The L.A. Derby Dolls and Chicago’s Windy City Rollers battled it out at the Red Bull Banked Jam event in Chicago, where the roller derby sport all began. Watch the two teams compete on a banked track, and find out who won the event.
If you are on the internet all day “working”, you have already seen both of these videos. The first is by the always flamboyant, Leslie Hall. The former art student, turned bling sweater curator, turned rapping sensation. Leslie knows that tight pants aren’t her friend. She’s what you might call “self ironic”. Like all great train wrecks you start to watch because you want to see the carnage. However, with Leslie you continue to watch because she’s not really half bad. The fact that she’s embracing her quirks and owning them outright….well its almost inspiring. You want in on the joke. You might even buy the t-shirt.
“…a contest that will end in a glorious win… or a humiliating loss.”
You’ve probably seen the Sylvester Stallone sports film Over the Top. You saw Sly rise in the world of professional arm wrestling as he struggled to put away opponents in a battle of mind over muscle. And no one can make a sport look as exciting and visceral as Stallone, but what is it really like?

Colin Munroe is a very clever up and coming artist out of Canada. We think he’s dreamy! Like a pop-rock cupcake with hip-hop and electronic sprinkles, he incorporates diverse influences, from the above U2 cover, to Bob Dylan and Kanye West. The outcome, tasty treats!
We’ll give you a little Colin fix later this week when we sit down with him in Austin.
