Dude! I so want to do roller derby! Need to trade in my roller blades for roller skates...

@AshleyKellyD Many cities DO have derby (often called "brats" leagues) for younger skaters. I know at least 3 cites that have brats leagues that tend to go from approx 8 - 16 ish in age range: Rat City, Tuscon, & Texas Rollergirls (Austin). There are probably more, but those are the 3 that I know of.

@tinkerjan in addition... I think it is actually very well done... like I said just minor details...

I see you deleted my comment. Honestly I in no way was trying to be a bitch. Was just pointing out some minor details. Sorry I clearly offended.

This video is really awesome. I'm filming a roller derby documentary, and I want to something like this to explain the rules. I wonder if there are any video tutorials on how to produce these kinds of effects.

This is the most awesome sport you could play. I absolutely love being a part of something so fun and great.

@ForestShaner Not quite. I don't think there is one "lesbo" on my roller derby league and even if there was, that is just plain stupid to stereotype the sport like that.
