And now, derby fans, a bit of proof that Denver kicks ass at roller derby, courtesy of a Derby News Network live blog of the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls‘ slaughter bout against the Texas Rollergirls this past Sunday:
Joe Mama: that was a monster jam for RMRG
LJ: RMRG 31 TXRD 17
Joe Mama: Timeout TX; time to staunch the bleeding of that last jam..
The Rollergirls went on to hand higher-ranked Texas its biggest loss ever: 64 to 163.
The day before, Denver’s other derby team, the Denver Roller Dolls, also beat Texas. The score was 112 to 130 in a close bout that Derby News Network commentator Joe Mama called “crazytown.”
The twin victories could very well shake up the Derby News Network Power Rankings, which celebrate the top twenty-five derby teams in the nation. Before this weekend, Texas — where modern flat-track roller derby was born in 2000 — was ranked No. 3, the Denver Rollers Dolls were ranked No. 4 and the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls were No. 5. Here’s betting the badasses from Denver climb the ranks. Watch your back, New York!
