Derby De MAYO a SUCCESS!

Six local area teams skated together in a mixed-team Double Header on Saturday, May 5th. Joining the Battle Born Derby Demons were skaters from the Nevada East Rollergirls, Reno Roller Girls, Sac City Rollers, Tahoe Derby Dames and Viva Roller Derby (from Chico). The teams had never skated together before, which proved both challenging and exciting for the players--and the audience.

The event comprised of two shorter bouts, with skaters wearing either black or white. The Black teams (Bench Managed by Death By Sparrow and Mary Maulher) from each bout reigned victorious.

Another special treat of the evening was the introduction of Men's Roller Derby (aka "Merby")! Because the sport of Men's Roller Derby is still new to the Reno area, the ten-minute exhibition featured two coed teams in a grand display of beauty, brawn and speed.

The next Home Bout of BBDD's sixth season will be on June 16th at the Rink on the River. Stay tuned for more info.
