Roller Girls

Yesterday we drove up to St. Paul (see below) to go to a Roller Derby Match.It was the Garda Belts vs. Dagger Dolls and then the Rockits vs. Atomic Bomb Shells. We all went for the Garda Belts and the Rockits. Both of our teams won! I still don't know if it's fake or not. It didn't look fake to me, but who knows. We went to the after party at O'Gara's pub afterward, but didn't stay too long.

"I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen, round and round, oh round and round. The meanest hunk o' woman that anybody ever seen, down in the arena. She was five foot six and two fifteen, a bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean...." (Jim Croce) WooHoo :)

Glad you enjoyed the bout and we hope you'll come back! It sounds like you had a good time and we definitely appreciated the huge crowd!

Rest assured, nothing's fake. We practice three days a week for 2 hours/practice and everything you see comes from hard work and dedication. Plus we're all volunteers! All the money goes back into the league to fund our space, insurance, and all our other business operations and what's left over is donated to charity.
