sufferjet calls and says i found your heat press, and we bought it. Not thinking of going into business, but mainly to just put our name and number on all our shirts!

So, we started doing our names and numbers, and then the rest of the girls in the league wanted their stuff done, then Sufferjet did some bowling leagues and wedding party shirts. We didn't really have to free time to play with it too much with all the derby stuff we do.

Fast forward to last February, we were at another training camp in San Diego, Blood and Thunder. After a gruelling and amazing day of skating, we were looking at the merch the lady was making with her heat press. I told Sufferjet i would be right back, I was just going to get a drink. I come back to the merch table and Sufferjet is behind the counter, making the merch. I start laughing, and ask her what the heck was she doing? She looks at me, and says, "We need a cutter."
So we got a cutter! Still, we had not really done too much with it, except for league merch, and some funny stuff for ourselves.

Then i got a lay off from work. Home with nothing to do, we decided to open our Etsy shop.
Its just a baby shop. We are still looking for the best deals on clothing, supplies, etc.
Figuring out how to work the computer programs, drinking slushy drinks, and coming up with ridiculous things to put on pretty much anything.

So this blog will be about our adventures in derby, the crazy stuff we make, and other stuff we think is prrty cool.

Hope you enjoy!
Anya Face
