Roller Derby: Whip it good!

Have you ever seen the movie Whip it? Its all about Roller Derby, and apparently that is what this was like? I haven't seen the movie but I am pretty sure it is awesome because well, Roller Derby is definitely that.

A group of friends and I went to the Horden Pavilion in Sydney to watch our home team the Sydney Assassins in all their fishnet glory in a Fiesta themed battle.

Oh yes, that's right the fiesta themed match even had a Mariachi band playing on the sidelines. How could you not?!

It took me a while to understand what was going on with the game, but once I figured it out, its easy to get into. And when the ladies on the team have names like: Bitchy N Scratchy, Dizzy Bordon, Trippy Longstockings, and Haterade, how can you resist cheering them on? Plus their half-time show involved an amazingly athletic pole dancer! As if I hadn't seen enough, Roller Derby had to top it all.

To finish the package, this is the first time in Australia that I have seen Budweiser for sale...Now if that's not a trashy combination I am not sure what is?!

And how else can you end a night of Fiesta Roller Derby than with Margaritas?! Game, Set, Match, or whatever Roller Derby phrase there is!
