After the wild success of the LB Roller Derby’s first game (which drew over 2,000 fans), the girls are back at it tonight, as the defending champs, the Bixby Rollerettes, will square off against the undefeated 4th Street Retro Rollers.

This will be yet another fast paced competition on the league’s newbanked track. The banked track accelerates the speed of play making the sport even more thrilling for fans. With fun campy names like Evil Dawn Under and Percy Cute, Long Beach Roller Derby brings to the stage high production value and an athletic competition that never fails to entertain.
These women are athletes playing the competitive sport of modern roller derby; there is no choreography or predetermined outcomes. As Long Beach Roller Derby says, “Our game is real and our girls are local!”
On Friday the 13th, in addition the main attraction, fans will find a vendor village for shopping, a local band for the half time show, several food trucks, and a full bar with ID. This all ages event sells out so buy your tickets in advance. Grandstand Seats are available for $25 pre-sale and $30 at the door. They can be purchased online at LongBeachRollerDerby.com/tickets or at Moxi Roller Skate Shop, 2132 E. 4th Street, Long Beach CA, (562)439-6694.
