I found this kick ass roller derby video on the basics of derby.

Backspin has recently released the second series of Jamskate Wheels. I know what your think, why would you need to know this when I skate derby. Let me tell you from firsthand experience, these wheels GRIP! They come in harnesses from 88a to 92a.

Now first off I don’t suggest these wheels for the roller girls that skate on a well maintained floor or have a few extra pounds. I did however find this wheel great for gym floor and crapy concrete floors.

Normally what I do it test the wheel and pass it on, this time I keep the Vanilla Backspin wheels as a backup in my skate bag.
