The sport of Roller Derby began in the 1930's and has gone through several reincarnations throughout the years. As most skaters know, the sport is experiencing another boom throughout the country, and this has increased the demand for skates that can hold up to the abuse experienced in the sport.
Derby skaters require more than durability though; they also require a skate that can get up to speed quickly and hold through tight turns. The skates pictured here are some that lend themselves well to the sport.
The skates here are listed (roughly) by price, with the less expensive skates listed first.

Always skate smart. Use appropriate protective gear. If you're not an experienced skater then learn to skate indoors at a roller skating rink. It's a flat and smooth surface with no traffic to deal with. Take lessons.
