The Terminal City Rollergirls will be hosting the launch party for Sad Mag issue four on Wednesday, August 4! Check out this sneak peek at the latest issue, with an article from Ana Maria Kresina (AKA Risquee Biznatch).

When I square up on the jammer line waiting for the double whistle, I am conscious of the fans screaming in the stands, but more so, I am aware of what my body is about to do for me. As the momentum of the oval track pushes me outward and my feet slide within my tightly tied roller-skates, I can feel my left quad muscle supporting my body weight as I push hard with my right foot. I bite down on my mouthguard, and I feel sweat trickling down the side of my face. All I can think about is how great it feels to skate.
