Do you remember Roller Derby? I think it was in the 70s that I watched it but not positive. I remember the guys would skate and then the women. They alternated throughout the show.

There’s still roller derby.
Yes, early 70’s I believe; 14 yr old me loved it 🙂
Derby still happens out here!
Huge derby fan
It’s still out there, went to a derby in 2016. Ohio Roller Derby vs Killamazoo Derby Darlins. Was a very exciting event. Yes I have the ticket stub right in front of me. I keep every event ticket stub. Thanks for sharing.
I remember watching it in the 80s when I was a kid. It was more like Pro Wrestling on wheels back then. Queen Kong!
They still do roller derby here in Buffalo too
I like the 70s derby were there was always a fight after the jams

The Canadian all stars vs can’t remember maybe the Thunderbirds . Paul the bear Rupert, Diane Seaverson, Skinny mini Miller. Was kinda like wrestling, way over the top.
From the Cow Palace in San Francisco.
During the fall of ’85 ESPN had roller derby on in prime time on Tuesday nights.
There was RollerJam from 99-01. They wore inlines though.
I was a big fan of the T-Birds, back in the day.
Such a civilized sport.
You can just imagine the caveman that invented the wheel:
“Look what I made”
“What the hell is that?”
“It’s a wheel!”
“what the hell do you do with it”
“Well you could put four of them on each of your shoes and then beat the hell out of people while ride around in circles”
“What the hell is a shoe?”
Our team just had it’s first bout yesterday!
