Humboldt Roller Derby

This is some of the most fun on a date I’ve ever had. This is also some local feminist family fun. Local beer and merch on sale too. They have punk cheerleaders and a band. The loyal staff and fans are great. There are also themed dress up nights. They don’t play a lot of bouts, so come early, come often.

What a fun way to spend an evening! The energy is high, the people are wonderful, and the skaters are amazing. Last night was my second time, and I’m really impressed with our teams!

It is super fun to support the local home grown sporting events. I went one evening and got to root for Psycho Ward who had a great night jamming, Super fun, great crowd.

Humboldt Roller Derby is a ton of fun. The backstory on this league is great and what these women have accomplished is amazing, being that this is a rural area with a small general population.
The events offer a lot, such as a variety of food from different local vendors. They also serve local beer and share the profits with a different local non-​profit every bout.
The production, for redwood acres, is great. Good music, stage lighting, good referees, and of course the athletes are fun to watch.
Bang for the buck, Derby can’t be beat. Next time you have a chance be sure to get a couple of tickets and enjoy the ride!

Just saw that this had been reviewed and figured I may as well put a brief 2 cents in. Local events take place at the Redwood Acres Fairgrounds in Eureka. There are far worse ways to spend an evening than swilling beer and watching a bunch of badass women with amusing nicknames beat the crap out of each other on roller skates for an hour or so, all to a varied and amusing soundtrack.
I’d advise bringing friends, as it can get a little drawn-​out if you’re there by yourself, especially during double-​headers. I don’t think I’ll ever quite understand how the scoring works, but I guess the spectacle itself is more important to the average spectator.
There’s usually a crowd, so show up early (maybe 20 – 30 min) if you want to be sure to get good seats. Beer and basic concessions are available throughout. If you’ve never been, you’ve got to go see it at least once. The experience does not lack in the novelty department. Come on out and show your support for our local players!

Roller derby is a ton of fun! At only $ 13 a ticket this is well worth it!
