A few weeks ago on a flight home from somewhere I watched the movie Whip It. It was the only movie left on Air Canada that I hadn’t already seen and it was that or some romance set in the 1800’s, no thanks. It was a decent movie and reminded me about a post from a colleagues blog on the Toronto Roller Derby.
A $28 PayPal transaction later and we had our tickets! It was a fun event, the atmosphere was great and the music was loud. The refs and skaters all had great nicknames like Lou’s Yer Daddy, Elvis Refsley, Lady Gag-ya and my favorite Defe Katelin 
It wasn’t as violent as it was in the movies, not sure if it’s because Hollywood added some or because this was a flat track and they don’t go as fast. Still there were some great hits and I wouldn’t want to skate against any of these ladies!
