Ms. Georgia Hase taking out her frustrations on Wally George. Can't wait to see RollerGames back on the air again! Could it be coming soon? Stay Tuned!

I remember the admiration I had for the skaters, to me they were rockstars. I was only 11 when they were on, but all I wanted to be back then was one of those guys. However, the thing that I remember most had to have been the wall of death. I mean seeing skaters airborn (pre Xgames and inline era). I've tried going clockwise at my skate rink and it's so difficult- and to have done it on the wall of death. Awesome!

my most memorable part of Rollergames was when I first saw it on tv and I became a fan for life, it was between the T-Birds and Bad Attitude, it was truly exciting, I also saw then in person when they came to Edmonton, That will remain my most exciting live event ever..and that game when the Jackson Brother went over the wall of death was the All-star game, good game

The most memorable was witnessing the Thunderbirds playing the Chicago Pioneers at Comiskey Park in Chicago! Shirley and her Thunderbirds against the Pioneers. The roller sport at its best.

My most memorable moment happened last night when I met, shook hands, and had my photo taken with Greg Robertson at the T-Birds - Northern Hawks game. To see him skate, jamming and dodging the defense like I saw him so many times on TV was awesome. Greg has always been one of my favorite skaters.

Where to even begin? Watching at 11:30 on Saturday nights. Marveling at "Stars and Stripes" Matt Bickham's mastery of the wall of death and jet jump. Ralphie Valladares. Wally George giving the heels what for. Ms. Georgia Hase slapping Chuck Skull during a Bad Attitude-Violators game, and Greg Robertson flying into the Violator bench off the jump in that same game. "Mr. Mean" Harold Jackson going into the pit 3 weeks in a row, twice by his own brother, "Monster Man" Bernie Jackson, then his trip over the wall during the All-Star Game. David Sams' commentary. The fights. Mike Garth (Vicki O's hubby) getting bumped by "Sweet" Stephanie Garcia and having his glasses knocked off in the process. Ahh, memories.

If memory serves me correctly, it was the Violators-Maniacs tilt right after the T-Bird Twins were sent to those teams (Jennifer to the Violators, Kristine to the Maniacs).
