These Vintage Photos Prove That Roller Derby Has Always Been Cool

RollerGames

RollerGames was created in 1989 by two television producers. The show presented a theatrical version of the sport, featuring a steeply banked figure-eight track, an alligator pit, and a number of skaters who had both been in the previous Roller Games league as well as younger players. Although the show was extremely successful, it only lasted 13 weeks before being canceled.
