That’s often very true but not always! There are some extremely effective “larger” jammers that can be difficult to stop and some smaller blockers that are amazing at positional blocking. I am *awful* at blocking most of the time and it’s just easier for me to focus on moving forward as a jammer 😉

@spottay2124 жыл бұрын
madjack956 It’s a good question! The issue tends to be with cost to own one and transport one. Flat track is a lot more affordable and easier to transport if needed. Some leagues aren’t privileged to have a regular practice space so flat track also allows teams to take chalk or tape and draw up a track and play. The flat track style is governed by its own set of rules that are quite different than banked track!

I've already posted the link to the documentary. Being in my 60s with physical challenges, I go to as many of the Free State Roller Derby bouts that are at home as I can. The women I have met who participate in this sport, whether they are one of the home teams or a visiting team, all seem happy to have people come out and watch them. Even the few I have spoken with who are on guest teams seem to have real sportsmanship! In addition to supporting the local team, that is one of the reasons I like to watch. Regarding the sportsmanship, you are like the contestants on American Ninja Warrior! I can't think of a better compliment to give to the women I have met in this sport!
