Rollerderby
20060930268
Yes. Roller derby is for real. And there is practice and technique and strategy. And the fans are stoked on their teams.
I showed up at the Rose City Rollers (note: that site crashes my FF everytime, must be the rad cursor) championship bout knowing nothing of the game nor the teams. Judging the teams on their banners alone, I was leaning towards backing the Heartless Heathers. However when the Guns N Rollers walked out with skates and guitar cases in tow, I quickly faltered on my allegiance – with names like Axl Blows, Itzo Easy and Paradise Kitty how could I not.
In addition to the derby action, the night also consisted of:
- A rather animated rundown of the rules for us newbies
- A performance by The Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers
- A Jimi Hendrix inspired national anthem which raised the lighters and horns of many in attendance
- A halftime show including the Sprockettes
Good, clean fun.

Skateboards and bikes are better at nights. 0 comments.
Not sure where, but I remember reading about them previously and ending up at that site (which works in Safari, by the way).
I gotta say the best name of all is Fire Crotch.
