How to Play Roller Derby : Roller Derby Skates

[BansyHansy]

So when i tape the edge of the laces, is it meant that you should tape it up again or?

[Bunniesonfire5]

@BansyHansy Keep taping it as it wears off from knee falls and dragging.

[goldenfro2]

[cloudsbringnsexyback]

Yay!! finally a derby skater that knows what she's talking about, let me tell you, you don't find any derby skaters in Australia [where I live] that know this stuff. Most don't even know you can take the wheels off!!

[trevjack77]

@cloudsbringnsexyback are you serious?  what league do you skate with? I live in Australia too and the league I skate with does tech nights etc in addition to normal training......

[cloudsbringnsexyback]

@trevjack77 I'm actually an artistic skater but I know alot of derby skaters cos I spend a fair amount of time adjusting their skates, but the team is murder city.

[MEnnis91191]

@TheVikingKvinna Thanks. These are probably going to be staying until I'm super confident on skates. But really thanks a lot. I want to start a roller skating club at my college. It would be really great to transform it into a roller derby team.

[memomota]

damn..her hair looks so smooth...id like to rub it

[missbehaven54481]

where do you find designer duct tape?

[LOWBRASSPWNS]

@missbehaven54481 Local hardware stores like home depot or lowes, or even Walmarts and such have them. Just look in the tool/camping/hardware sections.

[PanWitSyr]

Im gonna try to start a mens roller derby club at my school hahaha

[devisesrude]

Hi, how are you?

Look we are beginning to practice this sport in my country, but do not understand English, I wonder if there are chances that you upload the videos with subtitles in Spanish, because I want to get a good workout and it really is a sport with which I identify.

If possible, I will be awaiting your reply thanks.

[fluffyb]

how to you change wheels when you want to skate outdoors as opposed to indoors?

[AshleyKellyD]

Hey, i want to be in a roller derby team thing ever since i saw the movie whip it,, any one no how old you have to be ???

[Soniclife1]

@AshleyKellyD in Canada you have to be over nineteen, in America i thinkkk it's twenty one, but you can join a league if you're over eighteen with parental consent

[AshleyKellyD]

@Soniclife1 oh ok thanks

[trinamleeauthor]

@AshleyKellyD Some parts of Canada like Alberta, the age is actually 18.

[luizpigeon]

i dont know read in english pls put the video is the best

[ForeverxFangirl]

lol i love how she sais happy skates

[Sakuralee4ever]

:( I am poor so I only have hand-me down fancy skates.

[RandiBeeman]

You can also buy leather toe guards, which protect the toes of your skates. It's a lot cheaper to replace a $6 toe guard than to replace the boot on a $200+ pair of skates. Of course, duct tape is even cheaper. :-)

[JacksonPemberton]

Could anyone tell me what brand are those black skates? I'd like to buy a good pair and I'll bet hers are very good!

[tillytillytango]

Those I think are Reidells. At least, the ones she is wearing are Reidells. They are so awesome. Get them.

[JacksonPemberton]

thanks!

[Sgrockrgrl89]

who skates in heels? AMEN!!

[Joffel27]

those are the best!

[kaspernbs]

@Sgrockrgrl89 Im sure some body will take up that chalenge

[xsheenax55]

can you use certain skateboard wheels on the skates? i got some skates but they have indoor wheels =/

[V3ryM3tal]

You could but it wouldn't be recommended. Better off buying some quad specific wheels.

[agentpeeps]

I"m actually very glad I watched this; I had no idea I had to tape down the skates.

[teamedward9669]

@agentpeeps on my skates the toe is already practically gone so yeah, tape em!!

[scyldmaegden]

Does anyone know where you can get the tool kit that she uses in this clip?

[valherself]

at a skateboard shop.

[sureshtmg]

r da playing techniques same 4 roller derby n roller blade?? plz some1 reply me.

[V3ryM3tal]

Not really sure exactly what your question is but you don't use blades in derby. The skating techniques for quads are very different than roller blades.

[onepartlime]

I sense nervousness in her voice

[RandiBeeman]

@onepartlime She's probably not used to speaking in public and/or on camera. I'm sure she shows no nervousness on the track!

[HaloofCurls]

Really should call these speed skates because that's what they are, not roller derby skates...

[boricua67]

0.54sec the kid push the other kid hahahahahaha xD

[lilmiznikki12]

1:54 NO DUH! Its a circle

[Gantogs]

hi all i want to buy it but i'm in korea how to buy it? help me please ?

[Ballpuncher]

speed creme...

[feerarg]

too sexy

[GAVNO1]

I'm a Noobie, wannabe referee here, and I'm wrestling with skates, pads, etc. Ref skating requirements probably aren't as great as competitor... but some of us really NEED high top skates; I busted an ankle back in Basic training, and it's been weak ever since. That extra support is essential to keep from folding my foot under me again. Other than that comment... this is a GREAT series of videos! VERY helpful to us beginners!

[HaloofCurls]

You can always get an ankle brace to wear with the speed skates. There's a skater on Sin City Rollergirls who broke both ankles and so she just wears braces with her speed boots. Of course a ref doesn't have to go as fast as the derby skaters do.

[RandiBeeman]

@HaloofCurls That depends what the ref is doing. The jammer ref has to keep up with the jammer ... so the jammer ref who is keeping up with the head jammer, by definition, has to keep up with the fastest girl on the track.

[MaliciayMiseria]

too much clothes!

[pititoes]

i use jam plugs not the regular stops i trip over those.

[mtggamer4]

yea me too im a good skater and when i got my new skates, i had to by plug stops

[cbrowncolors]

This series of videos are awesome!

[thesingingllamas]

I started on dance skates so it was a little challenging to switch. The other skates are also used for speed skating and jam skating. They allow you to bend your ankles more to get lower to the ground. The problem with square toe stops is that they can turn when you run on them, then they will trip you because the corner is at the wrong angle. Although duct tape is cool, they make toe covers for that purpose. A big thing for me was getting the right wheels. Softer wheels hold the track better.

[ksam4000]

I like tall boots! I started on short boots then went to tall boots - they forced my weight onto the balls of my feet helping my balance a LOT! BOO-urns!

Well - to each her own & thanks for posting!!

[gaira66]

right on, the tall boots are sooo sexy!
