Roller Derby Season is almost here!
I must admit, I was turned on by the sport after seeing the 2009 film "Whip It", directed by Drew Barrymore. Little did I know at the time that roller derby was alive in San Diego! And, why wouldn't it be! We started attending derby and I realized I had found my spectator sport and as the movie suggested, it's much like finding your tribe!
I was never the athletic type, yoga and tai chi and hitting the hot tub is more my speed but get me to a roller derby and I'm ready for some action! Teamwork to empowerment! A great esteem builder! Knee high socks and helmets! Retro fashion at its finest! And, the names the girls come up with are beyond creative; Tripsy Gypsy, Sugar n' Spite, or Bat Hit Crazy! Better than a horse race any day!
Season tickets average less than $10 per person per game! You can train to be a debt girl too ( 8 week program). Get ready to derby as a spectator or participant! I'll be there to cheer you on either way! read more
