Guys. If you don't know what roller derby is, look it up. Roller derby is when two opposing teams, 4 blockers each (8 blockers in total) and 1 jammer each (2 jammers in total) the jammer has to get through the blockers to get points. After getting through the pack once is when you're able to score points. So if you pass 2 blockers you get 2 points. It's not easy.
the amount of insecure men in these comments is crazy. just because you see a group of women being powerful and being extremely talented doesn’t mean that it is a bad sport. if you actually watched more than the first 35 seconds you can see that it is incredibly difficult and fun to watch.
Seriously, they're really just salty because they don't understand all the rules and plays of the game. They might be stronger on foot but not once they put on some wheels.
Seeing a woman challenging her body is super sexy. A professional dude lady playing that’s body building would crush a woman tho. Most men are superior in strength
@@systematik I've been reading a shitload of comments you've replied to, and I love all of them. Thank you, at least someone realizes that this game could possibly be the most boring thing I've ever wasted my fucking life on. It's not "cool" it's not "interesting" it's a fucking joke. As for those women that could prolly "beat my ass" yeah take on my 6'7" 360 pound ass and then maybe I'll give them some credit. It's about as dangerous as grade school wrestling at this point.
i think im one of the few guys that came here just cos i wanna watch the sport and see girls competing on rollerbades. i actually was going thru my movies and saw 'whip it' and came straight here, lol. was expecting to see an actual track and not taped off grids, lil bit confusing but i do enjoy the sport.
Not everyone enjoys the same things but I have never heard anyone call derby boring confusing and even complicated but boring never! If you have never seen a bout and do not understand the rules it can look pointless and personally I do think derby is a bit rule-heavy but still the most exciting sport I have ever payed or watched!
These comments confuse me so much, what do y’all think roller derby is? I am playing roller derby and it’s clearly not what y’all think. It’s a real tough sport that mostly women plays. It’s a sport. And a way of life. It is a real sport with rules. I love roller derby❤️
I'm here because my older sister used to be on a roller derby skating team here in the IE of California. Many years ago and I got here listening to rock skate bounce. I got redirected to this and now its making me miss watching my sister play and makes me want to go skating even though I can't skate myself at all lol!! I don't know to much about the sport but I do enjoy it and hey my sister used to do this sport so I love it!! 2019
Liviahel I don't know all the rules but what I do know is there are 4 jammers and 1 star jammer on each team. The star is the one that scores the points. The star has to make 1 lap around and then pass the jammers of the opposing team. For each jammer including the star jammer they pass they get a point. So up to 5 points each lap. The star can pass their helmet thingy on to someone else but I dont know if thats limited to the jammer that has that stripe one or if it can be any jammer. If someone gets a penalty they have to go out for I think a minute. The jammers are trying to stop the stars from getting past and also stop the opposing jammers from stopping their own star passing
For those saying this isn’t real roller derby and that 70’s/80’s roller derby was more hardcore... you know oldschool roller derby was acting right? They weren’t actually hitting eachother, not even a bruise.
@@TheHunterPaige Yeah, except the fact that Roller Derby is still a gargantuan fucking turd, so basically the best part of the turd is the smell in this case.
10 on the track, five on each team, 3 blockers on each team, 1 jammer on each team, 1 pivot on each team, blockers try to stop the other teams jammers from getting through, jammers score points by passing the other teams blockers, lead jammer (one in front) can call off the jam at anytime, pivots (stripes) can take the jammers (stars) helmet covers if the jammer is struggling. There are legal and illegal zones on players bodies. Illegal areas are middle of the back, below the knees, and from the bra strap/shoulders up and no pushing anyone back with your forearm or using your forearm. Legal target zones are everywhere else on the body. Don’t go outside the lines of the track. Yes it is confusing, search up for all the rules if you want, this is the basis of how to play a game. This is for anyone who doesn’t know the rules.
ooh in your off skate time do heaps of cycling (great for cross over leg strength and cardio) and climb stairs side ways in cross over form to build specific strength. find some 20min HIIT workouts and try your absolute hardest. keep a journal of skill progress and optimise your workouts to what you need to work on, share this journal with your coaches and get feedback. good luck! this is what I've been doing as a crashie and I passed my 27/5s last fortnight after my second attempt :)
This looks dope but I guess I need to read up the rules a little better seems like something you can get into after watching and really learning what to watch for
I do not understand how one team can call the "round" off as soon as the other team escapes to start picking up points... that just does not make sense. Means one team can consistently pick up points while the other team will never catch up.
Hi! The first jammer (the one with the star on their helmet) to get through the pack of blockers legally is declared Lead Jammer, which gives them the advantage of being able to call off the jam (round) early. Either jammer can earn lead, but if neither one makes it through the pack legally on their first pass, there is no lead jammer and the jam lasts a full 2 minutes. Check out our Roller Derby 101 video: ua-cam.com/video/OId6gTd2LCM/v-deo.html and learn more at wftda.com/the-game/.
Hi so im new and eventually in the future i want to do roller derby, can someone explain to me what’s going on, does the scorer have to go through the jammers? Why do the jammers link together? Everything is just really confusing and id like to start somewhere. Xx
Emmy Boo the people with the stars on their helmets are the jammers, they have to get past the blockers on the opposing team :) one the jammer makes an initial pass (getting through the opposing team’s blockers and around the track once), she scores points for each person from the opposing team. the jammer that gets through first is “lead jammer” and she’s the only one who can call the jam (which means everyone resets back at the jam line, and the jammers have to get through again before they can score more points). I’m sure there are videos that explain the rules better than I just did hahah It’s a really fun sport though!! If there is a league where you live you should look into joining :)
The Men's Roller Derby Association was founded in 2007 and men's/co-ed leagues existed prior to that formation. mrda.org/ Additionally: many referees have no roller derby play experience, but come from other skating backgrounds such as hockey.
I could play this sport, but then again I think it's best for everyone if I don't. I'd probably end up punching someone in the face because they all team up on one person and push them around. And they don't even hesitate when they invade someone space.
Wat ar Yoo DOIN I My SWAMP! I'm learning how to play this game and it's so intense! There's so much involved and I haven't even got to the physical contact side of it yet, it's all just learning how to have control while you're on skates and how to weave and stop, etc. But it's so much fun :) definitely worth giving it a shot :)

