10 MILLION TICKETS AS WELL. ROLLER DERBY RETURNS TO THE KENTUCKY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTER THIS WEEKEND, AND LOUISVILLE ROLLER DERBY IS KICKING OFF ITS NEW SEASON. OUR SAM CARTER HAS A PREVIEW SHOW OUT HERE AT CHAMPS ROLLER DROME ONE FINAL TIME AS WE PREVIEW THE NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT TRIPLE HEADER.
COMING UP THIS WEEKEND WITH LOUISVILLE ROLLER DERBY, THREE DIFFERENT GAMES WE GOT A JUNIORS GAME, A B TEAM GAME, AND THEN THE A TEAM TAKES TO THE OVAL. WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? TAKE ME THROUGH IT. WE GOT SLINGER OBVIOUSLY BACK WITH US. YEAH. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE TRAINING
DRILLS THAT WE DO. IT HELPS WORK ON IMPACT AND HINTS AND IT ALSO HELPS ON TOE STOP AND FOOTWORK. THIS REALLY HELPS ON THE TRACK WHENEVER WE’RE PLAYING THE GAME TO BE ABLE TO JUKE AROUND THE BLOCKERS AS A JAMMER AND ALSO GET AWAY FROM THAT OFFENSE AS A BLOCKER, IT’S COOL.
AND THE THING THAT LOOK, I SAID THIS TO YOU BEFORE AND I WANT THIS TO COME OUT THE RIGHT WAY. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE SPORT. THIS IS NOT PRO WRESTLING. YOU GUYS ARE ATHLETES THAT COMPETE TO WIN THE GAME FOR SURE. THIS IS 100% A FULL CONTACT SPORT. WE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY.
AND AND IT’S ALL ABOUT GETTING THOSE POINTS. MOST POINTS WINS EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU’VE BEEN DOING THIS A DECADE, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET LEBRON JAMES MONEY FOR DOING THIS. WHAT KEEPS YOU COMING BACK AND WHAT WHAT HELPED YOU SURVIVE THE PANDEMIC? SO REALLY, FOR ME, ROLLER DERBY HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE TROUBLE WITH SOCIAL CUES AND SOCIALIZING, AND THIS HAS BEEN A REALLY SAFE PLACE FOR ME TO HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT HAS TAKEN ME AS I AM, SUPPORTED ME AND REALLY HELPED ME FIND A CONTACT SPORT THAT WORKS FOR ME. AND IT’S JUST SO MUCH FUN. THAT IS SO COOL. ALL RIGHT.
LET’S SEE ANOTHER DRILL QUICKLY. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE ALL GETTING IN POSITION NOW, RIGHT? SO THIS NEXT ONE’S GOING TO BE A PACE LINE. SO THE PACE LINES, WE DO TO ALSO WORK ON OUR FOOTWORK, TO WORK ON BEING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY WITH OTHERS. WHILE WE DO THAT, THEY’RE GOING
TO WEAVE AROUND THE BLOCKERS AND THE PLAYERS AS THEY GO THROUGH. THIS IS SO COOL. AND THIS IS ALL PART OF THE TRAINING YOU GUYS DO TO JUST BE AWESOME AT ROLLER DERBY AND YOU GUYS ARE. I WANT TO UNDERLINE REALLY GOOD AT ROLLER DERBY. TAKE ME THROUGH HOW GOOD YOU GUYS ARE.
I MEAN, HONESTLY, THE GREATEST THING ABOUT ROLLER DERBY IS THAT YOU CAN COME IN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE AND YOU CAN GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU’RE PLAYING WITHTH OUR ALL STARS. YOU CAN START OFF JUST BARELY BEING ABLE TO SKATE AND WE WILL TEACH YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO
BE PLAYING COMPETITIVELY AND TO REALLY BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. GETTING LOW, GETTING LOW AND WITH THAT ON THE TRACK. WITH THAT IN MIND, I AM GOING TO SEND IT BACK TO THE STUDIO. GUYS, YOU CAN CHECK OUT ALL OF THE ACTION AND THERE IS A TON OF THAT. WHEN LOUISVILLE ROLLER DERBY
TAKES TO THE OVAL THIS WEEKEND, LOCATIONS, TIMES, TICKETS, AVAILABILITY, WELL, THAT IS GOING TO BE ON THEIR WEBSITE LOUISVILLE ROLLER DERBY.COM TIME FOR ONE MORE SWING ALMOST FELL AGAIN BUT I’M ON MY FEET AND I’M WORKING IT HE ENDS IT STANDING UP WE LOVE TO SEE THAT YEAH HE
