The Denver Roller Dolls’ B team, Bruising Altitude, aims to stay undefeated in a six bout winning streak in their upcoming bout against the Silicon Valley Roller Girls' B team, the KillaBytes, on June 12th, 2010.
After an undefeated 2009 season, Bruising Altitude started their 2010 season strong against the O-Town Derby Dames of Ogden, Utah, with a commanding 282 to 46 win in May. Bruising Altitude’s roster contains a blend of veteran and rookie skaters, each of whom must earn her spot on the roster for each bout. Bruising Altitude has demonstrated the “Denver-style” pack play and skillful pack-awareness made famous by Denver’s all-star Mile High Club at WFTDA Nationals last year. Bruising Altitude has dominated defensively and has been able to build commanding leads against other teams. This has allowed them to pull talented blockers into the jammer rotation with high scoring results.
The Silicon Valley Roller Girls’ B team, the KillaBytes, is a seasoned B team with a 5-2 record since their start in April of 2009. The KillaBytes’ most recent loss was to the San Diego Hard Corps in March 2010 by a narrow margin of 105 to 108, which came down to the final jam. The KillaBytes were trailing San Diego by 40 points in the beginning of the second half, but made a huge comeback and took the lead with top scorer Zootown Throwdown in the second to last jam. Bruising Altitude will need to contain jammers Zootown Throwndown, Catherine Beata Bones, and Cyntax to maintain their winning streak. The Bruising Altitude jammers will need to avoid experienced Silicon Valley blockers Feisty Irish, Knuckles De’Ville, sKooter O’vr, and Lizapalooza in the pack.—Geisha X
