DERBY LOVE, IS NOT JUST WHAT YOU SAY IT'S WHAT YOU DO! Dustbowl Update: The 3rd annula Dustbowl invitational is bringing teams from Colorado, Utah, and all over California to Bakersfield. Twelve teams competing for the cash prize of $500 and braggind rights galore!. Flat track toller derby is the fastest growing sport in the world. Generally when we first talk about Roller Derby almost immediately someone says " I used to LOVE watching roller derby on TV! Is it like that?" Yes and no we say. The fast paced action, body checks, and whip assists are all still very much part of the game. However, flat track roller derby rules and the different physics of skating on a flat surface, versus a banked track, make the strategies and game play very different. Also, in its later years, televised roller derby was staged, like WWE-style wrestling. Today, flat track roller derby is a legitimate sport, and the hits, spills, booty shorts, broken bones and competition are 100% real. The host team is our very own Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) league, the Derby Revolution of Bakersfield. Team founder, Coach, Jammer, and Blocker Tonya "Tonka Toy" Warren, is a local celebrity. A graduate from BHS 1988. Her degree in Physical Education and Masters in Administration at Cal State University of Bakersfield. While attending she competed in softball with 2 National Championships and California MVP. Tonka has the experience with 6 full seasons of Roller Derby and a degree to back it up. Her coaching style on and off the track sets the words "There is no such thing as too competitive." The team is also lookiing for a building big enough to practice in and host bouts permanently. The Derby Revolution has an Adult team (18+ years of age to a pushing 40+) and the DRB Brats, the Jr's team (8-17 years of age) practicing two nights a week at the boys and girls club of Kern County. There will be a special entry team this year made from two Bakersfield Roller Derby teams. The Bakersfield Diamond Divas and The Derby Revolution to form Bakersfield Diamond Revolution.
