Roller Derby

I didn't see this topic yet so I decided to bring it up. What are your thoughts on it? Do you ever go see any bouts in your area? Would you like me to help you find them in your area?

It's good times so if you've never been, you ought to check it out. If you're a girl you ought to give it a try, it's seriously fun and a good workout.

I've been to a couple here, the Carolina Roller Girls. It's flat-track, so it's a little slow compared to the slanted track stuff.

Actually flat track is more difficult than a banked track. I say flat track FTW.

I spectate... I imagine it doesn't feel much slower for the players.

Last bout I watched there was one player who skidded on the concrete and was bleeding through her spandex. Ouch.

sounds like some major rink rash
