Big Block from Beyonslay
The East Coast Extravaganza is an annual tournament held last month – one MRD did not attend but will next year.
Taken from the ECE is a clip of Beyonslay of Gotham Girls Roller Derby and Rice Rocket from Texas Rollergirls having it out during the tournament. If this video doesn’t sell tickets, I don’t know what will.
What's really notable - besides the giant, most incredible hit I've ever seen - is the smart play.
1. Beyonslay easily moves Rice Rocket out with a booty block. She pays attention to the track boundary and lets up at just the right moment.
2. As the pack moves toward the outside Beyonslay sneaks through the inside - as Rice Rocket does - and prepares for her hit.
3. If the team hadn't raced back up with Beyonslay she wouldn't have been able to legally lay on on her.
4. Rice Rocket took the biggest hit I’ve ever seen and hopped back up as if nothing ever happened. And this was after another blocker gave her a sternum block. Most jammers would probably lie there in utter shock. Rice Rocket is incredible.
