Like to see a peggasis

Ask, and ye shall receive. (I'm surprised no one's made a gif of this yet, actually..)

The interesting thing to me about the Pegassist is that it's basically an assisted waltz jump with no speed. Jammers can theoretically land this without blocker intervention (see: Arizona), but having the blocker assist makes it that much more powerful.WTDA.tv's excerpt of the Pegassist, from Rose vs Gotham, ECDX 2012

The Pegassist: A whip assist over the jam line and around opposing blockers. To whip the jammer out of bounds and back in without making contact with the floor.

We're going to be starting themed days to show how we use our other social media sites. Our YouTube page is a little bare right now, but we will be growing it this year. Until then, enjoy our FAVORITE VIDEO FRIDAY, which will include a favorite video (clever name, eh?) we saw or made that week. This week, hold on to your knee pads for one of the coolest roller derby moves: the Pegassist!
