Hard Hitting and Easy Riding
Oklahoma City, OK, February 17, 2008 – With helmets fastened and mouth guards secure, Tornado Alley Roller Girls (TARG) earned their skate legs this past weekend at the OKC Farmer’s Market. To a crowd packed with returning fans and first timers, OKC’s hometown rollergirls skated up a storm. But these hard-hitting gals don’t have time to wait for the dust to settle before they lace their skates back up again.
The Valkyrie Vixens struggled for a victory over Cell Block 9 on Sunday with a final score of 93 to 72. The two teams will face-off again during exhibition bouts this weekend at the Eleventh Annual Oklahoma Motorcycle Show. The bouts will be held on Saturday February, 23 at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm at the State Fair Park in the Modern Living Building.
This weekend will be another great opportunity for new fans to embrace the fast paced sport of roller derby. “I’ve seen derby on TV but seeing the real thing is pretty impressive. My brother and I have made plans to go to the skating rink and practice. There are some really athletic girls skating out there and I would love to be able to skate like them,” says Courtney Bales after seeing TARG in action for the first time on Sunday.
The Oklahoma City Motorcycle Show is held at The State Fair Park, in Oklahoma City. The park is located at 500 Land Rush Drive, near the intersection of 10th Street and I-44, in downtown Oklahoma City. The Show is held indoors in a heated and air conditioned building.
