The sport of Roller Derby is not that popular in America. It is a sport, but it’s not that mainstream of a sport yet. Drew Barrymore’s new film, “Whip It”, which is a film about Roller Derby is a good opportunity for that sport. I think the film will help get the sport recognized more.
The Roller Derby is wicked cool and an underrated sport.
There is Roller Derby games in the Albany area, believe it or not…the Albany All Stars RollerDerby is what I’m sure you’ve heard of…

It’s a pretty physical sport for women, basically a women only kind of sport. I have never seen Roller Derby before but I would like to see some Roller Derby bouts in Albany to see what’s it like.
Speaking of the Albany Roller Derby, check out, Flexi Wheeler of the team the Hellions:

She’s a local bodybuilder who has quite an impressive physique. If she can be successful at bodybuilding, anybody can do it here.

Did you ever see the award winning derby documentary “Jam” that was made in 2006. Derby has been making a comback for years now. I’m guessing that is why they made a mainstream movie about it, which I’m thinking is going to make derby explode, like the way Swingers made Swing Dancing huge.
