Description
Modern roller derby is an international sport dominated by all-female amateur teams, in addition to a growing number of male, co-ed, and junior roller derby teams, and is, as a roller sport, under consideration for the 2020 Olympics. Most modern leagues share a strong "do it yourself" (DIY) ethic which uniquely combines athleticism and elements from punk, camp and third-wave feminist aesthetics. (This photo is of a co-ed game.)

Always a big fan of roller derby. This reminds me of Jim Croce's song. Love the action and cropping. - v/f
