Roller derby fans are in for a serious treat this November when the brand new, banked track Roller Derby Xtreme (RDX) elite series crashes arenas across Australia.
Fierce and feisty rivals the LA Derby Dolls and New York Gotham Girl’s Roller Derby will be joined by a number of hand-picked Australian skaters to battle it out on the classic banked track - which has not been seen in Australian roller derby for almost 30 years.
American roller derby pioneer Demolicious described the series as a dream come true; "We have been waiting for someone to have the vision to create a touring tournament uniting roller girls from all over the world," she said.
The RDX series is rolling into Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle, Brisbane and Gold Coast in November.
Tickets go on sale Monday, September 10 through Ticketek.
