todays roller derby SUCKS

jjhansen2 says:

wrapping your arms around someone to take them down? “driving someone’s
head into the floor”? FIGHTING ON THE TRACK? This is not the Derby i know.
The confidence, the comraderie, the support, athleticism, those are all
Derby….but not the strange violence.
Derby, WFTDA derby, is an athletic, full contact sport. Hitting does
happen, but not fighting, tackling, or other actions that are just about
injuring someone.

Awesome, so got to find my local league and watch a match/game….??

Mariel A. Filomeno says:

Muy buen video. Estoy preparando un trabajo para mi cursada de tesis en
periodismo digital y junto a mi compañera nos pareció interesante, por eso
lo elegimos.

sodisgraceful says:

@KatiexKIRA lol she sounds like a pretty cool chick ;D

Ana A says:

I’m a girl but I don’t roller derby. I skateboard but I think this is
really neat and like skateboarding, roller derby let’s girls kick ass even
though there aren’t as many female skateboarders.

Rachel Spoon says:

This is so cool. I wanna get in to this now. O_O

jennifernu14 says:

Awesome vid! Makes me glad I joined roller derby!

saffyre00 says:

@maurapple More people get injured in the face

nihilo888 says:

I thought about doing it…but this video made me change my mind. I don’t
like anything in the pain family, that includes bee stings and paper cuts.
But kudos to those that do!

it for over a year now!

Emilie Nicole says:

mnwht7kgp1 says:

found out about this sport last night…too bad we dont have it in my
country…:(

pandachick90 says:

skate as much as you can, and watch more experienced skaters to see how you
do it. Don’t be afraid to ask more experienced derby girl for help.

CarmenLikesNarwhals says:

=O OMG. I wanna play! That would be soo BADASS.

jurgen951 says:

If you’re a girl it is…

Alexa Mg says:

Well, I wish you a lot of success! Let us know how that went (I´ve been
thinking about that too)

Mara O'Snap says:

Cute, but not representative of any WFTDA league.

gairabad says:

Why not?

Victoria Hill says:

Gonna be trying out soon…..

Mekenzie Goodson says:

I’m 17… I joined roller derby a year and a half ago and it changed my
life for the better. I am much happier, smarter, stronger and more
confident in all aspects. I didn’t know how to skate before I joined, my
league taught me. I don’t know where I would be without it. Roller derby
saved my life.

pandachick90 says:

hey, anybody can do rollerderby. One girl on my team, Big Pappa, she’s one
of the quietest people i know, but she can lay a mean hit. And even if you
are a klutz, you can still learn how to skate 🙂 thats one of the beauties
of this sport.

Jessica Sands says:

I miss this sport 🙁 There’s nothing like getting your ass kicked 4 times a
week for something you adore.

Ades13R says:

Roller Derby Rulez!!!!!

zeroaxdw says:

pandachick90 says:

Hey im Violent Jane 🙂 I’m 15 and i gotta say, derby is amazing. It helps
you in all aspects of your life, from confidence to gym class.

Lea Blak says:

Goddamnit, I can’t even stay up when stading completely still with my
skates xD Go roller derby girls!! 😀 Wish I could do it too

trying to recruit and watch it like every day 😀

Brittney Muniz says:

Allyson Renteria says:

maurapple says:

Is there a reason they use banked tracks less now a days?

lastemoon says:

I’m working on organizing Mankato, MN’s first league with a few other
souls… I cannot wait to get started!!!!

TheHippy26 says:
