Classic Roller Derby in Arizona

Michi-chan Sports is currently working on a project to retrieve footage that was recorded by Michi-chan Roller Sports Productions between 2007~2010. This footage is stored on nearly 300 CD ROMs. Unfortunately, CD ROMs don’t always travel long and stand the test of time. While we have been successful getting full events recovered, some are going to need a little more work to get working right. Otherwise, we will only have partial events.

This list is in the progress of being built. More will be added!
