Columbia Pride!

Posted on by

Recently, the roller derby community in Columbia including the Carolina Wreckingballs participated in the Gay Pride Parade. We had a blast and recommend everyone coming out for the support of Pride! We thought we’d be a little different than having a flashy float or sweet dance routine, so we had the balls pull a truck as our showcased attraction. (no ropes were hurt in the making of the event)
Thanks to everyone who came out and showed your support for the balls as well as Pride. We hope to see you all next year!

You heard right. The balls have sweat, bled, bruised, and broken there way to the next level of achievement. As of July 23, 2012, your Carolina Wreckngballs are now nationally recognized as MRDA (Men’s Roller Derby Association) That’s a pretty friggin’ big deal! This now allows us to be ranked among other leagues.

Along with our initiation were: Arizona Men’s Derby, Deep Valley Belligerents, Green Bay Smackers, and Tampa Bay Men’s Roller Derby. Congrats to those fellows as well!

This is great because MRDA has increased to 25 leagues! Moving on up!. . Too soon?

Post-Tampa Game

The Carolina Wreckingballs have battled the Tampa Men’s Roller Derby League,  and have come up wanting.  Though we did not win, we learned a vast amount about ourselves, our opponents, and the nature of the sport.  We Love Tampa Men’s Roller Derby League, and we all hope to bout them again in the future.  Til then, though, we look toward March 24th:  collision with Collision.  We love you Mist Her, but you are going down.
