The Lowcountry Highrollers All-Stars are back at home and taking on the Carolina Hurticanes, the renowned powerhouse team schemed up by the twisted derby mind of Professor Lou Botomy. The Highrollers have heard the warnings, and have issued a challenge to the Hurticanes to do their worst.

This bout is also the home debut of our spunky, sassy junior derby league, the Holy City Chaos! Our little sisters will face off against Columbia Quad Squad’s Mini Derby team. The last time these teams met, the Chaos defeated the Minis in their own house, and they are ready to give their hometown fans a win.

We’ll have beer and music, plus fun for the kids all day and great raffle prizes. Check out the Charleston Jam Skaters halftime show, and keep the party going after the bout upstairs in our VIP lounge for $5.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the High School Injury Prevention Coalition (HSIPC), an organization that strives to influence and change unsafe driving behavior of high school students especially concerning their attitude about drinking, drug use while driving, speeding, distracted driving and seatbelt use.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $14 at the door, and kids under 10 are free! VIP tickets are also available for $40. Get your tickets online now at Brown Paper Tickets. Tickets will also be available soon at Hot Wheels Skating Center and East West Health Arts on James Island, Mama Q’s Kitchen on Johns Island, Red’s Ice House in Mount Pleasant, City Lights Coffee, Rogue Wave Surf Shop, and the Recovery Room downtown, the Tin Roof in West Ashley, EVO Pizzeria in Park Circle, or from your favorite rollergirl.

The winds start to blow on Saturday, May 26th as the Highrollers stand strong and defiant in the face of the storm. Doors open at 4:30PM, with the Chaos taking on the Minis at 5:00PM and the main event at 6:00PM.

On the Rink of Civil War – 5/6/12

The 2012 intraleague season kicks off with the reigning 2011 champions the Ashley Riverdolls taking on the Swamp Foxes. The last matchup of these teams was a neck-and-neck fight right down to the final jam.  The Riverdolls aim to keep their top spot, but the Swamp Foxes would love nothing more than some good old-fashioned revenge.

Now it’s time to choose your side – are you going to take to sea with our sassy sailors, or will you apply your warpaint and join the fight with our camouflaged commandos? If your heart is with those unruly Holy City Heartbreakers, the punk rockers there will be out supporting their derby sisters and just waiting for their chance to enter the fray.

This is the first of three interleague bouts of the season, and will be held at Hot Wheels Skating Center located at 1523 Folly Road on James Island.

It all goes down on Sunday, May 6th. Doors open at 6:00PM and the action kicks off at 6:30PM. Tickets are limited and only available at the door, so be sure to arrive on time so you aren’t left out of the fun.  Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids. We’ll have some baked goodies for sale for your snacking pleasure, and of course the derby action you love! We’ll keep the party going after the bout at The Roost in West Ashley!

Don’t miss the start of our intraleague season, as we stand on The Rink of Civil War!
