The Rose City Rollers are bringing the pain all weekend long! On Friday, the Rollers take on Seattle Tilted Thunder Rail Birds, and on Saturday there will be a battle of the sexes between the Rose City Rollers and the Portland Men’s Roller Derby!

VIOLENCE! Do it for van Gogh baby.
I’ve always wanted to go see the Derby! *crossing my fingers*
It will great to see the match up close as opposed to volunteering and hoping for a good spot inside. Good luck to all. No matter what, it will be a great night of fun.
I have never been! I have an old rooomate that joined the Betties and I haven’t seen her in a few years. I would love to see how the game is played while watching live.
Love love love roller derby! Please pick me.
We have never seen roller derby live! Would love to take the new blended family to see this! I think I’d be a hit! no pun intended….
please, I never have a summer day off, this would be the icing on that cake
I’d want too see The Rose City Rollers vs. The Portland Men’s Roller Derby to say I actually saw some girls beat-up some guys on roller skates! It’d be an experience!
I love watching roller derby! Those men and women fighting for their teams are so fun to watch!
Would love to go to the Friday bout. Have never been to a bout at the hangar and what a better bout to go see than Portland vs Seattle!
Pick me!!! I would love to watch some roller derby!!
Would love tickets to the fri match. My wife and I have never been and she has been dying to se a roller derby match.
We would love to see roller derby live. We have been wanting to attend either derby match.
Oh man do I want to see my first ever Roller Derby match live and in person! I’ve heard the stories, I’ve heard the rumors, but I want to see the truth!! Does Portland really have the best matches out there?? I’ve been told we have great teams in this lovely city of ours, please let me go see them live!!
I’d love to go to the Saturday bout with my girlfriend! Women v. Men?!?! Game on, boyfriend! Go RCR!
I love ROLLER DERBY!!! I want to go!!!
Roll those tickets my way!
I want to attend the Friday night bout. I’ve been a fan of roller derby for a few years now, so much so that I’ve come up with my own roller derby name. It’s Malice in Wonderland. I think that’s clever enough to earn me free tickets to the bout.
SoulfearicAcid parties!
Just like the Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page movie….except live. So even better.
My girl would kill to be able to roll with these girls but just had injections in her back and sergury to follow.
I want to roll in the deep please…
I’d love to win tickets to the Sat. bout!
What better way to show my 14-year-old granddaughter about Girl Power than to walk over the Sellwood Park hill, down to Oaks Park and see the Boys vs. Girls event? Besides, this 62-year-old woman has been wanting to see Rose City Rollers for years, so what better time than now?
I have been 1 one roller derby and loved it, I would love to go to this
I would love to win for this Saturday to escape the heat or the 25th to just escape!
Haven’t been yet!!
It would be awesome to see some raw woman power!
Cuz I’m a roller derby virgin, please break my cherry!
Punk rock ass kicking mayhem, female empowerment, in solidarity with those women who stand up for themselves — can’t miss this.
Love the derby! It’s been a couple years since I went last.
Haven’t been to the derby for a few years! That’s what happens when you have a kid… but she’s six now, and probably old enough to start dreaming of smashin’ in some heads!
WOW! I want to win this because
ROLLER DERBY ROCKS!
I’ve ONLY seen live roller derby in alabama!
MY KID IS FREE!
My younger, more punk-rock alter ego is named Raucous Ruby. She’s a roller derby girl. In actuality, I’m a creative smartypants with a desk job and a young kid. The best part of winning tickets to this weekend’s battle is seeing first-hand what my parents were saving me from when they didn’t get me pro derby skates for my 16th birthday. The second best part of winning tickets is having cash the pay the babysitter.
what a bunch of fun!! Would love to see this one, and treat that sweet old guy of mine to a great evening of chick madness. Please. thx.
I’ve never seen male roller girls before. Hopefully they’ll be wearing fishnets ;) I’d love tickets for the boys vs girls bout on Saturday!
Roll me, baby!
I’ve been wanting to go!
hi, I remember watching these matches in the old days. Before we had a color tv. I remember thinking the refs were made to look foolish. I hope that’s better now. Fairness will bring new fans!!
Im a single parent of 2 (1 boy and 1 girl) after losing my job and our home a few months back. we finaly caught a break and I stated sa new job this week. I think they would love to go see the battle of the sexes. They can take a night off of their own sibling battles :) weve never been to a roller derby. Sounds fun
Please! I have never seen a bout and I’ve always wanted to cheer on our roller derby gals!
Loooove derby!
Roller derby up close and personal! Sounds like fun!
Definitely 8/3, women against girls is the only way to go!
Can I win tickets, please?
you could send others, you could send yourself…but you can’t send your other-self. exitential quandary or clear road map to steadycat? you decide, but hurry: free will is an illusion, and I really need to go….
My kids would love me more if I treated them to another awesome night at the roller derby on 10/19/2012. My 12yeae olddaughter Kaitlyn cant wait until she is old enough to play for you guys!
My sister is visiting from Cali for the first time and I’d love to take her to her first roller derby and show her some good Pdx fun. 8/3 would be great.
I would love to go and take my wife Saturday night! Going to a roller derby is on our “things to do now that we’re officially Portlanders” list and we haven’t yet checked that one off! Pick us! :)
Myself and 4 other Derby NSO’s from frigid Astoria to sultry Portland for the weekend to bask in all things that make derby and PDX awsome. We’re training hard all weekend to help support our Shangheied Roller Dolls to put on their first public bout 8/19/12!
Care to make our night in the town a little more special with some sweet passes to the show?
LOVE RCR! Really wish I had a healthy knee so I could try out!
I wanna see a bunch of bad ass girls looking sexy on skates!
Definitely want to see Boys v Girls bout. Girls are gonna kick butt! Tough ladies!
I’d love to win tickets to see the babes kick some butt on Saturday night.
derby is so wicked cool, friday night bout would be awesome!
Dear friends at pdx pipeline,
I have friends here visiting from Phoenix this weekend and I am trying to convince them how amazing our city is. (not a difficult task)I am hoping they will move here soon. We used to frequent roller derbies back in the day in Tucson and central Phoenix. It would be a great way to reconnect with old friends and show off Portland’s “it” factor. Thanks for considering me. Does The possibility of 4 tickets exist? We’ll see ;)
I have never been to a mens derby before, only female. I think it’d be pretty killer to see them circling around in they tight clothes pushing each other, pick me.
I’ve never been to roller derby ! It sounds fun!! I’d love to go :) send me, send me!
Thanks!
I didn’t say which bout!!!
I’d go to either one, since it’s my first time I’m sure I’ll dig either one!!
Thanks!
Love, love, love Roller Derby and RCR. Pick me, pick me!!!
would love to take a visiting East Coast friend to this!!
I feel like the coolest kid in town when I’m at a RCR bout…
Amazing! I would love to go!
Somehow I’ve never been to the Roller Derby! My partner and I simply must correct this ASAP!!
if it’s not too late i’d like to place my banana peel atop the garbage pile of pleas….
