This was an event I am not sure I would have ever heard about were it not for my Goldstar weekly email, but I'm glad I did. It was a true experience of the unusual, and we all had a great time!Written on Aug 20 2007

This event is a lot of fun if you'd like to experience the WWF meets a roller rink! My husband and I had a blast and would definitely go again. We took our 2 year old who didnt really appreciate it, but liked the cheering ...Written on Aug 20 2007

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 is 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.
