Pretty interesting collection of stats and graphs as WFTDA releases the results of their second annual comprehensive skaters & fans survey.

Another nation falls to the inexorable march of roller derby in an invasion led by ex-Windy City Roller Goldie Shocks.

Very short but extremely sweet promo for next weekend's historic Anarchy in the U.K. tournament.

Finally, here is a senior thesis that is totally NOT boring: a remarkably well-shot and well-edited 15 minute short doc on the Denver Roller Dolls, courtesy of the DRD's Yvonne Phan.
