Scars and Stripes Forever




Red White (black) and Blue...A night filled with fun packed Derby Action.  OCCRG teamed up with QCR and divided the skaters into two "mixed" teams.  Part OCCRG part QCR.  I skated alongside the Belles.  It was a fantastic night, a little less competitive than usual, but still carried the desire to play hard and have fun.  That's what OCCRG does best.  The Belles were made up of a strong group of skaters, Benzo Bang, OFX, and Trip to name a few from OCCRG.  Also Mexican Monster, Lady Gotcha, El Efino and Ida Stroyder from QCR.  We were pitted against some of our best skating partners, Zom B and of course Deadwards.  The Belles pulled off the win.  Deadwards and I seemed to be on each other's game, it was fun.  In the end, I always skate better with a full roster of OCCRG skaters.  We know each other, we play together, we should, right?  We had a pretty good crowd considering it's the middle of summer and CRRG also had a bout that night.  We are building an incredible fan base, which feels amazing.  We are growing as a team of skaters, but also from the business aspect as well.  the beauties were there cheering loud for Momma (and their favorite skaters...ahem Zom B and Deadwards.)  My Dad was quite proud that I was not sent to the penalty box, not even once.  He thinks the penalty box is funny.
Once again, the after party was also a HUGE win for OCCRG.  Great times had by all.  I hear there may even be some video floating around, by not viewable to the public eye.  Heehee.  Happy hangovers to many of us on Sunday!  I LOVE DERBY!
