It’s Here! The Fresh New Planet On Wheels

Finally, it’s here!

We’ve been slaving away for weeks on this one.                              

P.O.W. has been up and running strong for 5 years now and we haven’t changed a thing since the beginning. You know what they say, “If it aint broke, dont fix it.”

The only problem is, we got bored. So we started sketching and tinkering around with stuff. Then we started brainstorming with other friends, which made us want to tinker around some more. Before we knew it, an all out redesign of P.O.W. was born.

With a fresh new look and easier navigation, we are very proud of our new creation, and we know that your Planet On Wheels experience is going to be 100x better.

We Admit It… We Screwed UP.

Ok we admit it, we screwed up.

It’s been brought to our attention, from loyal community members like you, that we’re going about this contest thing all wrong.

And you know what? WE AGREE.

THE BUGS

• We never actually defined what makes up the Perfect Derby Girl
• We (meaning the actual company) are not league members, so who are we to pick the winners.
• We’ve ended up looking like sexist jackasses and appealing mostly to the dudes who just want to see yet another girl in fishnets, and not to you, the Roller Derby World.

SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

We’ve decided to change a few things around and we hope that you’ll forgive us for the rubbish above.

Lets define what the Perfect Derby Girl is, shall we -

The perfect derby girl is the whole package. She has pride in herself and the team. She’s always willing to help you up and bust some skulls to get the point. She’s dedicated to the team and the sport and she’s always on the rink floor ready to go. This girl has got to have style and personality, nice or not.

CONGRATULATIONS! You’re a judge. That’s right, we’re leaving the judging up to you. We figured, who better to pick the winners than you, the community. Makes sense (sorry we were so blind to the obvious before).

HERE’S HOW THE JUDGING WILL WORK

Contestants will enter the same way as before and the rules are same too. You can read them here. We did add one more rule.

As for the judging…

On September 1st we will post all of the contestants for you to vote.

All voting will end at midnight on September 2nd. We’ll count the votes and announce the lucky ladies on the 3rd.

You can vote via Twitter, email, and in the comments of the voting post.

WITH ALL THAT SAID

For all of you that have already sent in your pics, THANKS. You don’t have to worry. Your still in the contest and we’ve made a note that you entered before we changed any rules. YOUR SAFE

We want to thank those of you, like Stephanie, that gave us comments and ideas to make this whole thing a much better contest than we could have imagined.

Good Luck!
