I love roller derby. I failed miserably at being a roller girl (broken tail bone, rolled ankle, shin splits…you name it) I decided to become another enthusiastic and less likely to frequent the ER fan. Send me to a bout with my camera and I’m in my glory. Oh, and there’s beer. Heaven.

First bout was Providence’s Killah Beez vs New Hampshire’s Skate Free or Die. The Beez crushed NH with 150 points to their 50. 100 point win? Pretty awesome, Beez! No wonder I was drunk by halftime.

Some favorites:

Next up was the Providence all-star team the Rhode Island Riveters vs Detroit, sadly for the home team…Detroit cleaned up.  End score: Detroit 149, Providece 69. Some favorites:

This one hurts to look at, Crazy Dukes took a mean hit!

I’ll be at the championship bout (The Old Money Honeys vs The Rats) on September 25th, keep an eye out for pictures! For more info on Providence Roller Derby head here.
