Be Heard - It's Survey Season!

Tell us who you are and what you like 


 

Derby superfan?  Only been to one bout?   

 

Come one, come all; the Women's Flat Track Derby Association invites you to its third annual demographic survey.

 

The goal of the demographic survey is to compile broad statistical profiles of the association's skaters and those in the stands of modern roller derby.  The data collected each year is incredibly valuable to the association as it continues to work to develop the sport of amateur roller derby around the globe.

   

This year, a second survey, the Tournaments and Broadcasting survey, collects opinions from fans who watched the 2011 WFTDA tournaments live or via internet broadcast. 

 

So please take a few minutes and head to:

 

wftda.com/survey  

 

Help the Gotham Girls and the WFTDA support the growth of modern roller derby by taking one or both surveys.

 

Survey participants may opt to enter a drawing to win WFTDA prize packs, containing a Ceramic Insulated Coffee Mug and a Gildan Soft Grey WFTDA Tee.  Surveys close February 15th.

See Kansas City Bomber with GGRD

Special guest: Raquel Welch! 

Sunday, February 12th, 4pm
Walter Reade Theater
165 West 65th Street, Manhattan


In the 1972 derby classic Kansas City Bomber, Raquel is "the hottest thing on wheels" as roller derby champ K.C. Carr, fighting to hold her own in the sport's cutthroat world of fierce rivals and treacherous team politics. K.C.'s story of balancing personal and professional life involved bone-crunching realism -- even months of skating practice couldn't save Raquel from a broken wrist.

Spearheaded and co-produced by the star, the film features derby pros such as Judy Arnold of the Philadelphia Warriors, and John Hall and Danny "Carrot Top" Reilly from the L.A. Thunderbirds.


Join GGRD skaters for a Q&A with Raquel Welch herself after the screening!  Tickets available from the Film Society of Lincoln Center at filmlinc.com.

Mark Your Calendar - March 31 and April 28 


It's the question on everyone's lips --
WHEN will Gotham's 2012 season dates be announced?

Hang tight, fans!  We're still working out details with our venues, and you'll be the first to know when tickets go on sale.

The first set of bouting dates to circle on your calendar:
** March 31 and April 28 **
... Saturday nights we've got reserved for home dates #1 & #2.


Meanwhile, cheer on the GGRD All-Stars on Saturday night, March 3rd, when they travel to Los Angeles for a re-match against the L.A. Derby Dolls' Ri-ettes on the "old-school" banked track.
