Regionals

We’re back from Western Regionals - it was an awesome time and it was great to see so many teams play!  Hopefully we had a chance to talk to you and if not, we will be at nationals in Portland selling the magazine.

Big huge thank you for Nottie A. Saiwant from the Bellingham Roller Betties and RollerCon booth for helping us out at both the Western and Eastern regional tournaments - she was awesome enough to help us with sales and getting the word out so if you see her, buy her a beer!

We want your photos!

We’re back from the madness that was RollerCon ‘08 and we are putting the finishing touches on our first issue, which will be out in September. If you were in Vegas, hopefully we got to talk with you or you picked up one of our postcards or buttons at the WFTDA and Sin City Skates booths!

For our first issue, we want your RollerCon picture submissions - anything from on skates training, workshops, scrimmages, challenge bouts, or even a little bit of partying here and there - if you have good high res shots, we want ‘em! Please send your submissions to photos@fiveonfivemag.com ASAP!

UPDATE: We don’t need Rollercon pics anymore - we are featuring submissions in issue 1 which has already printed.  If you still have some awesome pics you want to share with us in general, you can always send them to the above address.
