Hell Marys at the 2012 Season Opener of the Texas RollergirlsFlat track roller derby was invented in Austin, so you better believe that the Texas Rollergirls are experts. You know who else is an expert? Austinot Eric Highland.

Well, at least that’s what he’d like you to believe. The reality is that Eric has never been to a bout before, but he’s going to get his chance tomorrow night when we watch the Texas Rollergirls at the Austin Convention Center. (Click HERE for details on that.)

This week’s episode of the Austinot Podcast is all about the Texas Rollergirls and the sport of flat track derby. Eric, a self-proclaimed roller derby virgin, explains the intricacies of the game as well as he can. Personally, I’m hoping you can comment and fill in some of the holes for him…I mean, us…so that we can have a great experience tomorrow night.

Hope you’ll join us!

Austinot Brittany asks:
Based on our podcast episode, what is the most important thing about roller derby that we don’t know yet?

Oh – and one thing more that you have to learn… when supporting the Hell Marys in the 2nd bout – at 7:30 – watch for us doing the PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH ARROW! It’s easy and a must-know for anyone coming to support the coolest team in derby! 😉

For a roller derby virgin, it sure sounds like you’ve been around the track a time or two.
