Some Great Roller Derby Videos
Hey all! Some great roller derby videos were brought to my attention, so I thought I'd share.
During this bout of the London Rollergirls vs. Birmingham, some guy just runs onto the track completely nekkid! It's about halfway through the video, and the editing makes it that much more hilarious! I think it's true what the commenters said, when you have a streaker, you know you have arrived. Anyone wanna streak at the June 20th bout? (Just kidding. I'm pretty sure Professor Murder does not want to chase down a streaker. And if you interrupt a jam in progress... we will kick your ass ourselves. And we will catch you.
)
This is an educational video using rollergirls and refs to illustrate the principles of electric current. Seriously, I learned something! (Ok, not really. Mainly because my dad is an electrician.
) It's really cute. There are a lot of d-bags on the comments for this one, mainly because it's roller derby and educational, but I think it's Awesome with a capital A.
In this video Gotham's Beyonslay takes Texas' Rice Rocket completely off her feet! No other info needed!
This one comes from way back in 2007. This one is a "sherrif" (a type of backwards shoulder block) gone horribly wrong. At about :48, the girl getting blocked kicks the blocker in her "lady regions". Whoops!
That's all I got for now. Enjoy!
