Roller derbies are taking off in the UK in a big way. Seeing that the women who compete in these aggressive competitions dress in incredibly sexy, often dirty, costumes, it is not really surprising.

Roller derbies have been popular in North America for a while, and now it looks as though the ‘sport’ is about to catch on in the UK.
