The Gold Coast Derby Grrls, ranked ninth in the South Central region, are based in Fort Lauderdale but boast hard-core skating babes from Dade, Broward, and West Palm Beach. From their outrageous outfits to their breakneck speeds and elbow-throwing bravado, the Derby Grrls could easily scare the crap out of you. The weak-hearted are advised to skip Saturday’s special Halloween-themed match. Pitting vampires versus zombies at the War Memorial Auditorium, this roller-derby event invites spectators to dress in their best costumes for a chance to win special prizes. Truly brave souls can purchase “suicide” seating to witness the walking dead take on blood-thirsty vamps in a rare creepy-creature skate-off
