Roller Derby Girls | SubCultures

[@festerd4134]

I'm a derby dad to a junior league blocker/pivot. Let me just say the sport has changed her life and our home. As a single dad, it's not easy raising a daughter but thanks to the women of our charter team that job got easier. Her esteem was boosted, her awkwardness went away, she began to get into shape and have motivation to keep it up. I guess you could say Derby saved her life. I can't express my love and appreciation enough for having Killamazoo ok our lives!! I don't mind sharing the status of hero in her life with the women of our teams!

[@millie9814]

This is awesome. Reminded me of a movie I watched this week, "Whip it" from 2009. Does she still play?

[@samanthasunshine1925]

I'm so in love with this sport! I just started 1 month ago, and I'm on one of the teams featured in this video. GO DERBY DIVAS WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!! I can't wait to be on their level! I have to crawl before I walk right! They have been awesome cheerleaders along the way! Awesome!

[@friendlyporkchop]

You would not believe the incredible community comes with derby. You can knock a girl flat one moment and be asking her for a place to crash the next. It's amazing and I'm so in love with this sport.

[@GB016768]

This video was so amazing. The production level is so incredibly high; i can't wait until Soul Pancake just blows up, because it is gonna happen, it's just a matter of time before everyone is watching :D

[@iTzKneecapeH]

As usual, AMAZING. Thank you Rainn (and everyone else of course) for this channel, it truly is great.

[@Veryslowcar]

My sister is a derby girl. She is in a band and has three kids. And she is my role model.

[@chiffanytang]

I really like Oreo Shake'em! I think she's funny. Also, did anyone notice the "nerdgasm" on the back of the guy's shirt at 3:15? x)

[@Jo-cz1md]

I love the film whip it and I love the sport and skating

[@Jo-cz1md]

???

[@jessiepinkman7736]

this was a great video, the video quality was great, the editing tops, and the people very interesting... now i wanna watch this sometime! Live, of course

[@livvybusch8085]

I've always wanted to do roller derby

[@mollymay8967]

Roller Derby is an incredible sport! Ever since I saw the film Whip It I have been hooked on it! I would love to see this sport on TV as it's an amazing sport to watch!

[@edbstrung]

Tv stations used to air Roller Derby games on tv when I was a kid and looong time ago, around the late 70's into the 80's

[@RebeccaJayne5x5]

edb strung oh would love that, it never happened in the UK I am guessing you are in the US, even with the more modern roller derby you never see it on tv in the U.K. not even on ESPN late at night 😀 no one even gets roller derby when I said I played it was like “what the hell is roller derby?” Then they say is it like figure skating but on skates? Or when the do see a bit of it “where’s the ball, is there a ball?”

[@atelierfrost]

I can't believe the chick at the beginning talked about elbowing, considering that's likely to be a major penalty, especially with the new WFTDA ruleset with no minors...

[@loreleiwegner8053]

I was just about to say that!

[@camillaroseg]

Do it! I'm from the UK, and I was nervous to start, but I just went to my first session yesterday and absolutely loved it - I'm already addicted! :)

[@Teagz93]

Soulpancake is my favourite subscriber on youtube. I love all the videos you bring out :D

[@TroyNTeague]

I'm a derby videographer and I love this video, I love the sport and I want to see the sport grow to new heights. "No one wants to watch the WNBA, Everyone wants to watch Derby"

[@ChantalOpp]

This video is perfection. I do Roller Derby myself and I can relate to so many things they say.

[@MyDearIndigoRose]

I can't wait to do this when im older. Definitely on my bucket list.

[@camillaroseg]

I hadn't either until about a month ago. I'm from Manchester, and I went to my first session yesterday and absolutely loved it. It's on the rise in the UK and believe it or not there's at least one team in every city :) There are three in Manchester alone

[@AbsoluteTwoddle]

Really enjoyed this video! I've been to roller disco a few times where we end up playing hockey and bulldog, but I'd love to give this a go some day.

[@harmonymelodypress]

That was awesome. I have always wanted to know more about derby culture. Thanks for the glimpse. Hopefully I will get to go out and watch it someday.

[@demalishadurga]

love, love, love!!! Thanks Soul Pancake!

[@stimela1000]

I started in October last year. I love it! Sadly I'm struggling with a pre-existing injury problem so I haven't managed to pass my skills test yet. Hopefully soon though :)

[@worksupermodel]

Omg they are amazing. I know the second someone shoved me, I would cry. lol 😂

[@kayame18]

I never knew that there was a men's league I discovered Derby on Whip it and I've been following but I don't know many channels where bouts are recorded so I can watch it.

[@wutangthewhale]

It exits here in the UK too! I know there's a team in Hull, and I expect there are a couple in London as well as other places..

[@doctorphilip3776]

4:33 THAT'S ME!!😃😃😃

[@xlubu411x]

I've played roller hockey since I was six and I've always wanted to try this out. I really don't understand what its not a more popular sport it looks awesome.

[@cleoatomica9212]

DERBY LOVE TO ALL MY SISTERS

[@applejustice]

do u still do it?

[@TheFezzik]

My wife is a derby blocker for the Peoria Push Derby Dames. The games are awesome.

[@twentynineducks]

This looks like so much fun!

[@sarahbaughman7682]

I'm going to a derby "bout" in Cambridge, MA on July 27th as a result of this video. Totally awesome.

