If you think that Roller Derby has gone the way of bell bottoms and bad disco, you are SO wrong. Well, you were right, but NOW you're wrong.

That's because, after its heyday in the 1950s and '60s, roller derby faltered and finally collapsed altogether. Now it's back, on a flat instead of a banked track. And Sacramento has its own team, the all-female, full-contact Sacred City Derby Girls. Their 2009 season starts Saturday at Roller King on Riverside Avenue in Roseville. The rollers hit the track at 8 p.m.

With players sporting handles such as Belle Dozer, Brawllen Angel, Frita Bandita, Rosey Knuckles and Meg A. Mayhem, these ladies mean business. As the only officially-sanctioned area members of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the team was founded in 2006 and plays a number of matches during the course of the year, traveling all over the western states to compete.

The home bouts have been drawing as many as 1000 people per, and this Saturday's show, the season opener against the O.C. Roller Girls from Orange County, should be no exception. Tickets are $10 in advance and $13 at door, kids six and under free. Tickets are available at The Beat, American Grafifti and The Limelight, or online at Brown Paper Tickets.

For more information, you can visit the team's website or call 888-588-7234.

The team is also holding tryouts on Feb. 15 at Roller King in Roseville. "We're looking for a few good girls," says the team's information phone.
