TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls is an Austin Texas based all-female banked-track roller derby league. Founded in 2001, TXRD is one of several leagues considered responsible for the modern roller derby revival. It is skater owned and operated.
Notably, TXRD is the only banked-track league to allow both fighting and a penalty wheel. Both are real and unscripted. While the level of athleticism has increased since the league's development, entertaining the fans is also a priority, and TXRD provides this in a way unique to their league and to the Keep Austin Weird, do-it-yourself sensibility with which it was founded.
