On April 19th, we went to the Kezar Pavillion to see the Bay City Bombers vs. the Brooklyn Red Devils. It was good, clean, cheap ($10 advance/$20 at the door) fun and something my mum would have enjoyed if I had been nice enough to invite her.
The old geezer, Number 13 of the Red Devils, did put on a good show pounding the Bombers every chance he got. He loved slaming into them but for some reason it seemed a bit phoney. It was what I imagine WWF must have been like at their beginning. The Coach/Manager even reminded me of McMann. Twice during the men's period the whole group would crash out on the track and Bomber's Number 40 would jump the whole pile.
Roller Derby is made up of eight 10 minute periods with a 15 minute half time during which you can meet the stars of Roller Derby. To score a jammer has to get around all the other roller skaters (blockers and pivoters). If you visit the Bay City Bombers site you can get schooled in the intristicts that is roller derby.
The only bad thing is that you'll have to wait until August 23 when the World Champion Bay City Bombers are back to play god knows who.
