BRG Breakout News
The BRG skaters waited anxiously early Monday morning May 14th for the rink doors to open and the FOX 29 news cameras to start rolling. The skaters geared up, all in good spirits and excited, looking forward to a wonderful opportunity to show thousands of FOX 29 viewers what the BRG are all about. While the skaters warmed up the cameras were set up, Dame Thrower and Foxy Dreaderick, government name Jennaphr Frederick, were mic’d up for the interview.
The cameras rolled for a three minute segment. Dame Thrower gave great PR while explaining the Jams in the background on the track. The skaters gave the viewing audience a great show of the fast pace jam skating, big hits, and derby finesse that the BRG possess. Viewers were also made aware of the injury that roller derby can entail with a bloody nose and a great sacrifice by Sin Ickle.
The BRG would like to thank FOX 29 for making the trek to Caln Roller Rink and taking the time to support the BRG.
A poem by Cherry Poppins
We rock and hell yeah…
We roll
We hit hard and bounce back
Our bodies take a toll, our wheels rarely cut track
We glide, screech and squeal, juking in and out
When one goes down we all kneel
this is how we bout …
Blocking, hitting, hip check
Fans go wild!! What a wreck!!
We squat down low
headlights straight up
For every blow
The crowds will always erupt…
We are like hot live wire
Sexyfied we roll like fire…
Fresh meat is how we began
Basics to survive
All star elite is where we end
one has to make great strides …
Breaks and sprains, falls and twists
When it comes it rains
and it makes us pissed…
Hardships, devastation, sadness
We are there for one another through all the madness…
We are the few with in the masses
There is strength in our numbers and the numbers of bad lasses
We are derby sisters through and trough
Red, black, blue on blue…
Who are we?
We are The Brandywine Roller Girls
We rock and hell yeah….
We roll
BRG Skatress at Jimmy’s BBQ
Perhaps you’ve heard of one of Brandywine Roller Girls’ favorite sponsors, Jimmy’s BBQ. Well, I’ll tell you what – those old-school burger joints ain’t got nothin’ on this guy. Jim Mog, owner of Jimmy’s BBQ, has come up with a creative way to draw people to his Malvern-based restaurant: Waitresses on skates. This vintage concept paired with his homestyle cooking has turned the heads of quite a few people and is
bringing in more and more business each month.
Customers are drawn to Jimmy because of his warm smile, and they are drawn to his restaurant because of his food. All week he serves his famous pulled pork, ribs, savory mac and cheese, mashed sweet potatoes… corn bread… homemade bbq
sauce… mmmmmmmmm………..
Whoops, sorry. I digress. I’ll start over.
Every day customers are drawn by the intoxicating aroma of Jimmy’s cuisine;
however, on the third Friday of the month, they may order their food then feel free to
take a seat because skaters from our very own Brandywine Roller Girls will happily roll
them their much anticipated meal. Donning team uniforms, fishnets and bruises from
last week’s scrimmage, our girls have been serving up his delicious barbeque since last
season and couldn’t love doing it more. For those skaters vying for the opportunity to
jump on skates and serve his food, well, we have to act fast because those 4 spots fill up
almost immediately!
Two of those lucky ladies have had this to say about their experience:
“You know it is just a normal Friday night at Jimmy’s BBQ – except that I am not
ordering food I am skating food to the wonderful patrons of Jimmy’s. There are a few
startled looks of unsuspecting soon to be new fans of the BRG as the place their order and sit down – and watch girls skate around in fishnets and uniforms. There are questions such as “Are you a roller derby girl? And is like when I was growing up and it was a fixed game?” As we answer the questions and pose for pictures, it is great to see that Jimmy’s BBQ fans turn into great supportive BRG fans.” I look forward to the Friday before a bout, because I know I am going to spend time with some old friends and new (while wearing skates, which is one of my all-time happy places to be!)”
– Knuckle Baby, Fallen Debutantes
“This past week I was lucky to have the pleasure of skatressing at Jimmy’s. It was very enjoyable to skate around dropping off his delicious foods to people and how nice and friendly Jimmy has made the atmosphere feel there; which then extends to his customers. I met lots of great people, eating great food and everyone seemed to be having a great time! I always enjoy going to Jimmy’s and his warm smile and yummy food just adds to the whole experience. Had a great night and can’t wait to do it again.” – Hello Hitty, Spell Razors
All in all, we love showing off our league and adore making new friends. This gives us the opportunity to do all of that. More importantly, we love supporting the wonderful business which serves up the best darn barbecue in the area! So come on out to meet our girls and one of our most favorite sponsors, Jim, at Jimmy’s BBQ in Malvern. We will be there on Friday, May 18th – come roll with us!
