    Merby is great! I watched Oly verses Your Mom today, and it left me feeling really sad. Did you watch the USARS tournament?

    I love me some Mens derby. Only seen one bout (Bristol Vice Quad Vs MK Quads of War) but it was pretty brutal, and fun!

    I'd love to form a team but there aren't enough men in our area. I'll just do ref training and practice with our local derby league (Severn Roller Torrent) for now.

    I'm going to the Mens Derby world cup in Birstol in March for my stag do. Its only an hour north of where i live :)

    Merby is amazing.

    The men put their bodies so much more on the line than women do. It's really cool to see it progressing skills and tactics wise too.

    I've noticed Mens derby is all about the Shoulder checks compared to Derby.

    there was a mens mixed scrim near me this weekend. I so wanted to go but I haven't passed minimum skills yet :(

    Derby players of all persuasions are welcome! However.. I prefer the term "derby with a dangle". It has a nice ring to it!

    i LOVE men's derby. but, hey, maybe i'm biased as i'm a mrda recognized official and do work with mrda behind the scenes. i'm a proud nso with the new york shock exchange. :)

    really, i think i'm at the point where i enjoy watching men's derby more than i do women's derby.

    We've got a team here Victorian Vanguard that I'm hoping to help ref their scrimmages this year :)

    Derby with a dangle! Priceless!