Rollerball would be so much better, this is boring.

I learned something new I though it was just knocking the opposite team out of the rink

With the right broadcasting and marketing, a professional roller derby league could seriously be a big success
They have to make the track wider.
@@hanson4035 They also have to make it interesting, less fucking boring, competitive, and time travel back to the 30's.
It's an international sport...
Only if it was Rollerball and not this boring shit.

Has literally everyone come from the try guys or an animated show like am I the only one here that actually likes the sport
Probably, because this is possibly the most boring thing I have ever wasted my time on. And yes family guy brought me here.

What the hell is going on?
how the hell is this a thing? 'murica!
8 blockers, 4 on each team try and stop 2 jammers, 1 on each team, from passing the pack ans scoring a point for each person they pass.
Roli Rivelino what are you here for? Not roller derby?
@marco pinchetti Except for the detail that it's an international sport.
In the game before this it was London Vs Australia (Melbourne) so not exactly 'Murica
i have no idea what's going on, American Dad brought me here
Devin Hence lol family guy brought me here
Amazing! Exact same lmao how the hell did we get here?!
shyguy778 that my friend is another good question lol
same lol
Devin Hence yo same
Family guy bringing me here, intense sport xD
Joshua Foran MEE TOO
Bruh me tooooooo
Yeah, but family guy potrayed it WAYY different. For example, in roller derby, you can't beat up people. That's a penalty.
@@christopherhunt4758 bruh
SAME

This was an amazing game! Couldnt stop watching It and what a finale!!! Awesome
When I found out about this. I thought it was cool! Makes me want to play.
Surprised noone has picked the nickname "Lunchlady" yet
thats a good one. DO IT
This is amazing but the yellow lines they draw on the replays that aren't even slowmo just kill me every time 😂
their names lol. even the officials
Cinnamanster A one of the best parts of roller derby
@@TheHunterPaige Yeah, except the fact that Roller Derby is still a gargantuan fucking turd, so basically the best part of the turd is the smell in this case.
@@systematik u good?
This was the first time ever watching roller derby and it was a good game.
I have a bout this Saturday and ima bit nervous ☹️
Bette Lou Files I’m a little late but I hope it went well ♥️
Cinnamon Roll, aw thank you. We didn’t win but it was pretty good
In my not unbiased opinion, the greatest game of roller derby ever played.
I'm literally trying to understand this for a story I'm writing, looks fun, too!
Always wanted to try skating!
I love watching these talented and tough ladies giving it their all
Just like any other sport it’s sexy cause of their fitness. The dancing and pillow fights had me crying tho
What a great game!
Agreed, I only fell asleep 9 times.
Omg 7:30 had my mind blown
I wanna get skates and learn to skate and play roller derby and I already fricken love this sports without even skating
Rose City Rollers?? Like the book Roller Girl?? Awesome XD
bea bae I’m so late responding to this, but I totally got interested in roller derby and the rose city rollers from roller girl!!
My parents would never let me do this...I would die anyways XD
This is fucking awesome! I've never watched it before but the physicality and finesse is sweet.
Scald Eagle is in the book of Roller Girl
Grace Wu 101 It was Rose City Rollers so yeah😱I love the book
Cookie Jar I KNOW OMG FANGIRLING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I LOVE SCALD EAGLE!! #ROLLERGIRLS
Same that's while I'm watching
I love roller girl uwu
oh i read that book today
Ya know, I'm a skateboarder/downhilll longboarder and I can't lie this looks fun. I would definitely like to play!
Loved it in the 70's
It was staged like WWE in the 70s. This is an actual competitive sport now.
I'm interested in getting into this sport... How are y'all here for television???
I like that name “oh my god what the fuck?”
That was intense!!
Where are the other derby players in the comments?! Who else is studying some technique?!
I am!
35:49 that was a dab
such a good bout
Wow!! I cant wait to start practice 😍
I've never seen this (nice) game in my life.
USA is like another planet.
The rest of the world loves football (soccer).
yeah and that's pretty boring, we need more sports like this!!

