Something I love about derby is the way a serious sport can incorporate a sense of humor and a sense of fun. Much of this comes from the heritage of derby. In its rebirth, derby may have shed the fighting and fixed outcomes, but derby maintains an element of show from skater names to the uniforms and mascots.
Houston Roller Derby has a fabulous sense of that balance. We fight to stay high in our region's rankings with an eye on Nationals every year. And yet...Houston is not above a good old-fashioned dance-off. Here are two video clips from this weekend taken from the stands (by HRD skater Shocker Zulu) as Houston shows off that great sense of fun and camaraderie.
