My friends and I had a HUGE time at the Roller Derby on Saturday.
Highly recommend this sporting event to everyone. Great skills and
tactics are employed as opposing teams try to block the nominated point
scorers from lapping the circuit.
The event was extremely well organized. I've never seen comedy fire twirling before, and commend the Roller Derby for exploring new genres of entertainment. I came back from grabbing a Turkish pide out in the fore court to find that a duo of fire wranglers had set fire to the stadium floor. An audience member ventured out into no-mans-land (spectators are throw out of the venue if they venture out onto the ring) to help squelch the blaze.
Happy to say that the team I decided to support (the SAS or 'Screaming assault sirens') sight unseen 'wiped the lemon fresh floor' with their opponents (the concrete floor had been doused with lemonade to add a bit o grip for the skaters on the painted concrete floor).
Fine match, and was very impressed with the commitment to winning I saw sparkling in the eyes of both teams. My friends and I were all stunned at the amount of 'argy bargy' going down, and hope both teams mend in time for their next bouts (gotta give a HUGE thumbs up to the SAS girls who were sliding into the penalty box at speed on their knees ;-)
