Mama’s Got Her Hit On: Roller Derby Popular Among Mommy Set
Cincinnati has a team, as do Seattle, San Francisco, and New York. And many of the roller queens are mamas. Perhaps everyone needs an outlet for all that pent up … energy. Whatever brings these women to the rink, all this toughness and athleticism and fishnet stockings makes me proud. Motherhood is a tough sport, the perfect training ground for serious kick-ass athleticism.
And what better way to overcome the monotony of dishes and laundry than a strong shoulder to the ribcage of a fellow tough chick? That’ll make you feel just right!

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amHOORAY! i’ve been reading babble and the strollerderby column for a few weeks now just WAITING for a roller derby post!
bruises to you, mason vixxen! smashalina jolie here from milwaukee’s brewcity bruisers. i have been in derby for over a year, but am off skates for a bit since i am pregnant with my first. we have a lot of moms in our league. it’s cool seeing everyone’s kids at the bouts. i’ll be excited to come back to regular practice after i give birth to get my body in shape.
for those of you who dream of tieing on a pair of quads, reinventing your personality, and knocking the socks off a bunch of other ladies….go for it! it’s a great support and social network, great exercise, and a fantastic way to let off some steam! most cities–even the small and medium ones–have a league that is in operation, or is forming. GO FOR IT!

Anonymous commented on Jan 01 70 at 12:00 amI so wish I could go tryout for our local league (Houston). It makes me almost wish I was still married so I could at least have a built in babysitter so I could dress up and bash strangers in the face while hurtling across a hard surface on wheels. Almost.
