Who are you rooting for, Rose City? With the
home season coming to a close this month, stakes are high. Since
January,
we've watched each bout come down to the wire.
The semi-finals and championship place our favorite teams
head to head for the title. It's anyone's guess
who will come out on top. If you need a little help deciding where to
place your bets,
check out our blog for a rundown of each of our
home
teams here. Or, weigh in on
our fan forum
page here.
The best part about season 5, dear Rose City
fans, is that it doesn't end on June 19th at the Championship. We've
packed in
twice as much bouting action this year! Come
back to the Oaks Park Hangar this summer for all-star bouts between the
Wheels of Justice, the Gotham Girls, Rat City,
and the Bay Area, and for Derby Daze, an entire weekend of derby fun.
Make sure to check out the newest addition to
our website,
featuring a skater of the month. Get to know Cher the Pain and Sol
Train!
