There's not much I can say about this sport that isn't great. Concrete, fishnet-stockings, short shorts, speed, high impacts, lots of make up, loud music and tattooed girls ripping up the track on roller-skates! This is Roller Derby and it is so awesome to go and see live. I have been a fan for years and my sister is a Derby Girl in southern BC so it's easy to love it. Getting to photograph a bout put on as well as the Bow Valley Roller Derby team did this last Saturday night was a total treat.
If you ever get the chance to get out to one of these bouts you need to go. If you can appreciate the high-impact sport of hockey mixed with rock and a lot of interesting characters, you'll love Derby. Thanks again to the BVRD for having me out!
