If youโ€™re looking for a gayer way to get CTE, or at least some badass bruises to show off at Dyke Nite, Tampa Roller Derby has you covered.

The open gender league hosts a free expo on a smaller track, where first time viewers can also meet skaters and learn about what it takes to jam.

The night includes a performance from Central Florida post-hardcore band Dagger, and Magnanimous will, of course, be slinging beer. And if thatโ€™s how you want to roll, the leagueโ€™s last beginner class of the year is June 7 in Town ‘N’ Country.

(The CTE thing was a joke, please donโ€™t hurt me.)ย 

There is no cover for Tampa Roller Derby’s Free Expo on Saturday, May 30 in Tampa.
