[@charlecabs4538]

Always grateful to be able to watch the games on here, since I am all the way from the Philippines. I learned about roller derby way back in 2016 and has developed so much love for this sport.

[@amychall4570]

best apex jumps would be pretty nice :>

[@warm_lettuce473]

That'd make such a cool anime

1:10:52 That flick around :-) or rather the staying upright afterwards, so nice.

[@rosemaryY995]

This exact vid is the one that got me obsessed with roller derby!

[@murilkaa]

boy oh boy, I can't wait for the next championship

[@chekl1982]

This sport is so interesting. I am surprise it is not popular.

[@russiaisgay3698]

Same here its kinda like american football

[@wynfrithnichtwo8423]

Used to be back in the day.

[@glencostello5795]

Roller Derby back in the 70's-now that was entertaining!!!

[@kathykotlan1130]

Have to say I like the banked track Roller Derby.

[@KamiAva]

I remember going to my sisters bouts when I was small i miss it

[@lindaeasley5606]

Roller Derby is a sport that exited at least as far back in 1950 in the US and yes ,women competed. It was the first sport in which women could participate in contests that required violent contact at times

Started in the 40s

[@kimpastor3395]

🎉see the Best day ever😊

[@Monkey-Boy2006]

Though with a name like Gotham I would've thought they'd go for darker colours.

[@TheWFTDA]

In this game Gotham is wearing their "visiting team" jerseys (white). Their home team/standard jerseys are black; you can see those jerseys in their game against VRDL at this tournament: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pamkfJ2rl7qsd68

@@TheWFTDA Okay, that makes sense. I know European soccer teams do the same. Cheers!

[@AzaelMirelesMoreno01]

How i came here?

[@RomanRoman-xi3dv]

Why no angular track no more?

[@Monkey-Boy2006]

Woooh, yeah, woooooh!

[@hopelessstrlstfan181]

Are we sure we have the correct tactics here? I get the idea of having a small teammate be the jammer bc presumably she's fast. But wouldn't a large skater be better suited to break thru the defense? Just saying.

[@chadharrison5681]

Breaking thru does no good when you can’t break away.

[@hopelessstrlstfan181]

@@chadharrison5681 , thanks. I give that some more thought.

[@horsefly1020]

This looks like a joke compared to the 70's

[@mizukibrine4577]

horsefly1020 the 70s was staged

[@emikobong7022]

70's looks like a joke compared to this.

[@cyd.is.eepy8269]

as a derby player myself, i assure you it is much better now
