2 reviews for Roller King
Our simple little trek to the Roller Derby (fuk YEAH) turned out to be quite the adventure.
We started said pilgrimage at around 3:30. It was supposed to be 3, but I was late picking everyone up. Anyways, it was then discovered that I forgot junk at home, so I had to go back. At around 4:14, we finally hot the Bay Bridge & we on our way!
Fast forward past a hundred wrong turns, gas station coffee & the satellite radio breaking...we finally made it to Roseville....FOUR HOURS LATER!!!
We arrived at the Roller Derby just in the nick of time. Upon walking into this place, it occurred to me that I had stepped back in time. The smells, the sights, the clientle - everything was exactly how I left it in the 80's - right down to the gnarly acrylic nailed ladies with their french manicures (made "punk rock" by tipping them black??!!).
The Roller Derby was RAD & the rink was even more rad for hosting such an event. The only reason it did not get 5 stars from me was because it was in Roseville...bleck.
This rink is where the Sacred City Derby Girls hold practice and home bouts. It can hold about 1000 spectators and has a lot of good viewing spots. The decor doesn't look like it's changed much since the 70s, which actually works well.
