Reason #39 Why I Love Muskegon:

ROLLER DERBY BABY!!!!

Saturday, February 13 the Skee Town Skirtz are taking on the Flint City Derby Girls!

From 1961-75 Roller Derby made its way as a rough n tumble sport and then again came back for one season (1989-90). The Roller Games I remember was televised with a figure 8 track, Wall of Death, and an alligator pit (See the Roller Games video).

With team names like: the T-Birds, Maniacs, Vandals, and Rockers, roller derby was always about attitude, collisions, and entertainment.

Come support our local girls: "Tamara Hurtsworse", "Brat Michaels", "Concussion Muffin" and others.

We're bringing the kids (under 10 are free) and fully expecting that Lilly's experience will result in her setting some new life goals.

If you were a roller derby skater, what would your "nickname" be?
