So, Great Skate has to abide by the statewide curfew of 8:00, which means I cannot go skating tonight. I also found out my +1 has decided to not go as well. That means next week, if there is no curfew, I will have a ticket for adult skate. Anyone that wants to skate, you must be 18+, I have a free ticket for you.
Thank you AZRD Skate Riot Project, Surlies and AZRD Desert Phantoms for participating in our first ever AZRD games today! We had so much fun watching everyone participate in our games. Y'all absolutely KILLED it but there can be only one winner....
SRP had a great start but lost to the Surlies with a nearly perfect chalk drawing of our logo.
Surlies went on to battle the Phantoms. It was a tricky game with some official reviews and penalties but in the end the Surlies once again rose to the top. This time with a perfect phantom jersey and a video that brought us to laughing tears.
Way to go Surlies!!!
Did you see??? Our Nation Squad accepted the challenge and have challenged AZRD Skate Riot Project to go next. Check out their amazing video...we can't wait to see how far this challenge goes! ๐

Welcome to Feature Friday, where we highlight a member of AZRD who makes a difference in the league! For our Feature Friday this week we bring you Red Haute!
Red has been in the derby community since August 2011! ๐ฎ When asked what brought her to AZRD, Red says "I happened to go to RollerCon to meet a friend who was in derby in 2011. After seeing the amazing variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and ages of people that were there and participating, I thought I'd consider giving it a try. I met Rum in the hallway at the Rio and asked about where she skates; she told me about AZRD. I emailed once I got home and went to watch a practice the very next week. I haven't looked back since!"
Derby has affected Red similarly to many people who become involved in this sport. She describes it very well:
"Starting derby is one of the best, hardest, scariest, most frustration, exhilarating things I've ever done, and I couldn't be happier I did. Every skill I acquire, every milestone I reach is hard fought for and one more reason for me to keep working for the next one. Even breaking my left ankle six months after starting couldn't stop me, or breaking the right ankle three years later. I'll keep pushing myself until I achieve my final goal, becoming a part of our National B team. No matter how long it takes!"
Thank you Red for your hard work and dedication to Arizona Roller Derby and this sport we love so much! Come see Red Haute play tomorrow with her team AZRD Midnight Storm They are playing against her previous team, AZRD Skate Riot Project The game starts early with the first whistle at 3:30!
Welcome to Feature Friday, where we highlight a member of AZRD who makes a difference in the league! For our Feature Friday this week we bring you Ham Wheezy!
Wheezy was nominated for Feature Friday to recognize her achievement of being voted tournament MVP in the Cactus Cup! This means that of all the teams, the participants voted for Wheezy as best overall!
Wheezy was on our first roster for AZRD Arizona Rising, our B team and has worked hard through injuries to earn her spot on our A team AZRD Arizona All-Stars! She is a true leader on and off the track, filling the role of captain for the Brawlers, Surlies, Arizona Rising, and currently AZRD Skate Riot Project! She is also the safety manager of the league!
If you want to see the amazing Ham Wheezy in action she will be playing May 11th with her team, SRP, against AZRD Midnight Storm!
