The extremely awesome Twin City Derby Girls are hosting roller derby tryouts next month. I’m putting on a helmet and wearing a mouthguard just to type this information.
From the release:

Cost: $4 for speed skates/gear rental (if needed).
Safety: Skateland has elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards and helmets. Everyone trying out MUST bring their own mouthguard (available for $2-$3 at most retail stores like Walmart, Meijer, etc.). It is also strongly recommended that you bring your own helmet (a bike helmet works just fine).
