London Roller Derby - Grand Slam Finals

[Teshi]

Managed to get back from Spain in time, pick up my gear and get there in time for the Rollergirls Derby Final's.

Real interesting yet agressive sport. Really worth giving it a visit!

Please excuse my ignorance, but what's the idea? Is it like speed skating for goths?

The main objective is jammers/overlappers have to lap the pack to score a point. The pack have to bloke them from overtaking by knocking them off the track. Its a full contact sport.

Superb, saw this on CSI New York once, looks aggressive!

Great shots, the pick by a mile has to be #5, great timing. Love the last shot too.

@ gally
We are talking full on pushes, barges, flying into crash mats, taking out crowd members etc.
