Fresh Flyer! We regret distributing an earlier flyer that used AI artwork and are being more mindful of that moving forward. Show out and roll out in your public-friendly gear and join us for a night of skating, community, and fun! Meet your San Diego Bootblack, Leather, & Leather Bear contestants & make new friends to go around in circles with. Members of our local roller derby team will be on hand to help out to help those that are less experienced. This is also an interesting way to get bruises, ya know.... if you’re into that sort of thing.
