to watch maybe. it would be fun as hell if you were a good skater. I know in the girl's leagues, they are starting to have highly accomplished female speed skaters sign up and basically wrecking shop.

Why do they have to wear roller skates and not roller blades? Roller skates look so goofy....

I used to be a big fan of RollerJam, a roller derby leaguein the late '90s. Unfortunately, the writers decided to write horrific plot lines similar to professional wrestling and the league died shortly thereafter.

Detroit has a few teams, it's a pretty big deal...a girl that I went to high school with skates and her brother is a ref. I considered joining as a ref, but I wrecked my ankle late summer and (probably not a good thing), it's still weak in some ways. The girls are fun to drink with, even if there aren't many that you'd like to go home with.

This takes me back a few years. Late night on the weekends on UHF. There was always this place in Ohio that all the best teams played out of.

Roller Derby used to be awesome about 20+ years ago. We'd watch it on TV all the time. Was fun.
