Oh the days of roller derby were so awesome, with the superstars Charlie was the greatest back in the day in the 80’s with the Bay Bombers wow very enjoyable days that was with the fast speed and the competition at its peak; even the violence was so cool, slamming their elbows into the opposing opponent face or chest. Yes it was violent at times but with all the excitement except when the good guys got hurt, they of course had the regular villains too that kind of kept up the soap opera affect; it was like the wrestling scenario you had to have a game plan to get the audience exciting and screaming. And they really had some super nice skates, I think that they would be kind of like roller hockey skates but would have to do a little research on that, and they certainly didn’t use the inline skates back then; they used the larger high ankle racing skates then maneuvered very well. They still play all over they are even still in the bay area but I don’t believe it still has that original feeling that they expelled during their games, with the original team players they made it feel the way that they did and for a good reason; that is how they started it’s admiration.
No matter whether you are putting on a play or a television series or a baseball game, or football it’s all about keeping the audience excited and wanting more and even more, they are hungry for the thrill and excitement of the kill; so we give them what they want at no cost, says these champions that had their glory and now replaced with new faces.
There are many competitions out there still and it holds some good games and some good players for all of us to enjoy and for our children to come to love the sport can be even more exciting knowing that they will love it just as much as we did back in the day which feels like ages ago but is really; they just make us feel that way, ha… we had it better than they ever can because we had the true and original excitement that built the entire sport.
But knowing that it was brought to us has a good feeling in its own way, watching them grow and become famous right before our own eyes and experience every moment that they did and many times even behind the scene which can be pretty cool; like going to a big musical concert and having back stage passes to join the stars in their moments including the post concert party, wow how exciting is that.
It doesn’t really matter what age you are and what team you are rooting for it is still very thrilling and exciting so go out and go to a game and enjoy yourself and don’t forget to take some little ones so they can start creating their own special stars and idles.
