About Roller Derby
Roller derby has experienced a nationwide explosion in the past few years, and now it's found its way to New Hampshire. This gang of fearless female athletes offers more than your average sporting event.  Roller derby is a full contact, aggressive, competitive sport conducted on four-wheeled skates.  

Roller derby involves two teams of four blockers skating around an elliptical track, while a point scorer from each team ("the jammer") tries to fight their way through, gaining a point for each opposing player they pass. Trips, grabs, elbows, head-butts and fist-fighting are all illegal – but spine-crunching shoulder barges, hip checks and booty blocks are totally legit.
