An unfortunate but timely reminder during warm-ups of the risks skaters take in the sport of roller derby set the tone for Saturday’s home bout hosted by the Gorge Roller Girls. After receiving a standing ovation as paramedics hoisted a Storm City Roller Girls skater into an awaiting ambulance with a broken leg, players from both teams did a quick gear check with referees before getting started with the bout.

A crowd of about 500 rallied in support of the Gorge’s first women’s roller derby team last week at Riverfront Park in The Dalles. The Gorge Roller Girls teams battled for glory in a “black vs. white” exhibition bout. Fans were treated to an intense neck-in-neck game, with the White Thrashers pulling ahead of the Black Betties by just 12 points at the end.
