Ep 111: Hell on Wheels - What it takes to skate in the Texas Roller Derby

View descriptionShare

Austin famously relaunched the modern roller derby movement nearly 20 years ago, and today, two leagues dominate the sport. The Texas Rollergirls, which skate on a flat track, and Texas Roller Derby, one of only a handful of banked track leagues in the country. TXRD, as it is known, has a new season starting this month, and we brought in Jenna Johnson, a veteran member of the Cherry Bombs, to talk about what it takes to make it in derby, why the sport has grown so much in popularity and how this skater-owned league continues to thrive.
