    Sorry to bump up an old post, but I was just searching for roller derby as I used to play. There are at least two teams in London - London Roller Girls and London Rockin Rollers. There may be more now, but I'm seriously out of the loop. There are leagues (as the teams are called) in pretty much every city of the UK, and a lot of the towns too. If you live somewhere with a leisure centre nearby, chances are there's a derby league skating there!

    So who on here in the UK plays? I used to skate with Birmingham Blitz Dames as the ref Justine Credible.

    Sadly I have the worst (WORST) balance on wheels. I tried it and I couldn't stand up, seriously. I ended up with a massive bruise on my *kitten* that meant I coudln't sit down properly for at least two months. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

    Anyway, I LOVE watching it. I'm going to give it a try again when I've lost some weight. I go a bit crazy when I'm watching it. There is usually a lot of shouting.

    Firstly - I should be starting this in a couple of weeks with the Leicester Dolly Rockit Rollers.

    Bout with Sheffield on 25/02/12 then the intake is the next day.

    does anyone know how many calories you could burn doing this?
