Roller Dolls Blur

Next door to the Rocky Mountain Bike Show was a roller derby.

Roller Derby? you ask. That's how I felt before I went but now I get it.

The girls are fast, athletic and appear to have a lot of fun. Each team has 5 skaters on the track at time. There is 1 lead skater whose purpose I did not understand, then there are 3 blocking skaters and 1 rear skater. The rear skaters score points for their team by getting around the blocking an lead skaters of the opposing team.
