Podcast with Sundog Marketing

We recently participated in a podcast with Sundog Marketing on social media promotion. We got to talk about how we’ve been using social media to interact with our fans, and how excited and grateful we are for everyone who contacts us through these avenues. Joe from FM Bootcamps was there as well to discuss how social marketing has affected his business. All in all, it was a good time!

And of course (if you haven’t already ;) find us on Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace and help spread the derby love.

August 13th Special Pride Week Bout

August 13th Pride Week Bout It was an awesome event! The men’s derby team, Rock City Riot, sealed up their Freddy vs. Jason theme bout at 74-73. The girls all dolled up as Kings vs. Queens took the stage and ended the night with Kings on top by nearly double the points!

Overall a great time was had by everyone with a stellar after-party as well. If you missed it, you missed out! Make sure to get your tickets to our season opening bout October 2nd for more fabulous derby sportswomanship!
