Roller Derby, one word: AWESOME!
Highly addictive sport, fast paced and pure entertainment!
Those are just some of the words to describe Roller Derby. Yes, indeed this underground sport re-surfaces every decade or so, but this time its going to stay.
This was my first ever Roller Derby event and what better way to pop the cherry; work the actual event (Production Assistant, Camera assist). I hooked up with Aaron Johnston of AMJ Pro Video last month while working at the Paralympics, this is pretty much his baby (the behind the scenes, broadcast aspect). He has put in so much time and effort into this Roller Derby Project and it shows because we had a packed house last night!
This isn't your 1920's Roller Derby, the contact sport that we know of today has come a long way, with many rules and regulations changing; one things for sure, the entertainment still stays true.

aww! a nice friendly hug...I think.
"L.A Guns" about to hip-check "Avihater"
"LuLudemon" is going to feel that in the morning!
"Luludemon" is going to need a medic after "L.A Guns" dropped her.
the glory of winning!
