i love this sport sm how have i never watched it before wow
Hahaha yes it’s great I played in roller derby since I was 9 I’m now 19 if you really like the go try it out it’s really fun but you do get your ass kicked a whole lot but it’s a great sport
I’m 14 and I’ve been playing since I was 11 I love it so much!!!
Just joined a roller derby team while in college!:) super excited, it’s the first time I’ve been on a team before and I got a long long long ways to go but I’m excited for the journey .
This is how I imagine people who watch football for first time and get really confused by what's happening.
I am so confused
I still never learned what goes on in football lol I like to keep the mystery going
I only know what is happening from a graphic novel
No clue what’s going on rn
Just started roller derby not to long ago! Watching to get some better knowledge on how it works :-)
This isn't really roller derby. You need to look in the 1970s
@@AlmostReady504 sports change overtime 😐
If you end up seeing this, how’s the Roller Derby coming along?
Back in my teenaged days all I did was skate anywhere I could! Even on vacation in Pennsylvania! I randomly entered a speed skating contest and was shocked 2h3n I actually won, speed skating is the best high ever! I always wanted to try roller derby but I'm from Connecticut and we only have like four skating rinks left! I just get two new sweet pairs of roller skates! I can't wait to go again!
Most underrated sport in the world no doubt! These are some good skaters for sure.
As a first time watcher, this is really interesting as a sport seeing the strategy and very clear skill of the jammers ability to evade.
loved this, such an exciting game!!! first full one i’ve watched aside from our rookie scrimmage
I’ve been having a derby marathon now on TH-cam I need to go to one in Austin it’s a must on the list.
For sure! Texas Rollergirls are a fantastic group!
At first I thought this looks boring, but as it progressed it looks like it might be super fun to play.
14:20 omg media woman with the camera... i feel so bad for laughing
So I think I’m starting to understand the rules but can someone explain how the hammer can get five points in one pass?
Hi kevin! The Jammer would score a point for each opponent she passed: 4 blockers + 1 jammer. She only received the jammer lap point if she completed a full lap and the other jammer had not completed a lap (was stuck in the pack or in the penalty box).
In 2019 that rule changed and in the current ruleset a jammer may only score 4 points (4 blockers) per pass.
The rules have continued to evolve over the years; sometimes watching old games requires a rules refresh!
The Hammer is a pretty good derby name.
@@TheWFTDA How do you eep trac of scoring in that mudde
@@dolphinsneu one Jam Ref skates with each of the Jammers and tracks their points which they signal to the Score Keepers at the end of each Jam. Jam Ref is one of my favourite Ref'ing Positions...I skate in the UK as a Referee for Womens Flat Track Derby under the Name 'Dane Dare'
@@danewood2309 How can the score get so high when you can ony score four points per am
14:20 I feel that photographer :(

This is the first time I have seen roller derby since, the 80's I guess - I thought it faded away long ago. The roller derby I remember had banked oval tracks, like NASCAR....and it was fast-paced racing as well as trying to knock each other out of the rink.
yeah this is not Roller Derby
@@SexySpork what is your definition of roller derby then?
This is Flat Track Derby
Holy shit i remember watching this as a kid. My mom recorded it on VHS over my Rugrats the movie cartoon lol. I didn't even know it was still a thing. Why does the ring look different tho?
The derby from the 70s and 80s was played on a banked track - one that wasn't level to the floor. There's still a few banked track leagues out there, but the flat track version is it a LOT more popular, because it's much easier and cheaper to set up a track. Banked track leagues pretty much have to own a warehouse. Flat track leagues can play anywhere with a big enough room.
The other great thing about modern derby is that it's not scripted - no one actually knew who was going to win this game until it ended. (This was frequently not the case in the 80s.)
There's probably a local league in your area - derby is even better live, so worth checking out!
There is two types of Roller Derby. Banked track and Flat Track. There are fewer banked track leagues on the US than flat track as flat track can be played in ANY rink large enough. As a sport it never died, just had resurgence.
Me too!! But they went around the track. This just seems like football without the ball. Please don't kill my childhood!!
@@jamonherman9364 Chill out, man. Banked tracks still exist.
I play derby. Would like to try banked but they are so rare now.
Watching this 5 years later. Wow. Things have changed.
How does this sport exist lol, it's so gnarly. I'm a guy and quite strong I wouldn't even mess with these women!
As someone who used to love classic roller derby and even tried out before at one point. Tthis is an interesting twist on the sport which is weird because what these girls are doing on the track will be penalties in the older School league and what they do in the older School leagues will be penalties in this version a roller derby but I do understand concessions have to be made for the safety of the skaters but they still need a bank track to really make the sports shine
Yes this is poppycock
These women are insanely tough
I remember the first time I saw these two play. Wow
Hey WFTDA what is the easiest way to learn for the written test? (freshie with mild learning disability)

