Hi Amy, the movie, Derby, is kind of an odd film. There's some roller derby highlights, but it's mostly about this dude who wants to become a skater and we ...
Not to disagree with anything HJ says--it's definitely not for everybody--the point he's left out is that "Derby" is a documentary. Whereas "Holy Rollers" was...
I'm just jumping on board here. I have a question. Is Derby staged, or, is it like I suspect, and that Seltzer's old org was legit with color to keep things...
LOL. Well, you get the argument that it's all the same and Griffith just flavored his a little more strongly. My personal opinion is that the players ...
Well, it is true that it did last longer. But you have to comment on the quality. From what I have read, it seems to me that theatrics have been involved, as ...
I couldn't agree with you more. I, too, first watched Roller Derby when ESPN televised it in the mid '80s. The difference between Griffith's Roller Derby and...
Well, sure, in a perfect world I agree with you 100%. I think the point is there was no televised team roller action for 15 years, and when RJ was introduced ...
give me back 8 periods at 8 minutes each, teams playing in every small town in the area, from HS gyms to the big arenas .... and i'll be back !!!!<br>watched ...
What they have to do is bring back the old rules, but with the new track dimensions. I like the concept of the 125'x65' track. I always thought that it should...
As a matter of fact, I have known of Buddy senior and Buddy Junior. I suppose you have read the posts I have put here. I was wondering what your group was ...
Don't expect much of Rollerball, the critics are calling it the worst movie of the decade! Besides, Yahoo's message board on the film has only 48 posts on ...
<<Don't expect much of Rollerball, the critics are calling it the worst <br>movie of the decade>><br><br>That's because Britney Spears' movie...
Hi, I am a current and active skater as cory,(hey little bro). I don't post much in these clubs, but sometimes like to see what is being said. I have heard ...
John,<br> Your post was GREAT.I couldn't have said it better myself.That is what made the game exciting for me and kept me coming back,the pivot person can do...
hey Duckster,<br><br>I'll pick Britney's,<br><br>I'm a supposed virgin and nobody can get into my undies(except for Junstin that is), but I'll show lots of...
That's interesting stuff, HJ; thanks. It kind of explains all the posts at the RDPA about how ex-RG skaters were "training" for a "new league"; it appears they...
Personally, I like the pivot skater, who became the focal point of attention for each team; he/she was typically the most athletic big skater on each team (for...
What do you think is a better strategy to keeping the jammer or pivot from scoring: closing the lanes, or a fast pack? I see it like this: if they can't catch...
... Of course, hotjam, you'd know both would get their butts kicked singlehandedly by SHAY BROWN THE WHOLE [bleep]ING SHOW! PDuckster35 Yahoo! groups suck....
The pivot skater was my favorite, too, as Jan Vallow was my favorite skater. Who can forget her battles with Joanie Weston? I loved Jan's skating style, and...
Anyone know if there are banked tracks (preferably resembling Derby tracks) in the Northeastern US? Even though I'm now too old to try out for Derby, I'd...
I've sent Yahoo! a question about whether we can retrieve photos from the Club. This also happened in another club I belonged to, so I'm going to say we'll...
Has anyone here been watching the short track speed skating in the Olympics? That is so crazy. And it has been described as roller derby on ice. Well, it is...
... like ... it ... The olympic speed skating event I saw on tv featured a team relay race. They had four teams racing at the same time and had to skate ...
Hi I just wanted to post this message to say Happy Birthday to Marcus Abraira, who celbrates his B-Day today. Happy Birthday Marcus. I hope you had a wonderful...
