Being White Trash is Hard

This summer my friends and I decided that since we live in Utah we should embrace the culture and go see all the big White Trash events. We had plans to go see a rodeo, monster truck rally, demolition derby, and roller derby.

Well summer is now over and we only made it to the demolition derby. Apparently you have to actually work to be White Trizzash. So after our failure during the summer we decided to extend it into to fall. Last night we went to see a roller derby. Salt Lake has a derby league called the Salt City Derby Girls that compete at the Salt Palace. If you've seen the movie Whip-it then you'll know what I'm talking about. Tough chicks dressed up in micro mini skirts with fish-net tights bash each other around as their team skates to get the most points.

I was not expecting the game to be so confusing. You really have to pay attention and know the rules to understand what is going on. Also, I thought the audience would be screaming and yelling, but everyone seemed very calm. Maybe it's just Utah. Still a fun and unique experience.

We're now thinking about a whole White Trash year just to get it right.
