Late on Saturday nights we'd be able to pick up a Los Angeles station that showed it. Those women were really rough and tumble. The guys got pretty wild as well. Never see it on TV anymore, but that was back in the 60's when I used to watch it.<br /><br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br /><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-88045081267785675602015-10-18T09:41:47.645-07:002015-10-18T09:41:47.645-07:00A few of my friends have done roller derby over th...A few of my friends have done roller derby over the years.

We have a team downtown. The kids got to meet a roller derby team from Denver at an annual party held for kids who had cancer (my son's friend had leukemia at 3), and my daughter loved them.
