Ann Arbor Derby Dimes

Like most Ann Arborites, I thought Lilith Fair on Ice was as good as it gets. No, my friend, it is not. What do you get when you combine really coordinated group of women in close quarters with a worthy rival faction (who are certainly strong enough for a man but made for a woman) and a sense of electricity in the air that only comes about when two foes square off? If shivs are involved, you get Fox’s Greatest Lady Prison Yard Fights V.3 — ‘This time it’s purse-​onal’. If skates are involved, you get the family-​friendly good time that is an Ann Arbor Derby Dimes bout. Whether you are going to A2D2 with your kids to discourage traditional misogynistic gender roles or you are going there with some friends to put some pep in your step before heading out on the town for the evening. It’s always a good call.
When playing in Buhr Park they usually have a cart vendor (frequently one of Mark’s Carts) that offers at least one veggie item, so you can nosh on a tempeh burger while you take in the battle royal. Sides of lady musk and bruised gluteus maximus are always complimentary.
What would make it better? Beer. Once they figure out how to sell beer tickets and trade those tickets for beer, I’ll be in the arms of the angels.

A classy group of ladies who put on one hell of a show!!! Check them out!

The Ann Arbor Derby Dimes have an AWESOME Referee Crew. You should come to bouts just to see the Zebra’s.

Real, strong, athletic all women’s flat track roller derby in Ann Arbor! Family friendly fun for reals, but if you don’t have kidlets, sit trackside for the best view of the action.
Buhr Park is a great place to hang during the summer and The A2D2 Mint is a perfect place to watch the Dimes get made over the winter ;)
