It's a little cheezy like WWF wrestling but entertaining! The chicks were much more athletic than the men and more fun too watch!

Our first time at a roller-derby. A Lot like Professional Wrestling on wheels. The skaters had an impressive level of athletic ability. It was entertaining watching the spectators get passionately involved (and vocal) just as if this was a real athletic contest. The crash-stunts and collision-stunts and staged arguments got a little repetitive so we left at half-time.

Description

Roller Derby has its roots in the Transcontinental Roller Derby in 1935, which simulated a cross-country roller skating race between teams of skaters. Over time, this race developed into the modern contact sport of Roller Derby. The San Francisco Bay Bombers are probably the most recognized team of the original Roller Derby franchises. The team name has been around since 1954, and today's San Francisco Bay Bombers are carrying on that legacy. They skate in the original Roller Derby style, fielding women and men skaters on each team alternating on the track. The playing field is a masonite banked track roughly the size of a basketball court, unlike many new leagues that skate on a flat surface.
