About
If you love roller derby, you know that magic happens when rollergirls get together. Well, picture this: a few thousand rollergirls, guys and a handful of juniors from all over the world, all gathering in Las Vegas to share some stories, raise some hell and get their skate on. RollerCon ‘12 is the eighth annual “meeting of the wheels” and it really, really just gets better every single year.
New to roller derby? Seasoned and scarred veteran? Every skill level is welcome, and we’ve planned tons of events for everyone to enjoy! Of course, there’s also fun stuff for our beloved officials, productioneers and fans — we can’t leave them out of the fun!
The most surprising thing many people find out when the get to RollerCon is that Las Vegas is hot. Like 3rd rung of hell HOT. Our facilities are air conditioned! But the combo of hot, dry air outside and chilled, dry air inside can be hard on on people. Check out our tips and FAQs so you come prepared.
Before you ask, we’d have it somewhere (or -when) cooler, but then it wouldn’t be so cheap. And we polled you - you prefer cheap. So get ready for hot!
