Roller Derby

I've been kicking around the idea for a while, and I think it'd be kinda cool to start an all-girl roller derby league in Knoxville. I don't know if it would really fly here, so give me a show of hands if you'd be interested in kicking some ass in the rink.

I used to love roller skatiing as a kid. My stepmom was a co owner of the rink in lenoir city.

I see that roller derbies are becoming popular again in various cities, but honestly I don't know a damn thing about it or what it involves.

actually, my friend Noelle brought the idea up to me a few weeks ago, and is quite serious about it. She has at least three people interested. If you want I can put you in touch.

Oh I know Noelle, I could totally see her doing roller derby now that I reseached it a bit.

I'll do it as long as the outfits are flattering, lol.

I'm not talented enough to actually do it...I am an extremely clumsy person...

But I will help any way I can...make signs, spread the word...whatever

This is a really neato idea, Russo

Penalties are given to skaters who block illegally, fight or behave in an unsportsmanlike manner. Penalties can be given after each jam or at the end of a period.

Ooh fuck yea.
