Texecutioners Make Their Demands

TXRG has a few little requests before the WFTDA nationals (video)

Weekends don't get much bigger in roller derby: On Friday, the best teams from the Women's Flat Track Derby Association will meet in Philadelphia for the 2009 Declaration of Derby national finals. As befits the founding mothers of the sport, Austin's own Texas Rollergirls took the time to list their rider requirements.



The Chronicle will be up in Philly all weekend, so watch for live blogging and a major feature in the Nov. 20 edition.
