The Woman of Chicago Roller Derby

The Women of Chicago Roller Derby
After Attending the Chicago Roller Derby earlier this year I was hooked. I was intrigued by all the derby personalities – Jackie Daniels,T.S. Helliot, Take Out Box, Tomy Knockers, Red Zeppelin, Mel Content, Janicide Joplin – but then I found myself equally interested by what their lives where off the track.  I knew they all had the love and passion for the Roller Derby in common but I had no idea that they bring that same passion to what they do when they are not on the track.  These ladies inspire me. I hope they inspire you too!