[@catastrophicized]

Who WOULDN'T love roller derby?

[@r0ckinr0byn2085]

What a perfect outlet

[@DarrellElmerRodgers]

Cool! On the San Diego Derby Dolls, the skater "Lemon Drop" is my AWESOME cousin.

[@ronanthecowtamer]

Now, I must admit that 'Whip It' was the first time I had ever heard of roller derby, but being English, I hope you can forgive me... I digress, because I have started watching it online and it is so much fun to watch: a true spectator sport. I just hope it keeps on increasing in popularity and I am glad it is a female-centric sport that is not just a watered-down version of a male sport (netball: I'm looking at you...) and I hope that more sports are recognised as being female-centric or equal!

[@jessreynolds4372]

Dangerous to a degree, but appropriate safety attire is worn, and believe it or not, we spend a lot of time learning how to fall, as to keep both yourself and everyone else safe! There are also penalties to keep people from doing sketchy hits. Not as dangerous as you'd think! :)

[@taylorgentry3118]

You guys should do a video on winter guard

[@AveQSCTWWU2015]

You guys should cover one of the IQA quidditch teams in California!!!!!! Or any quidditch team for that matter.

[@JessRushworth]

you should do a show on Ultimate Frisbeeee

[@cirilia]

Derby looks so awesome. I wish I had the balls to go out for a team.

[@LiraelBlack]

Super interesting it makes me want to watch (would it be called a match? game?)

[@LaGuardia44729]

[@thumbsupman13]

[@jkmorbo]

[@The0Vivacious]

Oh, glad to hear that then. Sorry about my spelling lol

[@DJDocsVideos]

My favorite spectator sport.

[@j.i.-cruz]

Ever since I saw that Ellen Page movie, Whip It, I've been ever so interested in the world of Roller Derby.

[@thumbsupman13]

awesome sport.. saw whip it and i

[@emelliott]

My feet always used to hurt in my skates and I found that if I did squats then it didn't hurt so much 😂😂😂😂

[@gabscer]

AWESOME!

[@MinikatzArt]

That actually seems like it would be really fun :D

[@brianpburch]

[@maureenmacintosh3245]

[@GoldenFleece148]

[@PsychedeliDuck]

[@mrzkent247]

IEDD baby!!! Derby=love if you've never tried it then what are you waiting for? get your ass on the track

[@Takuya3191994]

I love this sport. It's really interesting. If you guys want to watch a great movie (not documentary) centered around this sport I recommend "Whip It" it's an awesome film and it stars Ellen Page.

[@NOCLUEinvalid]

uhh i really wish i could do roller derby. it's not anywhere near i live + probably not possible due to COVID

[@jawarablake]

I need to do this.

[@mskelseypeters]

Love Derby! Go Gotham!!!

[@charbokh]

Estrogen as its best. These girls are awesome.

[@stimela1000]

Derby is one of the sport under consideration for entry into the 2020 Olympic games. So you may yet see derby girls in the olympics.

[@PITAheather]

❤️

[@stimela1000]

There are Roller Derby leagues all around the country. i've just started the fresh meat training with Kent Rollergirls. If you're interested check it out, you likely have a league near you.

[@SuperLufuta]

3:14 I see stone cold

[@goribore]

aaahhhh, learning made fun :)

[@1zalex1]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a subculture you could cover. A little vulgar, but I know a lot of people, including myself, that use the event as a stress release.

[@ashleylovesjill]

I want to do this so bad omg

[@Ninatoro39]

Woooooooo!!!!

[@MimmiBie]

I wish I was this cool.

[@saylor453dr1]

Where was Ellen Paige?

[@JustSayTony]

Let's say you wanna get ahead in your career.

[@OpheliaBookworm]

Olympics? please!?!

[@Rezyh]

This is a sport I could get behind, screw football.

[@keladry12]

I want to do this now... I totally should have found out about this during high school; the biggest disappointment of my hockey career was when they moved us girls to a girls team and then said that we would no longer be allowed to check. LAME. ;)

[@mrzkent247]

its a bout

[@Flexmeister]

MORE CANDICE

[@BaiNaiMai]

I'm too much of a sissy to play contact sports, but AGH GO FOR YOU GIRLS YOU ROCK.

[@mfmelendez]

Dammit... Now I wanna watch me some ladies rollerderby.

[@Zenn_013]

[@tudormiller8898]

I'd love to see Roller Derby on the BBC, rather than The Super Bowl.

[@BKGcode]

I tried to bring some color to the Roller Derby world, check @bkgcode on Instagram🎨

[@Dizahab2]

[@MisterMadPanda]

[@faithintruthltd]

[@MisterMadPanda]

[@VictoriaCreeper]

There are men roller derby leagues!

[@tudormiller8898]

Roller Girls are so damn hot. 👩♥️🤘

[@leonherperger4055]

i wonder how early derby enthusiasts can feel good about revitalizing a sport in the name of counter culture that was quickly swallowed by popular culture, right along with tattoos and rockabilly? you are celebrating the very monster you initially stoog against.

[@The0Vivacious]

But this is still dangerious... fun and cool but dangerious... watch out!

[@derbylove82]

watch online derbynewsnetwork(dot)com :)

[@scoobysnacks6178]

le sexisme renversé n'existe pas
