Rollerderby has been back in existence since 2001. it's a little different now. not fake stuff and it has rules and regulations. check
www.wftda.com to find out info on the type of derby we play.
in 2001 there was one league started in texas and it has grown so quickly that there are now over 600 leagues through the US alone. the Aussies are really into it as well.
there's this rad book called "Rollergirl: Totally True Tales From the Track" by Melissa "Melicious" Joulwan. that book is a quick and interesting read if you want to know how it began to make a comeback and how it is actually now considered a professional sport. it's got some pretty gruesome injury stories in there as well.
as for me... the worst injuries i've had are a broken arm (at my elbow) and a HUGE black bruise on my ass. i seriously couldn't sit nor sleep for about a week with that fuck off bruise.
