Roller derby?

I got asked the other day, "what do I think about roller derby?" Honestly, I don't think about it much. A friend of mine has a MySpace friend that I noticed--she's a member of the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls--so I'm certainly aware of the resurgence of a kind of punky, gothy, grrrl-power version of the sport. I've thought it might be fun to go see them skate, but haven't been so interested that I've made it happen. Who knows? If I went, I might become an enthusiastic convert, right?

Still, fit, athletic women in short skirts? (and I've noticed regular skating does wonders for a woman's figure...) What's not to like about that?
