Chrissy introduces us to a sport of skill, speed, strength, and spandex: Roller Derby.

• Roller Derby is a sport that involves two teams skating around a track, each with a jammer trying to score points while avoiding the opposing blockers whose sole aim is to eliminate them from the competition.
• It is the fastest growing women’s sport in town with twelve leagues across the state.
• The team there will teach you how to skate. There is twelve weeks of non-contact training before they let you out into the real thing.
• The lessons include falling over safely, stopping, speed skating as well as drills and strategy sessions.
• The sport is hugely physical and tactical. You can also enjoy the action from sitting in the crowd if you prefer to just watch.
