Skating Your First Game

With so many new skaters coming into the teams, we see some training mistakes repeated often.

Most skaters in their first professional bout are nervous and excited, yet common skating techniques are overlooked. Rookies thrown into the mayhem of a live bout find they have much to learn.

Skating with the pro-teams requires an awareness about what the skaters feet are doing and where other skaters place their feet.

In live games, skaters cannot be focused myopically on the floor in front of them or on their balance. This must all be natural. Good derby skaters develop an awareness of how the 'game' looks to the audience and cameras.

With proper practice of the 5-stride, skaters can  can ride in the pack without tripping into others.

The easiest way to know that you're watching amateur roller skaters is to watch for any uneven strides that actually trip other skaters, even their own team members.

If a skater is tripping over their own skates they have basic seasoning work to do.

Teammates may overlook a few stumbles or mishaps at first but it is the responsibility of a rookie to learn even striding pack work and derby skating without tripping or harming any other skater.

A rookie could go back into training if they are harming others on the track.

The future is bright for the Bombers; as popular in 2008 as they were in 1968.

   ABOUT  THE  

 BOMBERS

The Bay City Bombers join brother and sister teams world-wide. Our derby family and DIY culture is jammed with a loyal fan base that helps the BOMBERS reach new audiences every season.

The Bombers by the Bay have been recognized by the media as the leader of the sport, trailblazing equality for all roller athletes for many decades.

The Bay City Bombers Training Program is the entry point for skaters interested in America's fastest growing sensation.

The Bomber team fields a sassy roller girls and rugged roller guys squad's competing against arch enemy teams under the same Internationally sanctioned rules. The team stays true to roller derby's 1935 roots.

But, that's where the old days end.

Today, skaters compete with amazing speed, banked track agility mixed with bone crushing grudges; reinvented for our rock 'n roll generation Y.

In 2007 hundreds of new skaters tried out. In 2008 only the best will survive.

The Bombers are the team most imitated.
