Experience the best of grass roots sports and community as the skaters of Humboldt Roller Derby face off against regional and national rivals to claim the glory of victory for the North Coast. You won't want to miss out on these full nights of hard-hitting, swift-skating, and breathtaking action.

Thrilling for the whole family. Exciting for a first date. Derby offers a trackside seat for the fastest growing sport in America. Derby combines athletics, an energetic announcer, food, beer, a live band and an enthusiastic crowd. The “Dirty Derby Blowhards” provide the brass band sounds to keep the night lively. Fans sporting team colors and vibrant signs chant the names of their favorite skaters. The announcer adds color as he calls all the shots on the flat track. Most important is the athleticism, endurance, and commitment of the skaters. These hard-working track stars have thrust Humboldt into the national spotlight as members of WFTDA, the Women's Flat Track Derby Association.

The action is fast paced and constant. Bouts are comprised of two minute “jams” where each team goes all out to assist their point scorer and to thwart the hopes of their opponents. Aggressive but fair play in a strategic battle of bodies and ambition leaves it all on the track for you to watch. If you are looking for a fun community event to enjoy, it doesn't get much better than Humboldt Roller Derby. Visit their website for bout dates and times or to learn more.
