Pikes Peak Derby Dames is a women's flat trackroller derby league based inColorado Springs, Colorado. Founded in 2005, Pike's Peak is a founding member of theWomen's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]
Pikes Peak Derby Dames was founded in the summer of 2005, when Courtney "Slugs-N-Kisses" Mansfield was inspired after reading about theTexas Rollergirls.[2] With guidance from Denver'sRocky Mountain Rollergirls, Pike's Peak began training at Skate City that same year.[2] The league is run by its members,[3] and is a nonprofit organization.
Pikes Peaks consists of three home teams that primarily play each other, and two travel teams. The home teams are the Candy Snipers, Danger Dolls, Killer Queens. The Pikes Peak travel teams, the All Stars and the Slamazons, play teams from other leagues. The All Stars areranked internationally by the WFTDA, and their games factor into their ranking. The Slamazons are the B team, and typically play other B teams in non-sanctioned play.
Pikes Peak first competed at theWFTDA Western Regional Tournament in 2007, losing their opening round game toB.ay A.rea D.erby Girls 198-11.[4] At the 2008 Western Regional, Pikes Peak dropped their opening game toDuke City Derby 138-99, and after victories overHouston Roller Derby andTucson Roller Derby, lost 159-71 toKansas City Roller Warriors to finish the tournament in sixth place.[5] In 2009, Pikes Peak finished a winless weekend at the Western Regional with a 185-91 loss to Tucson to finish in tenth place.[6]
After a five-year absence from WFTDA Playoffs, in 2015 Pikes Peak clawed all the way back from a pre-season ranking of 93 into the 30s, to qualify forDivision 1 Playoffs in Jacksonville as the ninth seed.[7] At Jacksonville, losses toSteel City,[8]Detroit[9] andGlasgow left Pikes Peak with a tenth-place finish.[7] Pikes Peak dropped in the rankings in 2016 and did not qualify for Playoffs in that year.
