London Roller Girls- Women only roller derby league action and portraits. by Mauro Bottaro
This is a fast and furious sport, one of the fastest growing grassroot activities in the UK. It is an American contact sport which reached this side of the ocean under 2 years ago and since then it has spread all over the country. The most amazing thing about this sport is that it has been and remains a women only activity, and that’s probably why it is the perfect pastime for feminists with an attitude. Roller derby is based on formation skating, 2 teams, around a small track and involves a surprising degree of violence between teams, elbowing and shoulder barging is part of the game. The 30 London Roller Girls may look sexy on the track, their toned thighs, skimpy vests, hot pants and fishnets, but they are very dangerous on those wheels.
