00:00:01.240 - 00:00:57.360

Mhm. Yeah, jesus. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Well, I'm teaching them how to be future roller derby stars and this is going through the hard knocks. This is like college at the College of hard knocks, I call

00:01:58.530 - 00:02:11.510

it and usually the best skaters come out of here because if they don't make it, we let them out the front door. But what we teach them here is how to fall down. We show them how to deliberately fall down, how to deliberately go over the

00:02:11.510 - 00:02:22.140

rail. How do you fight and protect themselves? We show them all this stuff down here because when they go up with the pros, they got to know how to do it. If they don't know how to do it, they won't be able to protect themselves. And

00:02:22.140 - 00:02:40.280

this is why we call this place to college of hard knocks. And it really is what kind of people come here. Well we have all types of people. We have, we have people that our journey men welders, we have bookkeepers, we have stenographers, we have guys

00:02:40.280 - 00:02:51.560

are carpet layers, We have all kinds of people. People are going to study, to be lawyers. You'd be surprised they want to be rolled out there. The stars. I can't understand it. But we have people that are nurses and of course we like to have nurses

00:02:51.560 - 00:03:04.170

here. We need him once in a while. What's the lure? What gets people interested in becoming involved in the roller derby? Well, I think nowadays uh this is the time where people want to be recognized that years ago, a guy would have a lot of talent

00:03:04.170 - 00:03:15.410

and he'd sit in the back seat and never say nothing. Or like the old days a wallflower sit against the wall, he never come out and dance nowadays. People are more aggressive. They want to be noticed than I think the Derby is one way they can

00:03:15.410 - 00:03:26.390

be, not only through the skating end of it, but a lot of our Spectators are that way you'll see him jump up in their chairs and they're over the rail after people. But this is what people want to be recognized nowadays. And I think most of

00:03:26.390 - 00:03:35.160

our skaters wannabe stars and in their heart they think they're going to be stars, but a lot of them never make it. But this is the reason I think that they want to be noticed.
