Being badasses, skating as much as possible (old-school quads baby, not those inline things), networking with derby girls and derby associates, promoting our sport, looking fly, talking about how derby isn't a knitting circle, showing off our hard-earned legs of steel, impressing others with heinous bruises and rink rash, being the loudest people in the house and the hottest thing going in Maine.
Music
We love local musicians, and a few from "away," who've played great music for the league...Feel It Robot, Lady Kensington & the Beatlords, Lovewhip, Edith Jones Project, Meantone, King Memphis, derby girl songs by Erich, Moss Mountain Project, Full Contact Kitty, The Prozacs, The Gray Davies, Jenny Jumpstart, Cyan Ruse, X-ray Actress, The Horror.

You must watch this video immediately. By the brilliant Geoffrey Leighton & Shannon Brown:
Maine Roller Derby is the state’s first and only
women’s flat track roller derby league, and is
skater-owned and skater-operated. We represent women from across the spectrum.
We’ve got:
-Girlie-girls and women who wouldn’t be caught dead in
a skirt or stockings
-A sprinkling of fresh, young 21-year-olds and even more fresh, young thirty-somethings...plus every age in between (& we hope beyond)
-Lifelong athletes and women who’ve never touched a
sport in their lives
-Tattooed beauties and landscapes of virgin skin
-Short girls, tall girls, big girls, small girls
-Moms, girlfriends, wives, and spinsters
-Straight girls, gay girls, and anything in between
-Loud-mouthed firecrackers and quiet, reserved
badasses
-The list goes on and on...

Myths about roller derby:
-Fishnets and/or skirts are required
-It’s fake or staged. We are athletes who train three
times a week to excel in our full-contact sport. Come
watch a bout and you’ll never doubt it again
-Size is an issue
-You can be too old to skate. No way!
-There are too many injuries. Scraped knees didn't stop you from running around & riding your bike when you were a kid, so why let a few bruises & some rink rash stop you from playing derby?
-It’s “violent.” Roller derby is an organized,
aggressive, full-contact sport with legal checks and
blocks and ways to contact opposing players. Illegal moves result in penalties.
