Roller Derby - Get Training!
So you wanna be a roller girl? Better get training now!
Watch out Grimy Knickers, outta my way Brick Shithouse! Coconut Rough, I got you in my sights. Three weeks of derby initiation involving high speed stacks, endurance tests and one sore butt would give anyone a potty mouth. Each week brings new levels of pain and blood, sweat and tears (it's the new joy) but also a great appreciation for this league of skating ladies.

About
FiveThousand is a subcultural guide to Adelaide, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Adelaide writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FiveThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
