I am thinking of trying out for roller derby when I am about halfway to my goal.

this is a video of the pittsburgh 'steel hurtin' team.

I have about 4 friends who do derby, one is around 220 lbs.

once I get there I might try out!

I've seen roller derby. Oh my gosh, it's insane. Good luck!

That's awesome! I used to love skating....I should take it up again.

it looks kinda dangerous...i have a phobia of skating ..

I had an interest in roller derby for a while but didn't really have the time. I know a couple girls who've done it and loved it. Sounds like a good goal!

I say go for it! It looks like a lot of fun (and hard work). I would totally do it if I could skate - and had the nerve!

I loved that show about roller derby girls that used to be on A&E.

That would be awesome -- a kick butt work out and you get to be a fabulous aggressive chick!
