Eric and I had the pleasure of attending the Roller Derby this weekend as his parents took the kids for the night and our friends met us up there. All I can say is AWESOME! If you live in the Atlanta area, I highly suggest setting aside a few hours each month to see these local girls in action. Not only are they totally bad ass but they are extremely good at what they do. One of the friends that went with us is in the process of training for the next try out. After watching the strength these girls had to roll around the rinkl for over an hour, all the while being body checked and rolled over, I was in awe. In a culture obsessed with skinny = healthy, it’s nice to see a sport where women of all ages, sizes, shapes and colors can throw down together competitively. Check it out here: Dirty South Derby. Oh, and the best part? It’s BYOB??!!
