Again excellent footage.  A behind the scenes look at the training of Roller Derby skaters and what it takes to become one.  No fancy training facility like most sports sadly.  Having to pay to train and doing it part time till one made the pros.  It took dedication and just love of the sport to become a Roller Derby skater.  Not like the other major sporting events where everything sadly seems to be evolved around the dollar bill and how much they can make!  Thanks again for saving it!
