Despite the stormy Saturday, we showed up colorful and ready to support our fellow community! 🌈 As we’ve stated before, Pride is not a one day event for us! But it is a fabulous opportunity to come together and walk hand in hand with other allies! Gay, trans, q***r, questioning, or anywhere across the rainbow? You have space here.

We chatted with a lot of attendees about how to join or support our team which was amazing!

In case you didn’t get a chance to stop by our booth and chat with us but would still like information - we have a boot camp coming up. Starting on October 1st, all new skaters can come learn the basics. How to roll, stop, fall, etc. Check out the pinned post on our page for sign up link and more info.

For our outstanding and dedicated fans, our 2027 home dates will be finalized very shortly and those will be announced here and on our website! You can prepare to see more home dates next season! We are just as stoked as you all!! ☆

Thanks also go out to Crooked River Junior Roller Derby, as well, for marching with us and showing their support! They are accepting new skaters aged 9-17, at their open house this Wednesday! We love our littles! ♡

Yesterday was one of those reminders that there is ALWAYS something new to learn. No matter what level of skill you are at!

We had the chance to welcome Freight Train (Tinisha Bonaby) to practice and soak up some of her knowledge. She’s an incredible roller derby player with a strong background in dance skating, and getting to learn from her and skate alongside her was such a cool experience.

There’s something pretty special about getting on the track with someone who has put so much time and work into their craft and being able to learn from what they’ve picked up along the way.

As a thank you to Freight Train for spending some time with us and sharing her skills, we presented a custom designed banner for her to take with her wherever she may go on her travels.

We had a huge blast and already looking forward to the next! ◡̈♡☆
