Tony Nelson Photography- MN Rollergirls Pictures
We went to see the MN Roller Girls last night at the Roy Wilkins auditorium. This was the largest crowd they'd ever had- over 3000 people if the announcer is to be believed. The lines for beer and the bathroom were huge. I don't think they expected the attendance to skyrocket.
What a great time! This sport has something for everybody- chicks kicking ass, PBR tallboys, strategery, action, fights, and athletic women with nice legs, tattoos, fishnet stockings, and short skirts mooning the crowd. Hallelujah!
From the website:
The Minnesota RollerGirls are part of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), a national governing body for female-only, skater-owned, flat-track roller derby leagues. The Minnesota RollerGirls league was founded by the Donnelly sisters in August 2004 and has grown from 6 original members to a current roster of 80 skaters, 8 referees and coaches, and countless volunteers. All participants are unpaid amateurs and the league provides insurance coverage for practices and bouts.
The next bout is February 19th in St. Cloud. ROAD TRIP!!!
