I was wondering if anyone else out there is a fan or is on a team? I did it for a while last year when I was living back home. I just got a chance to join the team where I'm living now and it's such a good time! One of the most awesome aspects of Derby is that women of all ages and sizes are part of it. I didn't know there was a team back home until my sister told me and I joined, but I think the sport has been getting a lot more popular lately.

I know someone on this forum who is, I'll forward the link to this thread to her and maybe she'll be interested in chatting it up about roller derby, you girls are bad mammajammas!

cool! thanks!

It's funny that your name is Nightmare, that's the name of my old team, The Muddy River Nightmares. They are no longer a team, though. But, like I said I didn't even know there were teams here in Iowa until I moved back home (to Illinois, lol.)

i haven't, but I have ALWAYS wanted to try!! Maybe I'll look into it. I can be a beast. Hahaha.

I was training with fresh meats for derby last year but I split my shin at practice one night and had to let it go. I still love skating though, I have friends who made the team so I go see them at bouts and such and we skate together sometimes. I just can't go play derby with them, which sucks because it was really a great time!
