OMG, Roller Derby is Back!

[TR6BILL]

I had no idea Roller Derby is back with a vengeance...

A neighbor's daughter is on a team in Baton Rouge, gotta go see some games.

Was a big fan in the 60's. Apparently flat track is more popular because it is cheaper to set up. Banked track is still big on the West Coast. How many of you can remember the Bay City Bombers. www.baycitybombers.com

Yep, we have plenty of it here in Phoenix as well. Dated a roller derby girl for a bit before I met my wife. It was an interesting experience.

I always think of Leon Russel's "Queen of the Roller Derby" when I hear about it. Knowing that song was how I got the roller derby girl to date me.

I'm glad to hear it wasn't after you met her.

Nope! I value my hide too much to be that foolish.

It's really big here too.A lot of the younger girls are
into it.I think it's kind of cool.

Wow. I wonder if I can get it on UHF channels, like in the old days...

ONLY if you put tinfoil on the bowtie antenna!

Then you gotta move your chair, as sitting in your "normal" place affects the reception.

Wow, I watched roller derby all the time when it was on tv - great combo of hype like pro wrestling but since I can't skate worth a flip I was really impressed!

I always liked a girl in a jammer helmet..

I prefer a lady with an Épée. "Parry, repost" goes better as "WHACK-whack, STAB!" :smirk:

Santelli got a LOT of my money.

Roller derby: it's got orthopaedic surgeons smiling everywhere there's a new team . . .

Get your health coverage updated, and go! :lol:
