Mickispeedia’s Jam from Claire Armstrong on Vimeo.

@armst caught my big jam on video. 5 points!

My first game as an official member of LA Derby Dolls’ Varsity Brawlers has come and gone. And I’m exhausted! Our lead jammer, Kammi Kazi was really ill and couldn’t play. Ghetto Stiletto was also out for injury. We lost Minnie Juggs early in the game when she took a skate to her forehead. So needless to say, we had some hurdles to overcome. And San Diego’s The Swarm is a formidable team. But we played hard, particularly in the second half of the game. We showed The Swarm we weren’t going down without a fight! We totally won! … the second half. The first half, well, that was another story. Still, we played strong and I’m super proud of our performance. Thanks to everyone who came out! And to those who tried but couldn’t get tickets. Next time, you better buy them sooner! WE WILL SELL OUT!

In fact, you can get tix now for the next bout: Fight Crew vs. The Swarm March 28.

The next Varsity Brawlers bout is April 18 against the Sirens.
