Derby is a tremendously empowering and exciting sport for women, filled with eccentricities and playfulness that entertains both for those on and off the rink. My first whisper of Roller Derby insight came from the movie ‘Whip It’, directed and starring Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page. At the time I thought it looked quite spectacular. Later I found out that there is in fact quite a large Roller Derby resurgence in Australia influenced by the rockabilly, psychobilly and punk subcultures, which piqued my curiosity even further and thought it could be a rather visually enthralling subject and sport to examine.
