1. The Family Vengeance --- Mama V and Papa V with Lady Vengeance before the bout.
2. Rising temps caused large sheets of ice and snow to slide off the roof!Consequently, everyone was forced to use a small side entrance and to move their parked cars away from the front of the building.
3. Lady V's first warm-up helped minimize her butterflies.
4. Sawbonz and Jenna von Fury flex and pose before the bout.
5. Comaraderie --- The Garden State Roller Girls travel team enjoy a laugh together.
6. Round 'n' round 'n' round ...
7. The ref signals a "lead jammer."
8. Jeerleaders' silly antics: A monkey chases a banana, presumably for the younger spectators in the crowd! With such an edgy rep, the sport surprisingly strives to be family-friendly.
9. Get your derby merchandise!The usual --- tee shirts, mugs, boxers
The unusual --- crocheted ovaries & vagina (not shown)
10. Proof of I.D. required for the beer tent --- I am indeed over 21.
11. High tech meets low tech. Fans cheer their support, while displaying both handmade and custom-designed, computer-generated signs!
12. After the bout, Lady Vengeance is rosy-cheeked, a little sweaty and disappointed that her team lost .... but she's still smilin'!

Nicely Done!
Thanks for posting pictures of the Family Vengeance. I like the tag line on Lady Vengeance's shirt, "Talk Derby to Me."
Here is a link you might like to watch. It's a video from the 70s showing Jim Croce singing Roller Derby Queen. Enjoy!

Elsie,
you don't look a day over 33.
...and if Sawbonz is the one on the left, I def don't want to tangle with her...
She'd eat me w/ Hollandaise.
