    Rose City Rollers ROCKS! we went to our first juniors bout (game) a few years ago.. had so much fun and were so inspired! my little kiddo took the initiative to find out that she could join when she turned 7..guess what she asked for on her 7th birthday?! to join RCR! She's been skating with Juniors for a couple of years and LOVES it. Coaches and staff are supportive and encouraging. There is sincere care for skaters' safety and progress. Scholarships and gear rentals are available! Bouts are so fun, we can't wait for the bout season to start up again!

    The entrance to excitement!!!

    Best time be ready to scream and loose your voice! You are in a big metal hanger with bleacher seating. There's porta potties outside and nicer clean mobile bathroom as well. Inside has a food stand with nachos, hot dogs, vegan wraps and dogs, paninis, pop, water, chips, candy and don't remember. They also have a booze booth with wine in a can, 2 town cider, and beers. All the vendors take cash only. There is also a merchandise booth for the playing roller derby teams. They take cards. The games are fast paced and so fun. They have helpers that go around answering questions and explaining the game and rules. The also always have 1/2 time games of some sort. They drag volunteers from the audience to participate and it's always a blast. This time it was musical chairs with the winner going up against 2 T-Rex. Yup. Sometimes they throw bread ot t-shirts at the audience. There's also always a raffle for a big basket worth a couple of hundred dollars worth of stuff. Tonight was $700. Tonight was The Break Neck Betties against the Heartless Heather's. The Betties are our team because our friend #8 Fleur D'e Lethal plays for them. It was a really close game! See fun pictures. The hanger is a big metal box. They do their best to control temperature by opening the door and fans. It is gets cold and hot dress accordingly. There is no internet connection. Well super spotty slow next to none.

    When I talk with fellow parents, Rose City's juniors is one of the few kids' programs I can recommend without reservation. With all volunteer coaches, the kids are learning an intense sport in an environment of safety, fun, and mutual respect. Also, the sport is so damn awesome! Within the Rose City league, my 10-year-old has excellent role models of all ages. Games are marvelous fun for kids and adults. As members, there are always lots of volunteer opportunities that build that sense of community even more. During Covid 19 shutdown, leadership has kept great communication and facilitated online events to keep both kids and adults connected. They've worked hard to make sure all members have access to gear for solo outdoor skating and the plan for slow return-to-skate at the hanger is clear, gradual, and following the highest safety measures with a close eye on the emerging science and local stats. This makes our family feel secure.

    Wow! Just had a great night at Portland Expo Center watching the Rose City Roller's Semi Final Championship! I've seen Roller Derby on TV, but seeing it in person is way cool. The players are awesome, exciting and much fun to watch. The action, almost non-stop. The place was packed but we didn't see any crowd problems. Great entertainment between play included, The Last Regiment of Syncopated Drummers and The Wanderlust Circus. There was even a brief Michael Jackson tribute. These extra touches really make this a fantastic over-the-top event, there are some brains behind this show. See more about Wanderlust Circus here: http://www.wanderlustcircus.com This is a great production... The announcers/emcees, the teams, "Miss Behave" the score presenter, the referees and all those behind the scenes. Great job!

    These girls ROCK!! They've been around since 2004 when a group of ladies decided to start a RD league in Portland. Now they have four local teams, one all-star traveling team and a "fresh meat" team for those of us who aren't ready to get whooped! Check it out ... rosecityrollers.com

    DragonSports USA - Portland Dragon Boat Race

    Fuhgetabout the gym... Rock the boat, baby!…read more Most Portlanders, if they know anything about dragon boats, know the big Portland/Kaohsiung Rose Festival races, with the opulent, dragon-headed boats, the flag catching and the sprawling, boisterous crowds. But all that happens between April and June. And then *poof* it's all over and the heavy Taiwanese boats are stashed away beneath the Hi-Hat Restaurant for another year. The real juice of Portland's dragon boating milieu -- where teams train year-round and often go to national and world championships -- is the paddler-run DragonSports USA. A single dragon boat club has maybe 25 or 30 members and can't afford to buy, moor or maintain the 12-meter craft. So DragonSports USA was formed to provide all of Portland with access to sleek Hong Kong-stye dragon boats for recreational and team uses. And since 1997 they've been right downtown at Riverplace, where everybody can get to them. What really makes DragonSports rock is the level of volunteer commitment. With 8 boats and 2 races each year to run, an undertaking like this could cost a bundle. But when it's time to move a boat or organize a competition, it's all hands on deck. Because there isn't a big staff to support (just the ever-heroic Ayla) a lifetime membership in DragonSports costs $40 and then a team rental for a 22 -person boat is $22 per hour. Individuals can paddle at open practices for -- get this -- $25 per quarter. Yes, $40 up front and $100 per year. Take that to your gym and see if they'll match the price. And even if they do, when did you ever see people leaving spin class with the kind of goofy grins you find on those soggy people trodding up the boat ramp at Riverplace?

    From the owner: DragonSports USA is a non-profit dragon boat paddling club located in Portland, Oregon.read more