I didn't know this sport was still around advertise
I play ice hockey and I would say with honesty that I would suck at this. Rollar and ice skates are clearly different.....
There is someone named BRAWN SWANSON. I need to meet you
This a interesting game I do roller derby but not level 2 yet I really want to tho any tips
Stab them with the pointy end
ooh in your off skate time do heaps of cycling (great for cross over leg strength and cardio) and climb stairs side ways in cross over form to build specific strength. find some 20min HIIT workouts and try your absolute hardest. keep a journal of skill progress and optimise your workouts to what you need to work on, share this journal with your coaches and get feedback.

needs more batman! eh? eeeeh? guys?
I'll be leaving now...
seriously though, why is this not more of a thing? seems fun as hell!
I don't think those are their real names
Hyde Whyte umm duhh besh my derby name is blue fire
Nora Rolling is a better one
MEE TOO
It’s their roller derby name. Mine is The Great Comet, which obviously isn’t my real name.
Mine is Spayshocker
People keep saying they are here from cartoons 🙄 I'm here for the goth girls in shorts
ew
So, Roller Derby is a thing. Way to go humans.
Been a thing since 1922, ....crazy things people come up with to stay entertained, lol
@@kesa676 Actually more like 1935
See the ones with stars as QB’s like in american fb. And everyone else as linemen.
Interesting. I want to give this a try one day. I don't get the object of the game. How do you score points?
The Jammer has to break ahead of the pack, and then lap them. Each player on the opposite team they pass is one point (including the opposite jammer).
The jammer (star on helmet) gets a point every time she passes an opposing team member they opposition try to stop her by blocking her!
They need to wear something more noticeable than a star. Maybe a diferent color or something
never heard about this sport. but looks amazing :D
I have know idea whats going on King of the Hill brought me here!!#Go Bombers
moderdonia!
I dare you guys to count how many penalties Rose City got
This looks dope but I guess I need to read up the rules a little better seems like something you can get into after watching and really learning what to watch for
This & the Marble Olympics are my new shit.
Lmao the redhead going WOOOOOO
Interesting sport. I can get into this
It did happen in the NBA
This makes me want to watch whip it
It seems like just getting around the other team's defense isn't the goal but that you have to actually break through them?
the ref jump at 1:10:04 😂
If anyone was wondering they come up with those names for them selfs
"They are able to slow her roll, literally" ha ha ha ha!
Its like speedball, without the ICE CREAM!, ICE CREAM!
"They must have therapy kittens there or something".
Amazing!!!!!
It’s currently 5:46 and I’m sweating profusely from laughter
In America do you call them bouts? Where I'm from we call them scrumages
both
RIP CITY!!!
I don't understand what I watch.
Where is the ball?
Butt jam? I thought I heard it all when they came up with the Butt Fumble. 😂
The fact that I have no idea what's going on, and the joke names...I swear I'm watching MXC hahaha
I fucking loved that show "Guy LeDouch" is a legend
Dose anyone hear get what’s going on 🤔
Rad teams both of em, not getting all the American dad/ family guy references in the comments tho
I do not understand how one team can call the "round" off as soon as the other team escapes to start picking up points... that just does not make sense. Means one team can consistently pick up points while the other team will never catch up.

I came here from the Roller Girl book
These two teams should change color???? Since when is Gotham white???????
I have been watching this for more then 11 minutes and I still do not get this at all
Just like any other sport, ya gotta look up the rules
I could play this sport, but then again I think it's best for everyone if I don't. I'd probably end up punching someone in the face because they all team up on one person and push them around. And they don't even hesitate when they invade someone space.
Wat ar Yoo DOIN I My SWAMP! That's how the game works. It's where your personal bubble dies. I didn't do it for that reason but I'm going it now :)
Wat ar Yoo DOIN I My SWAMP! I'm learning how to play this game and it's so intense! There's so much involved and I haven't even got to the physical contact side of it yet, it's all just learning how to have control while you're on skates and how to weave and stop, etc. But it's so much fun :) definitely worth giving it a shot :)
