Thanks for the tip, Poobah. I'll check them out and keep them in mind when I start to do this stuff. :-)

The best place to host non-live video in a longer format than YouTube's measly ten minutes is Vimeo.com.

Hi Loretta!

Thanks! That's good to hear. Without fans like me, there would be no Derby. Skaters make the game great, and fan support makes it greater. I also agree with you about all the skating, whether it be flat track or banked track skating, we should all get together on this and like you said, quit putting each other down. I personally have never been to a flat track game, as all I have known is the banked track games. Regardless of which form of Derby is being played, skaters go out and bust their butts off on the track, whether it be before 500 people or 50.

I definitely plan to be at the next LVHR game with my video camera, and probably my regular camera and get good video footage and still photo's. Maybe the next part of the dream would be if we could stream the game online live, or even from the video footage, I could probably archive it somehow so people can see the entire game. I'll be thinking about how I can do this, but I just love Derby and I just hope the sport can get bigger and better and thrive like it did in the 60's and 70's. :-)

Hi Chuck,
Your support is always welcome treat for any groups of of skaters. I as an old time Derby skater will also support any groups that puts a pair of skates on and wants to have an interest in the old way of derby or what's happening today with another generation.
I only have one comment On both flat track and bank track be it Roller Gals skating un the name of Derby.its a sport & a game,It has rules Its ben around for now going on 75 yrs.Now a new groups have started up ,good luck to everyone,The Bay area The La Area, have bank tracks
In in the flat track good luck all across the country.Both the ODSA,& the Wftda I wish your all luck, and stop putting every one down learn to work together.
Or roller Derby will go back in its grave.This is always my opinion

If I were 15 or so years younger and 50 lbs. lighter, I'd probably go for it. I haven't been on roller skates since I was a freshman in High School, so we're talking around 1981...close to 30 years now. But like I posted in aother thread, it's like riding a bike...you never forget. I would love to get back into shape before I do anything like this. I'll be 45 in about 4 weeks, so I'm probably not the best candidate for skating derby. I'll probably stick to taking the pictures of the games. :-) LOL

Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Chanukah, happy solstice (for the athiests) and happy hoilidays as well as a fantastic New Years to all!
