Watch female roller derby in Hawaii Kai

The all-female Pacific Roller Derby gets skating again with the Crazy 808s taking on the Villains.

The 808s recently annihilated the Garden Island Renegade Rollerz from Kauai, beating them on their home turf by a final score of 240 to 35.

The Villains, led by co-captains BeatHer Bailey and Collideascope, lost to the Mischievils 130 to 102 in their season opener last month.

Fans are encouraged to bring beach chairs for comfort, and also are invited to support PRD's All-Star Team as they prepare for their second mainland appearance at the Dust Devil Tournament in Tucson, Ariz., later this month. The league is hosting various fundraising events and opportunities to meet your favorite skaters in the weeks prior to the tournament.
