Los Angeles Thunderbirds Roller Derby

The Thunderbirds YouTube page is dedicated to classic roller derby from the golden age of the sport. This is defined as professional (athletes are paid), banked track skating, featuring both women and men on quad roller skaters. The classic version of the Thunderbirds was active from 1960 to 1993, with the “golden age” being the period from 1961 to 1974.