Scald Eagle is a MFing badass !!!!!
And OH MY BLACKMAN WITH THE HITS WOW
this is such a weird sport but it's kind of interesting to watch
Looks like sport in movie alita battle angel
Did the commentators say that someone was a 1/4 lap behind? Behind who? What laps? I didn't see any laps.
i dint know this sport existed!!
35:54 Why are there sometimes 2 hammers at the start before one skates off?
Teams will do this to confuse the opponent! If you put 2 jammers on the track before the jam starts, the other team doesn't know which jammer will stay & which one they need to focus their defense on.
I liked it a lot better when it was raised wood floor.
I agree! Just like the good old days! Flat surfaced floor defeats the purpose!

@@pcbuild3468 The easiest way is to show you. Find some old footage and you will see the difference for yourself
The old sport was theater, like wrestling. This sport is more legitimate. The reason they use a flat track is so they can set up easily in many different vanues. The banked track is a huge complication and expense.
Wow number 20 Bravo 👏
I have no idea what's happening but I know stalled eagle is a legend
11:18 has gotta be one of my favorite shots of all time. just avoiding them so easily
Do they not use the roller derby tracks anymore?
Flat Track Derby (the FTD in WFTDA) can be played on any flat surface which makes it much more accessible and portable. Banked track roller derby is a similar but differently conducted sport.
This is a whole new Roller Derby.I am from 1970😂
I'm lost on how the point works. I can see what they need to do but I don't see how they count the points?
Oh I see, every lil line. It's a point and the more you cross its another point.
The jammer gets 1 point for each opponent they pass!

And the scoring video: th-cam.com/video/bFb52bF-Hp4/w-d-xo.html
not nearly as exciting as the old roller derby on the curved tracks
I'm sure skaters would love to have banked tracks back but they are expensive and kinda permanent once installed. Hard to find a place that wants something like that.
Is Gotham Girls representing Warner?
I like how they use their street names
Looks rough as hell I don't get it
I don’t like the linking arms by blockers. For much of the jam, it’s just jammed up.
This isn't as rough as I thought it would be
yea but after a PRACTICE you could have about 6 bruises
Gear up and 1v1 me
@@amelliangames7365 I'm not saying it isn't rough, just not to the level I expected
So....it's kind of like football without a ball on roller skates?
Similar to like if ice hockey and football created a hybrid baby, you are constantly playing offense and defense, some teams specialize these roles. End of day it is about getting your jammer (Star on head) through the pack and around for as many laps as possible and their jammer (Star on head) stuck behind your hips
I have no clue what’s going on

Is this roller shoving? I don't see anything but shoving. I don't understand how they score. I guess I need a video to explain the rules. There don't seem to be any. Scattered pockets of small groups of athletes shoving each other. LOL.

You sure do have a sharp eye there.

I was born I 63 mom was feared on our block. Touch her kids she would change your religion, no bank's,no wall no missing teeth , no broken bone's, no concussions.what the point.the women of the 60-70's were gladiators. This is like watching pee wee football.😂
That must be the most American thing ever invented
Felix M. nah that’s cheeseburgers, football, and obesity. this is played all over the world.
@@zyx.gbm66 you forgot diabetes.
@Blue do you ride on horses instead of skates in TX?
that's a bit shocking for me :P ;)

I was watching a clip of 70s roller derby , which is hilarious. But this is sad. Nothing more than wrestling with skates on. Just put them in a ring, and the last person standing... At least they used to actually skate.
Meh I’ll watch roller derby from the 80s
