Fresh Meat Expo Bout: The Jawbreakers vs. Hell-Raising Heathers

And now Photos are online and story time.

A few days ago while on facebook I found myself upon a summons. Someone had made a post looking for a photographer for a roller derby event because they didn’t have anyone else available and I was tagged by a friend in the comments. I talked to the person shortly to get more info on each other and we set a time and place to meet up and head over. Now I have been to a game before but at the time was unable to bring my camera in so it was nice to be able to this time around. Now it did get dark relatively soon after the game started but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. I believe I got some nice shots out of it despite the low light and high speeds these girls were moving going at. Over all, I had fun and what I liked most out of it is the fact they hit each other pretty hard but still have a lot of respect of each other.

I hope to do that again sometime.

So, that was a lot of fun, went down on my blades, took a bunch of photos, talked to people, and got free stuff. For example I got a button and a bag for We Want Streetcar which is a campaign could be the return of street cars here, or at least in Downtown. The guys I saw during the stair claim at the bank tower with the Amazon Coconut Water were there. One of them saw me and remembered my name along with the fact I posted on here that I gave a buddy of mine the bottle that was given to me before, so I didn’t have a chance to try it. So he gave me two of them and I downed one of them right there. I thought it was good. The other one is also now gone. Also got a flyer from a Derby Doll for a coming match, Fight Crew and Varsity Brawlers. I was at a game awhile back, it was a little strange but interesting and I really liked the environment. And I loved the names they have for the teams and the players. Personally I wouldn’t mind seeing another game, but I much prefer if it was cheaper and if it would be cool if they would let me bring my camera in because I would get some good shots.

But yes, I had a very long ride I did hitting up all the hubs. here is what it looked like.

Eighteen point six miles… I did well. Didn’t like that it was a little warmer then I expected but I made due.

But next time, I’m wearing shorts.
