This is the inside of the pavilion at Stump Lake Campgrounds in North Dakota. It is a roller rink built in 1920.

Last weekend, North Dakota Legends put on a workshop of Short Track Roller Derby. Skaters from St. Louis to LaCrosse Wisconsin, Sioux Falls to Saskatchewan Canada, and of course Bismarck (home of the Legends) attended.

I was a spectator, a supporter for our friends up North. I committed to attend last year when we had half of a flat track team (8 skaters). Unfortunately our veterans moved on, and we disbanded in the fall. In January I asked the remaining members if they wanted to continue on. None of them had been in a derby bout, and the consensus was to disband...

I couldn't file the paperwork to shut down...

Last weekend, I watched two skaters who never skated in a bout, Jam for the first time...

The veteran skater were so kind, and concerned for their safety while giving them the experience of REAL roller derby action was incredible... INSPIRATIONAL!!!

I want my friends, Megan, Justice, Julissa, Emma and ALL of our new friends who have inquired about our team who have never skated in a real bout before, to have that incredible experience... Some how, some way...I promise... -Shamus
