Classic banked-track Roller Derby action! The picture quality isn't great, but the speed and athleticism of the skaters are quite apparent beneath the static fog.

These announcers have to go😂
Was there a reason the TBirds went from red and blue to green and gold?
in 1978 they were using 3 tube cameras that later turned into CCD units, the lights can make a tube camera 'flare' which is dead giveaway of a tube camera
They have a book to purchase but they need to make an audio book with narration by the people who are still kicking. It is always more fun to have someone read it to you when you know it is one of the actual players, what do you think? I will buy one, rv
Skinny Minnie was ruthless and amazing, should would take on people twice her size without fear and decked many a bully in her day, RIP. Too soon lost
I would love to bring this style of roller skating back. They have new skating but they are more 'scrums' than skating and very little speed. They would be more fun if they had a wall or 2 of death and some serious course or track obstacles. Not inline skating, regular 4 roller per wheel old school. there is so much money in sports, this is an untapped market, any takers?
funny the phone number 674-4700 would have an old area code and now is a 310 area code and the number has been used by dozens of people and businesses. The forum never kept the original phone number. strange for such a large venue sports arena
🇬🇷🇬🇷👋🪖🏈 They could combine a ball With this sport Maybe a football ball 🏈🏈🏈🏈 With little creativity.i just say As they create slamball Trampoline basketball
Let us see the full game!!!
Gwen was charisma personified.
1:51 2:16 Harold Jackson, cleared for takeoff.
Reminds me of the WNBA... with skates and actual spectators.
Never liked it. It was fake.
Minny Skinny 😊
She is a five foot six and two fifteen A bleached-blonde momma with a streak of mean
The "other outfit", presenting other "outfits". This, is good. Very good. Leo Seltzer's era/Roller Games/IRDL/NSD/IRSL...loved them all! A newsreel short of the Transcontinental days, that would be sweet. Very much appreciated, thank you!
I cannot stop crying 😂😂😂😂
Mom took my sister and I to my first roller derby when I was still in diapers. Our favorite team was the San Francisco Bay bombers and my favorite skater I don't know a real name but they called her the blonde bomber. Now That's what I call entertainment. And a lot of good memories
The "Blonde Bomber"on the Bombers would be the great Joan Weston! 😀
Several great names in Roller Derby history. Gerry Murray was the reason I became interested in the sport.
I could watch Gerry Murray all day. She could fly on those skates. I see where Mike Gammon got his speed
Like the good old days of derby!
@kitty3863 I remember that there used to be TV broadcasts on Saturday afternoons. It seemed to be like professional wrestling on roller skates.
too much showboating not enough real skating.
This is better than wrestling

What is this! Wheeled wrestling
こけ方がわざとらしいなw
Favorite Era of Roller Games but horrible camera direction
Laughing out of my ass😂😂😂 benchod kya game hai ye 😹😹🤣
Does anyone have any memorable from the Australian Roller Game?
ぷろれす
Soy el primero en dar "Like".
That is a really good video. Big John Hall and Ms. Georgia Hase and all of the others really knew what the fans wanted to see! I'm so happy that I found these videos. Thanks 🛼
Gwen Miller was my favorite T-Bird's roller derby lady. She was quite phenomenal!!!
Thank you for all of your participation on this channel. We appreciate you!
Is there anyway I can get video of any of the mat races
Ordered one . Hope you include The Eastern Warriors , The Bay Bombers ( T-Bird script style ) in the future . Will give a review .
Where do I buy one? I've been trying to get one since the 1970s. 👍
Yes!!! Thank you !!! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Loved those Birds! Fantastic skating by a terrific team. Great footage and camera work too. 👍
Great footage exciting Roll Derby

Oh that's good stuff. Love it.
I Never Forget Patsy Delgado She Is A Great Skater For The T-Birds
I don't remember the names of the positions, but one team is on the offense, and they had to break one of their teammates out of the pack. The defensive team would try to prevent this. Once broken out, the freed skater had to catch up with the pack. The defensive team would have these linenbacker-like women who would try to keep her from rejoining the pack. The offense would score a point if she was able to rejoin by getting past these monstrous defensive players. At that point the roles are switched and the defense would be on the offense. At times it was quite brutal and bloody with fights taking place in the middle (infield) or skaters being forced into and over the outer rail.
Used to watch roller derby in the early 70’s. Quite a spectacle of excitement and mild brutality. Wrestling on skates to some degree.
Roller Derby
I have no clue what this is. Just like Rugby. What in the world?!
Dang, this is legit 💪
Bring this back
Oh, yes! Put it to them Outlaws!!
