If you get to meet Danielle Colby-Cushman, you owe us PICS!!

I know she doesn't skate any more, but on the off chance you run into her at a gig.

Gave me a semi. Is there a non-flat track version?

If it sounds interesting and you have some talent just give it a try.

There is a club that practices down the street from me. They are a good group of gals.
I get the feeling they could push me around, and yes, I would like that.

Good luck on your pursuits!

I think original roller derby is done on a track that slants down toward the middle.

Like a velodrome? I would think that would make it much more interesting.

I think maybe the sides flatten out, but the ends are slanted.

Those banked track roller derby matches were a hoot to watch.

Good luck with it Luv!

I have some friends that compete. Although I've never seen them in action, I know they have a lot of fun.

The problem with banked roller derby (yes, like a velodrome) is that it's expensive. Flat track can be held at any old skating rink.

Interesting...i wasn't aware there was a flat track option.

Good luck luv.

In your country, I believe it is called "foot-wheelie smashee."
