Wednesday, April 13th, 2011Twin Cities Terrors vs Rock City Riot
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011After putting many bouts on my calendar and subsequently missing them, I finally got to see some men’s roller derby. The TC Terrors, the all-star team for the local men’s derby league had a double-header with the Supernovas, the all-star team for the North Star Roller Girls at the Terrordome (the St. Paul Armory).
Varying opinions on whether men should be seen in derby skinz aside, men’s derby is a fair bit different than women’s. A bigger spectacle, more brute force, bigger crashes, less finesse. It was fun to watch and especially fun to see right after the women, for direct comparison, but my heart will always belong to women’s derby.
Twin Cities Junior Roller Derby Bout/Bash
Friday, January 14th, 2011The Twin Cities Junior Roller Derby had a Whiplash Masquerade Bash fundraiser last weekend at the Wooddale Fun Zone (did not even know the town I went to high school in had a roller rink). Part of the afternoon featured a league bout. It was pretty much awesome. These girls (and guys!) kick butt.
