The sport of roller derby originally began in 1922 when the term referred to flat-track roller skating races.  The sport evolved into a more popular contact, team sport format in the 1930's, which has continued on to the present day.  After falling out of popularity in the 1970's, the sport experienced a revival in the early 2000's that focuses on athletic ability as mush as the tough, indie aesthetic expressed by team uniforms and skater nicknames.

The sport has gained even more attention since being featured in Drew Barrymore's 2009 directorial debut, "Whip It," starring Ellen Page.
