I’ve traveled through 48 states and have spent time skating derby in a significant chunk of them. Modern roller derby is executed at a variety of skill and attitude levels, and I’ve witnessed my fair share of dysfunction on the track. I’m compiling this list in the hopes that, if you’re an offender, you can purge the negativity and get yourself back into a positive, healthy, and productive mindset to pursue your derby dreams. And if you’re a witness, you can read along and fantasize about hip-checking said offenders into oblivion.
