@Chris Holmes if you saw how bruised they got you wouldn’t think it was
fake!..

Tasia Siereveld says:

The women in this bout are breaking rules! Derby is not a fake sport, and
if this event is staged, then it is an insult to the sport! Derby is not
fake, if you dont belive me then find a local derby group and go to a
practice. You are ignorant for saying that it is or that staged derby is
better than the real thing. It is a very difficult sport that takes a great
deal of fitness and strategy. And I’d like to see any of you get on a pair
of skates and do what they do! 

chris holmes says:

Fake but loads of fun lol

Petesrules says:

The acting was professional in those days and fun to watch. The modern
stuff is garbage on skates.

Mark Tabron says:

excellent NYC women’s field plays!!!!!

Michael Christian says:

I was a very heavy roller derby fan in the late 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s and
the mid 1990’s. I wondered whatever happened to the Roller Derby Games they
used to show on regular TV. I even tried in the ’70’s to organize a roller
derby team at my high school and hoped it spreaded to all the high schools
in the California area and become the latest sports activity for all high
schools. Michael Christian

Ellen McGowan says:

My aunt Maddy was in the roller derby I often went and watched her skate in
sunnyside gardens.. I remember her going to skate in Virginia. I’m trying
to find out the name of the team. I was only five when I use to go watch
her so I don’t remember.

7beers says:

i like watching ladies fall flat on their asses

billyblais says:

I’d rather watch this than today’s Halloween Bouts

Lila Cherry says:

Brutal can that class as assault?

Ignacio Garcia says:

I had no idea!

Joe Blenkle says:

The Derby of the 60s and 70s and even the 50s (although I wasn’t a fan yet)
was the best. The athletes were highly skilled. I consider the all-girl
Roller Derby of today a cheap imitation…and although I’ve tried to follow
the league that skates in the Bay Area now, the skating is sub-par,
theatrical, and a total disappointment.

utter shite

Daniela De Anda says:

WTF? They are all men

DELTAFORCE662 says:

Was this sport fake? If so then how?

Thorpe741 says:

Just as fake as wresrling, but way funner!

iskandar100k says:

Seriously looks fake.. Plan all the way to make it look interesting.

SeedsForBrains says:

its rigged like wrestling. Nowadays, its no longer staged but back then,
they sometimes rehearsed the fights and have a predetermined winner.

MrNYCman530 says:

You have to respect their skating ability and durability, but it’s fixed!
Just about every game is won by only a few points and you ever notice when
someone breaks a double block, both blockers unclasp their hands and they
score?

Ron Zee says:

roller derby at its best

curtis jones says:

you obviously were not around back in the late 60’s and early 70’s this was
fun to watch less brutal then football and boxing –

shampy says:

way more fun*

Chase Knighton says:

yea 4:09 was def. was fake

happymealme says:

when i go bam! you go ugh!

M Pacheco says:

I wonder if I wrote for the rules if they will still send them out, HA!

kabardinka1 says:

Banked track roller derby is waay better than flat track.

joe giant says:

I remember seeing this live… makes me feel lucky 🙂

Marcos Benitez says:

Its all acting

ZZZ390 says:

People who like this “sport” are animals

ChargeclothingUK says:

Definitely looks rehearsed and fake like WWF, poor acting, dramatic
reactions….

Eddie Richardson says:

This was the ugliest thing i’ve ever seen in my entire life.
