MARCH 24: LAWMEN VS. COWBOYS

3/24/2012

On March 24th, Crossroads City Derby volunteered for the Lawmen vs. Cowboys shoot out for the 3rd consecutive year. The shootout is a fundraiser hosted by the Picacho Posse of Las Cruces, NM that benefits La Piñon to help fight domestic violence and sexual assault. It is just what it says, Lawmen vs. Cowboys; a shoot off between Cowboys and the Lawmen of our community.

As we watched the Lawmen, some in uniform, some wearing team shirts, and Cowboys dressed in their classic Southwestern ways of chaps and hats, carrying their rifles and rifle carts we got to see skills challenged and demonstrated in a variety of shooting scenarios set up at the Butterfield Range. Some scenarios included western walls with painted bricks to represent the Cowboys’ style, and some included silhouettes to represent the Lawmen’s trainings.

The sun beat down on us all as we watched, cheered and supported all of the participants, and around noon we were treated to a cookout style lunch. We helped clean up each shooting range after a group went through, picking up shells from rifles, shotguns, and pistols; we also helped reset targets back on their stands, and repainted them quickly to be visible for the next group. I found it interesting that some of the Cowboys (and Cowgirls) requested some of their shells back so that they may re-use them at a later time.

CCD loves characters of all sorts and watching members of the community demonstrate their skills as a means to give back to the community and help those around us. People and events like this are what helps CCD keep going in the community and gives our community a sense of pride. Thank you Lawmen vs. Cowboys for allowing us to help with such a great cause!

MARCH 18: SUCIAS AT SARD CHARMED FORCES

This wasn’t my first road trip for derby, so I was excited because it had been a while and I had a blast the first time. We started out in a caravan but eventually lost the pack… which was fine, we ended up at our destination ahead of everyone else and had a lot of fun talking and goofing off on the way. Upon arrival we split into our respective rooms, made plans for dinner and relaxed for a little while. Coach D went over strategy during part of dinner with the girls near him and the rest of us talked and joked around with our awesome waiter. With dinner done we headed back to the hotel for lights out, well everyone except our room of gigglers who stayed up for at least an hour until we passed out one by one.

Bout day, yay!

A quick trip to the mall for fun things some of the girls wanted but couldn’t get back home, then lunch and back to the hotel to rest and get ready for the bout. So funny watching everyone get ready, it’s like a mass panic for rubber bands, hair spray and tights… comforting to know that you are not the only one of the group that has those pre-bout moments. Off to the venue we went – very exciting bout. I never paid attention to the score so when I saw the final tally I was blown away.

We did so well, it was an amazing feeling to come out with the win after weeks of practicing and worrying. All in all it was an amazing trip from the driving to the after party, I love the girls on my team and can’t wait for the rest of the bout trips this season.

MARCH 1: INTRODUCING LAS SANTAS!

MARCH 1: INTRODUCING LAS SANTAS!

Within the wild world of roller derby leagues often support home teams, a travel team, and an alternate or “B team”. B teams are typically comprised of skater members from home teams who are seeking more bouting opportunities than their home team bouts alone will provide. These alternate teams often represent their leagues and carry a name relating in some way to that of their leagues travel team.

As Crossroads City Derby has evolved, so has our need for our very own B team. Without further ado, we introduce to you derby fanatics… Las Santas! Las Santas will showcase a variety of derby skill levels while representing the derby love that is Crossroads City Derby.

If cheering for the Sucias leaves you feeling a little, well, dirty… clean it up by cheering on our very own Santas! Their very first home bout will be on March 10th at Dickerson’s Barn against Silver City’s Skate the Wilderness. Get your tickets now for $8 from any CCD member, The Bean Cafe, Shred’s Board Shop & Apparel or Spirit Winds! Tickets are also available online at Brown Paper Tickets.
