    Best explanation video I've seen on Roller Derby so far. Nice one guys :) I'll definitely be passing this on to all my family/friends/colleagues when they ask for an explanation!

    This was really helpful. I had no idea how roller derby was played beyond roller skates and circular track.

    70s-80's Roller Derby on American TV had fights, clotheslines and people thrown out over a rail. I was very young but remember it was a lot like wrestling. After this video, I now know how its supposed to be

    This is an awesome video! Unfortunately, though, the legal target zone is incorrect in Pippa's description. It is not knee and above, it is mid-thigh and above. The area between knee and mid-thigh is NOT a legal target zone.

      It is primarily a Women's sport, but men play too. Search for "mrda championships".

    • @brexpeep
      @brexpeep 5 лет назад +1

      no, not at all. People always think that, but actually males play the sport too. People think it wouldnt be fair, but thats why their is different rules put into play. Also if you go to a roller derby bout you will see all the refs in the center of the track, its to make sure the game is played fairly

    I don't get it still lol. So they are getting blocked by their own team? And have to circle the track to repeatedly break through everyone? I thought it was like Nascar where they're just going round and round just knocking eachother off

    One of the best video-explainations ever seen! Only question: why is a ref whistling the start of the jam? :p

    • @brexpeep
      @brexpeep 5 лет назад +2

      they do that to start a jam, so the jammer knows when to go through the wall/pack (the blockers)

    Wrong! It starts with everyone going forward. It's a game of fluidity. This VERSION is lazy. You block going forward. Without that it's boring. No speed, no endurance,no excitement. It's a sissified version. There must be a bank track. It's must be coed. Alfa males and woman reaching a goal. That dynamic was exciting. Old school or go home. The reason this version is not catching on is for the reasons I mentioned. Get it together and stop trying to sell this watered down boring version. Play real Roller Derby I I'm just saying.
